Essex County
How it works
One shop, one fleet, one standard
We're not a franchise and we don't subcontract. Everything runs out of 2 John St in Haledon — dispatch, the parts room and the fleet bay — and the person at your door is a Rescue employee.
Essex is a genuine drive from Haledon and we publish the real window rather than a flattering one. Windows are typical for business hours and they stretch during a heat wave or a hard freeze, when every shop in the region is buried — including us. On emergency calls our published commitment is a 90-minute response or $50 off the job.
What we see here
Essex County housing, and what it does to the work
Every county in our territory fails in its own way. These are the patterns we see week in and week out here — not a guess about your house, which the technician still measures.
- Pre-1960 housing
- Galvanised supply corrosion Newark, East Orange and Belleville commonly still run galvanised supply lines. Slow flow, rusty water and pinhole leaks are the symptoms, and by the time one appears there are usually more behind it.
- Montclair, Maplewood
- Victorian radiator systems Ornate cast-iron radiators worth keeping. We service the boiler, the circulators and the controls without touching the radiators themselves.
- Boiler plus tank to combi
- Combination system retrofits A lot of Essex homes are looking at moving from a boiler and a separate tank to a combination unit. It suits some houses and not others, and we'll tell you which yours is.
- Ironbound, Broad Street
- Commercial on residential blocks Restaurants and storefronts sitting alongside housing. Grease lines, make-up air and rooftop units are normal work here, documented for your landlord and your insurer.
Permitted work is filed with your own municipality as part of the job, with the inspection coordinated by us. Straight repairs generally don't need a permit; equipment replacement, gas work and electrical changes usually do, and we tell you which category yours falls into before you commit to anything.

Plumbing and HVAC in Essex County: the questions we get
How fast can you get to my town in Essex County?
It depends on the town, which is why the town pages carry their own windows rather than a single county average. Call and a real person will give you an honest one for your address. Dispatch runs 24 hours, and on emergency calls our published commitment is a 90-minute response or $50 off the job.
What does a visit cost?
The diagnostic is $79. That gets a licensed technician to your door, the problem properly identified, and the repair priced in writing. Go ahead with the work and the $79 comes off the total. Decide not to, and $79 is all you pay.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. Every technician who comes to your door works for Rescue, is background-checked, and arrives in a stocked Rescue van. We're not a national franchise — the shop is in Haledon and the people in it live in this part of the state.
Are you licensed and insured?
NJ Master HVACR Contractor Licence #19HC00145700, bonded, and carrying $2M per occurrence and $4M aggregate liability cover. HVAC technicians are NATE-certified and hold EPA 608 and 609 refrigerant certification. The licence number is on every invoice and every van, and you can look it up with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs.
Do you handle permits?
Yes, on work that requires one, filed with your own municipality as part of the job rather than billed as a surprise. Equipment replacement, gas work and electrical changes generally need a permit and an inspection. We tell you which category your job falls into before you commit.
Can you come out tonight?
Yes. Water you can't stop, sewage backing up, no water at all, no heat in freezing weather and gas smells all get a van now. A dripping tap or a slow drain is a scheduled visit, and we'll tell you that honestly rather than charging overnight rates for it.
