Union 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.
Union calls route from our Kenilworth office. Call and a real dispatcher will give you an honest window for your address rather than a number that sounds good. 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
Union 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.
- Elizabeth, Plainfield, Roselle
- Pre-war cast-iron stacks We camera and hydro-jet first and replace only the sections that actually need it. A backup is a reason to look, not a reason to quote a replacement.
- Elizabeth, Hillside, Summit
- Steam and hydronic boilers Older housing here still runs steam and hot water. We service Weil-McLain, Burnham and Peerless, and balance the whole system rather than chasing one cold radiator.
- Linden, Roselle Park, Kenilworth
- Aging post-war furnaces Capes and ranches with undersized returns and twenty-year-old furnaces. Prime candidates for a right-sized high-efficiency replacement, quoted after a load calculation rather than off the old nameplate.
- Scale in tanks
- Hard water Union County water runs hard. Tank water heaters lose efficiency without a regular flush, and descaling is part of annual maintenance.
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 Union County: the questions we get
How fast can you get to my town in Union 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.
