Karl's Plumbing Heating & Cooling provides full-service plumbing, heating, and HVAC to Staten Island homeowners and businesses. Our Licensed Master Plumbers — Brian Karl (DOB License #921) and Chris Deifel (DOB License #2060) — bring nearly 90 years of combined family experience to every Staten Island project. Whether you're dealing with an emergency plumbing situation, need a boiler inspection, or are planning an oil-to-gas conversion, Karl's is equipped to handle any job on the Island.
Staten Island's housing is different from the rest of New York City. More single-family homes, detached houses with yards, and suburban-style construction mean different plumbing challenges — including sump pump systems for flood-prone areas, backflow prevention devices for properties with irrigation and sprinkler systems, and older oil-fired heating systems ready for conversion to natural gas.
North Shore: St. George, Tompkinsville, Stapleton, New Brighton, West Brighton, Port Richmond, and Mariners Harbor. The North Shore includes some of Staten Island's oldest buildings alongside newer waterfront development.
Mid-Island: New Springville, Todt Hill, Dongan Hills, Grant City, Midland Beach, and Heartland Village. Todt Hill and Dongan Hills feature larger single-family homes with more complex plumbing and heating systems.
South Shore: Great Kills, Eltingville, Annadale, Huguenot, Woodrow, Rossville, Pleasant Plains, Prince's Bay, and Tottenville. Many South Shore homes are in FEMA flood zones, making sump pump maintenance and backflow prevention critical.
Many Staten Island homes still heat with oil. As fuel oil prices continue to rise and clean heating regulations tighten, converting to natural gas is one of the best investments Staten Island homeowners can make. Karl's handles the entire oil-to-gas conversion process — from permits through installation and old tank removal.
When a plumbing emergency strikes your Staten Island home or business, call Karl's at (800) 721-3200 or (718) 263-8600. We dispatch Licensed Master Plumbers to Staten Island around the clock for burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, boiler failures, and flooding emergencies.
If your home is in a flood-prone area — particularly on the South Shore, near the waterfront, or in a low-lying neighborhood — a sump pump is essential for protecting your basement from flooding. We recommend a primary sump pump with a battery backup system for power outages during storms.
Oil-to-gas conversion costs depend on your current system, gas availability, and building size. For a detailed overview, see our guide: Oil-to-Gas Conversion in NYC: Cost, Process, and What to Expect.
