Wantage is one of the largest townships by area in the county, farm country that wraps entirely around Sussex Borough and runs north along Route 23 to the New York state line. Working farms, horse property and houses set on open acreage are the norm, and outside a few denser pockets nearly everything is on a private well and a septic system. Long buried service lines, water treatment and heating equipment nowhere near a gas main are what we deal with out here.
Heights Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is a family-owned, licensed and insured plumbing and HVAC company serving the township of Wantage in Sussex County, New Jersey. 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 Wantage Homes & Buildings
- Nearly every property outside the built-up pockets draws from a private well, so pressure tanks, well pumps and treatment equipment are everyday work.
- Farm and equestrian properties add barn fixtures, yard hydrants and long buried water runs that an ordinary house never has.
- With no natural gas across most of the township, propane, oil and electric heat dominate, and heat pump conversions come up in most replacement conversations.
Sections of Wantage we serve include Colesville, Beemerville, along with every other part of the township.

Wantage Plumbing & HVAC FAQs
Our water tests hard and it is ruining the appliances. What do you recommend?
A properly sized softener is the usual answer, but sizing depends on the grains of hardness and how much water the household uses. We work from the test, and we will say so if sediment or iron filtration should come first.
The well delivers less water than it used to. Is it going dry?
Sometimes, but a worn pump, a clogged screen or a failing pressure tank looks identical from inside the house. We test the system before anyone starts talking about drilling.
We heat with propane and the bills are painful. Are there alternatives out here?
A heat pump working alongside your existing system is worth pricing out, and so is a correctly sized replacement if the current unit is oversized. We run a heat loss calculation on the house rather than matching whatever is already there.
