Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Questions, Answered
Straight answers to what Capital Region homeowners ask us most.
Yes — most calls are handled the same day you book, Monday through Friday. Call (518) 482-4205 early in the day for the best shot at a same-day visit.
We serve all 6 counties across New York’s Capital Region — Albany, Rensselaer, Columbia, Greene, southern Saratoga and eastern Schenectady counties — from our home base in Nassau, NY.
Yes. Empire State Plumbing is fully licensed and insured (License #PLBG21-147) and has served the Capital Region since 2006.

Plumbing, drain & sewer, heating, cooling and indoor air quality — repair, replacement and installation. We also handle water-heater and HVAC replacements and oil-to-gas conversions.
We install and service most major makes of water heaters, furnaces, boilers and air conditioners, and repair most makes and models. Tell us what you have when you call (518) 482-4205 and we will confirm.
Ask any company the same four things:
- Are you licensed and insured in New York?
- Will I see a price in writing before work starts?
- Who answers the phone when I call?
- Can you schedule a visit the same day?
Here, the answers are on this page and on our licenses and insurance and why choose us pages. Same-day scheduling is Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6pm, as the schedule allows.
One company handles all of it, so you do not need a separate contractor for each system. Whether a job is finished in one visit depends on the work. A leaking faucet may be, while a boiler or central air installation usually takes planning. We will tell you what to expect when you call. See our plumbing, heating, cooling and drain and sewer services.
