Nutley

The name Nutley was derived from the estate of the Satterthwaite family, established in 1844, an estate that stretched along the Passaic River. Nutley was incorporated as a township with its formal name, “Franklin Township”, by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 18, 1874.

The New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Nutley as its 38th best place to live in its 2008 rankings of the “Best Places To Live” in New Jersey. While 38 might not seem very high up on the list, out of 100, it’s not bad!

If you are based in Nutley and require heating services for your home or workplace, Eco Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning are here to help. Our services cover a wide range of essential heating services, from thermostat installations, repairs, rooftop heating systems, boiler repair and installation to radiant heating systems, amongst many others.

Baseboard Heating Systems

We cover both hydronic and electric baseboard heating system installations and repairs. Baseboard heaters tend to be backup heating systems, due to the amount of electricity they require to operate. Baseboard systems are very easy to install and make little to no noise. They are effective heating systems and have an impressive life expectancy of about 20 years.

Hydronic baseboard heaters work by circulating heated water or oil from a boiler to the baseboard heater. The fluid, whether water or oil, is then heated by electrical currents, which warm it within the baseboard unit.

Electric baseboard heaters, on the other hand, work by drawing in the surrounding cool air over heated metal fins. The warm air is then radiated back into the room. The process starts over again allowing a constant flow of warm air, this process is known as convection.

Both electric and hydronic heaters are efficient during the colder seasons. Speaking of colder seasons, we also handle frozen pipes, a service that needs to be attended to as soon as possible to avoid serious complications to plumbing systems, or even property damage.

Rooftop Heating Systems

Rooftop heaters are another option available at Eco Plumbing, whether you need an installation, repair, or replacement, we pride ourselves on our knowledge and success when it comes to rooftop heating system repairs.

The benefits of owning a rooftop heating system include:

They are long-lasting – Rooftop heating systems are more efficient than indoor models and can work for between ten and twenty years, when maintained properly.

Quiet to run – another perk of using this heating system is the fact that since they’re on the roof, you do not have to worry about them making any noise while running.

Work well with all types of building – although rooftop heating systems are mostly seen in commercial buildings, they also work well with residential buildings.

They are weatherproof –  rooftop heating systems are designed to be weatherproof, preventing rain, snow, debris, and even animals from getting in, allowing only air to pass through.

So if you’re looking to change up your heating system with an installation or simply get your current system repaired, our trained technicians will be glad to help, just give us a call.

Radiant Heating Installation, Repair, and Servicing

Radiant heating systems are another heating option for residential and commercial buildings and we handle their installation, replacement, repair, and servicing.

Radiant heating systems work by supplying heat directly to the floor or panels in either the ceilings or walls. When the floors are heated, it is usually known as radiant floor heating, although radiant floor heating and radiant panels in walls and ceilings operate very differently.

Despite its name, radiant floor heating relies mainly on the convection process, which involves a natural circulation of heat within a room as air warmed by the floor rises.

Radiant heating systems are a popular choice for people with allergies because they don’t spread allergens. Just like baseboard heating systems, radiant heating systems can be separated into two different categories, electric and hydronic (liquid-based).

Electric radiant heating involves electricity passing through the panels beneath the walls and ceilings, and releasing heat as a result of high resistance. This method is an efficient heating solution and requires the least maintenance but due to the amount of electricity required for its operation, becomes more expensive, especially in places where electricity prices are high.

Hydronic radiant heating, on the other hand, avoids the electricity costs as it operates on a wide range of energy sources including gas- or oil-fired boilers, wood-fired boilers, solar water heaters, or a combination of two. Maintaining hydronic systems might be more strenuous than electric radiant heating systems but they both need to be serviced once in a while to keep functioning properly and that’s why our contractors are here.

FAQ

Does my radiant floor heating system need a repair?

There are a few ways to tell if your radiant heating system needs a repair. The most obvious is if it is not heating up your home sufficiently. This could be due to other factors, such as too many things being on the floor, or perhaps it simply hasn’t been on long enough as it can take up to an hour to heat larger spaces.

Another to watch out for is that your flooring has been damaged or there is a leak. These systems are complex to fix, so make sure to give us a call at the first sign of trouble.

When should I get my rooftop heating system replaced?

These units are often used by large businesses as they save space (being on the roof) and are able to efficiently heat larger buildings and spaces.

The thing is, if they are left longer than the recommended amount of time (15-20 years) without a replacement, they may well be costing you money, as they naturally will not work as well over time.

So make sure to have your rooftop heating system checked over annually, to ensure you’re getting the most out of your heating system.
