Water Heater Installation & Repair in Orange County, NY

⭐ Read customer reviews on Google · Licensed & Insured NY

No hot water is not a “we’ll get to it next week” problem. I’m Julian — owner of JSEP Solutions MEP out of Walden, NY. When you call, you get me: one pro who handles plumbing, heating, and electrical, which matters more than you’d think on a water heater job (most replacements involve at least two of the three). Written pricing after assessment, no commission salesman, no surprise line items.

Repair or Replace? Straight Answer.

If your water heater is under 8 years old and the problem is a heating element, thermostat, or pilot/igniter — repair it. If it’s 10+ years old, leaking from the tank itself, or rusting at the fittings, replacement is the honest answer. I’ll tell you which one you’re in within the first 15 minutes, and I won’t sell you a tank you don’t need.

Signs it’s time to call:

• Water not getting hot, or running out fast
• Rusty or metallic-smelling hot water
• Rumbling or popping sounds (sediment buildup)
• Water pooling around the base
• Pilot light won’t stay lit

What I Install

• Standard tank water heaters (gas & electric) — 40/50 gallon, most homes, done in a day
• Tankless water heaters — endless hot water, wall-mounted, frees up floor space; gas line and venting done right because I handle all of it
• Power vent & direct vent units — for tricky flue situations
• Expansion tanks, mixing valves, pan + drain — brought to code while we’re at it, quoted before, not after

What’s Included in Every Install

Removal and disposal of the old unit, new shutoff valves, code-required expansion tank check, pressure test, and a full walkthrough before I leave. Permits pulled where the town requires them — I work in these towns every week and know each building department.

What It Costs

I don’t quote water heaters over the phone, and you shouldn’t trust anyone who does. Venting, gas line size, code updates, and access all change the number. What I do promise: I look at the actual situation, give you a written quote with one upfront price for the assessed job, and that price doesn’t move once work starts. No commission math, no “while we’re in here” surprises.

Why Homeowners Pick JSEP

• You get the owner. No dispatcher, no rotating techs. The guy who quotes it installs it.
• Three trades, one truck. Water heater jobs cross into gas, electric, and venting — I handle all of it, so there’s no “we need to send another guy.”
• Written pricing after assessment. You know the price before I start. Period.
• Read customer reviews on Google. Ask your neighbors in Walden and Montgomery.
