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 licensed 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). Upfront day-rate pricing, 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’m licensed for 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

Electric water heater replacement with new copper connections — Hudson Valley NY

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 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.

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’m licensed for all of it, so there’s no “we need to send another guy.”
Upfront day-rate pricing. You know the price before I start. Period.

Water Heater FAQ

How long does a water heater installation take?

A standard like-for-like tank swap is usually done in half a day. Tankless conversions or installs needing gas or venting changes typically take a full day.

How much does a new water heater cost in Orange County?

It depends on venting, gas line, code requirements, and access — which is why I quote only after seeing the actual situation. You get one exact price before any work starts, from a posted day rate, not commission — and it doesn’t change mid-job.

Tank or tankless — which should I get?

Tank if you want the lowest upfront cost and simple like-for-like. Tankless if you’re tired of running out of hot water, want lower operating cost long-term, and the gas and venting situation supports it. I’ll give you a straight recommendation on-site — I install both, so I have no horse in the race.

Do I need a permit to replace a water heater?

In most Orange County towns, yes. I handle the permit where required — it protects you at resale and with insurance.

My water heater is leaking — is it an emergency?

If it’s leaking from the tank body, shut off the cold supply valve on top and the power or gas, then call me: (845) 237-3770. Fittings and valve leaks are usually repairable; tank-body leaks mean replacement.

What brands do you install?

Quality units I can stand behind and get parts for locally — including Bradford White, AO Smith, and Rheem for tanks; Navien and Rinnai for tankless.
