Livingston is a spread-out suburban township of mid-century colonials, ranches and split-levels, with the Livingston Mall and a hospital campus anchoring the commercial side. Most homes here were built in the postwar decades, so first- and second-generation HVAC equipment is now aging out together. We are based in Bergen County and run to Livingston throughout the week for heating, cooling and plumbing work.
Heights Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is a family-owned, licensed and insured plumbing and HVAC company serving the township of Livingston in Essex County, New Jersey. ZIP 07039. 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 Livingston Homes & Buildings
- Mid-century colonials and split-levels are the core housing type, and their ductwork was often sized for the original, smaller system rather than today's equipment.
- Many homes have had additions, which leaves one system trying to condition a house much larger than it was designed for.
- Finished basements are common, so we plan drain and leak work around finished ceilings and walls.

Livingston Plumbing & HVAC FAQs
We added onto our house and now the system cannot keep up. What are our options?
First we run a heat loss and heat gain calculation to find out what the house actually needs now. Sometimes the answer is a larger system with duct upgrades; often it is better to leave the main system alone and add a dedicated zone or mini split for the addition.
Our split-level is warm upstairs and cold in the lower level. Is that the furnace?
Rarely. Split-levels have short duct runs and poor return air in the lower level, so air distribution is usually the issue. We measure airflow at the registers and correct ducting or add zoning before touching the equipment.
Is a heat pump a realistic option in Livingston?
For many homes here, yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps work well in New Jersey winters, and they often pair with existing ductwork or run as a dual-fuel setup with the furnace. We will show you the comfort and operating-cost trade-offs before you decide.
