More about Albany
Albany’s older buildings are why the trades overlap. Row houses and two- and three-family buildings often pair a boiler with radiators that have no ductwork behind them and basement piping that has been patched more than once. Among the 186 Albany heating jobs in our records where the system type was noted, 72 percent were boilers (October 2021 to October 2026), so hot-water or steam heat is the usual case rather than the exception.
Work is done under City of Albany license #PLBG21-147, the company carries New York insurance, and permits are filed before a job starts. You get a written price after the diagnosis. If a pipe has burst or the heat is out during our Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 6pm window, the Capital Region emergency service page explains the next steps.
We work the whole city of Albany, from the oldest blocks near downtown to the newer streets on its edges. The housing changes from block to block, so each job is planned around the building in front of the crew.

Albany jobs we have completed
Representative work in the Albany neighborhoods we serve.
Albany
Albany home, plumbing: flushing an upstairs toilet made the first-floor ceiling wet, so the technician pulled and reset the toilet, opened a small section of the ceiling below to trace it, and explained that a full repair would mean opening either the bathroom floor or the ceiling.
Albany
Albany home, heating: a gas combi boiler service turned up a cracked condensate pump base that was leaking; the technician quoted and replaced the pump, cleaned and flushed the boiler with solution, flushed the domestic water side and tested the system to factory specifications.
Albany
Albany home, cooling: an AC was not working because no power reached the outdoor unit; the breaker had popped, resetting it restarted the system, and it popped again while amperage was being tested, so with an older refrigerant type the technician recommended replacing the AC system.
Albany
Albany home, drain and sewer: a bathroom kept backing up during showers and laundry, so the line was cleared at two points well down its length; the camera showed the pipe had shifted at the far mark, with a belly a few feet short of the city connection.

Questions we hear
FAQs about home service in Albany
Straight answers from the team that does the work. Still unsure? Call and a real dispatcher picks up.
Describe the symptom to dispatch and they will point you to the right crew, or use the pages yourself. Water, gas lines and water heaters are on the Albany plumber page. Boilers, furnaces and heating repairs are on Albany heating, AC is on Albany cooling, and clogs and sewer backups are on Albany drain and sewer.
Empire State Plumbing does. One licensed, family-owned company covers all four trades, which saves coordinating separate contractors in the older Albany buildings where a single repair can touch the boiler, the supply pipes and the drain line at once. Proof of license and insurance is on our licenses and insurance page.
Same-day service within business hours when the schedule allows. Calling early helps, and dispatch offers an appointment window instead of a promised arrival time, so you can pick the slot that fits your day.
Yes. A ductless mini-split cools the rooms you actually use without cutting into plaster to run ducts, and a house that already has ductwork can take conventional central air. The crew looks at the layout first and recommends one or the other. More is on AC service in Albany.
It depends on the street. Many Albany houses are on natural gas and some still burn oil or propane, so replacement work runs from gas boilers and furnaces to oil-to-gas conversions where a main passes the house. We check what is available at your address before quoting. For repairs see heating system repair.
Our plumbing license is City of Albany license #PLBG21-147, which appears on the City of Albany’s 2025 Class A plumbers list, and the company is insured in New York. We pull the permits that heating, plumbing and gas work require, and the finished job goes on record, which helps at resale.
It starts with a diagnosis. Call or book online with what is happening and the crew looks before pricing anything. Owners of two- and three-family buildings can ask about several units in one visit, and bigger jobs can be financed through Acorn Finance. The water heater cost guide explains what moves a price.
Annually, ideally before the heating season, with a cooling check before the first hot stretch. Hot-water and steam systems need different checks, and the yearly visit is part of the maintenance plan.
For a burst pipe, close the main water shutoff first, then call during our Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 6pm window so dispatch can schedule you as soon as the schedule allows. The office is closed Saturday and Sunday and we do not dispatch overnight; the emergency plumber page covers what to do until the crew arrives.
Yes. Crews work the whole city and the neighboring towns, and the service area page lists the rest of the region. If your address is right on a boundary, ask dispatch to confirm it when you call.
