Free Heating System Health Check with Any Service Call
While I’m there, I’ll look over your boiler or furnace — age, combustion, venting, safety controls, signs of wear — and tell you straight whether it’s good for more winters or living on borrowed time. No upsell, just the answer.

No heat in January isn’t a “we’ll fit you in Thursday” problem. I’m Julian — owner of JSEP Solutions MEP out of Walden, NY. When you call, you get me: one licensed pro who handles heating, plumbing, and electrical — and a boiler job touches all three. Gas piping, hydronic plumbing, zone wiring, controls: one truck, one guy, no “we’ll have to send another tech for that.” Upfront day-rate pricing, no commission salesman, no surprise line items.

Repair or Replace? Straight Answer.
If your boiler is under 15 years old and the problem is a circulator, zone valve, aquastat, igniter, or burner issue — repair it. If it’s 20+ years old, leaking from a section, cracking, or eating fuel like it’s free, replacement is the honest answer. I’ll tell you which one you’re in on the first visit, and I won’t sell you a boiler you don’t need.
Signs it’s time to call:
- No heat, or some rooms heat and others don’t
- Banging, gurgling, or kettling sounds
- Water around the base of the boiler
- Short cycling — turns on and off constantly
- Pilot or burner won’t stay lit
- Fuel bills climbing with no explanation

What I Install & Service
- Gas boilers — cast iron workhorses and high-efficiency condensing units. I spec Crown as my go-to line: honest, serviceable, parts available locally — and I’ll tell you when a different unit fits your house better.
- Oil boilers & burners — installation, service, and annual tune-ups. Oil heat is everywhere in the Hudson Valley and plenty of guys won’t touch it anymore. I do — including burner service and oil-to-gas conversions when the numbers make sense.
- Combi & wall-hung boilers (Navien, Laars) — heat and hot water from one wall-mounted unit; frees up floor space, big efficiency gains in the right house.
- Heat pumps & ductless mini-splits — full section below.
- Warm-air furnaces — repair and replacement, gas and oil.
- Zones, circulators, expansion tanks, controls — brought to code while we’re in there, quoted before, not after.

Heat Pump Installation — Done by a Guy Who Also Knows Boilers
Heat pumps have gotten good — modern cold-climate units heat fine through a Hudson Valley winter, and NYS and utility rebate programs can take real money off the install. But they’re not right for every house, and the guy selling you one shouldn’t be the guy who only sells heat pumps. I install and service both heat pumps and boilers, so my recommendation is based on your house — insulation, ductwork, electric service, fuel costs — not on what’s on my truck. If a heat pump or mini-split makes sense for you, I’ll say so and install it. If your money’s better spent elsewhere, I’ll say that too.
- Cold-climate heat pump installation (whole-home and supplemental)
- Ductless mini-splits — single rooms, additions, garages, whole-house multi-zone
- Electrical done in-house — panel capacity check, new circuits, disconnect: no second contractor
- Straight guidance on rebate programs before you commit
Annual Tune-Ups — the Cheapest Heating Bill You’ll Pay
A neglected boiler wastes fuel every hour it runs and picks the coldest night of the year to quit. Annual service pays for itself: I clean and inspect the heat exchanger, check combustion and draft, test safety controls, inspect venting, and set the burner up to run right — gas or oil. You get a straight report: what’s good, what’s wearing, what to budget for.

What It Costs
I don’t quote boiler work over the phone, and you shouldn’t trust anyone who does. Venting, gas line size, zones, code updates, and access all change the number. What I do promise: I look at the actual situation, give you one upfront price from my posted day rate, and that price doesn’t move once work starts. No commission math, no “while we’re in here” surprises.
