Old Tappan is a quiet Northern Valley borough at the New York state line, made up almost entirely of single-family homes on large, wooded lots. Houses here tend to be roomy post-war colonials and split-levels that have been added onto over the years, which usually means multiple heating and cooling zones and more plumbing than the original builder ever ran.

We offer same-day service, on-time arrival and upfront No Worries Pricing on every job, and we handle residential and commercial work.
What We See in Old Tappan Homes & Buildings
- Housing is predominantly large-lot single-family construction from the 1950s onward, with many additions and renovations layered on top.
- Lake Tappan and the surrounding Hackensack River watershed lands border the east side of the borough.
- Bigger, expanded homes here frequently run two heating and cooling zones and more than one water heater.
- There is very little commercial development, so nearly all of the work here is residential.

Old Tappan Plumbing & HVAC FAQs
Our Old Tappan house has an addition that never heats evenly. What can be done?
Additions are often tied into a system that was sized for the original house. We run a heat loss calculation on the whole house, then look at whether the fix is added zoning, duct changes, or a separate system for the addition.
Do we need two water heaters for a large house?
Not always, but if you have multiple full baths on opposite ends of the house, a second unit or a properly sized tankless setup can solve long waits for hot water better than simply buying a bigger tank.
Can you handle the electrical work for a new system, or do we hire an electrician?
We handle it. We have a mechanical engineer and an electrical engineer on staff and do our own wiring for system installations, so you are not coordinating two trades.
