Harrison is a former factory town on the Passaic River that has been rebuilding for years around its PATH station, so a single block can hold a century-old frame two-family and a brand-new mid-rise apartment building. The older housing runs on steam and hot-water radiators with original drain stacks, while the new construction runs on compact in-unit air handlers and tankless heaters. We reach Harrison from our Fair Lawn and Hillsdale offices and work both sides of that split.
Heights Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is a family-owned, licensed and insured plumbing and HVAC company serving the town of Harrison in Hudson County, New Jersey. ZIP 07029. 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 Harrison Homes & Buildings
- The older blocks went up as walk-to-work housing for the factories, so the lots are small, the houses sit close together, and whatever mechanical space exists was never sized for modern equipment.
- The newer mid-rise construction near the station uses compact, high-efficiency equipment with sealed venting and electronic controls — nothing like the atmospheric boilers a few streets over.
- Redeveloped former industrial parcels mean some buildings have newer underground utilities while houses a block away still sit on much older sewer laterals.

Harrison Plumbing & HVAC FAQs
Do you service the newer apartment buildings near the Harrison PATH station?
Yes. That work is almost entirely inside the apartment — a water heater, an air handler, a coil or a fixture — and the buildings are new enough that the fault is usually a control, a condensate issue or a failed part rather than worn-out equipment.
Our old radiators heat unevenly and the boiler runs constantly. Is it time to replace it?
Not necessarily. Uneven radiators are usually a venting, trap or circulator problem, and a boiler that never shuts off is often reacting to that rather than failing. We test the system first and give you the repair option and the replacement option side by side.
Can you put central air in an older Harrison two-family with no ducts?
Ductless mini-splits are the usual answer, because they cool room by room without cutting up plaster or losing closet space. Where there is usable attic or soffit room, a small high-velocity duct system is sometimes an option instead.
