About Us

We believe that the heating system is the heart of your home. And everybody needs an excellent heating contractor just like they need an excellent doctor. One who stays current with best practices, products and specialized tools for the diagnostics and repair of the equipment being installed or serviced.

Although we fall into the category of Plumbing and Heating, we are specialists in tankless water heating and high-efficiency heating systems. Our product line stays very focused on Bosch and York equipment. It is hard to stock parts for every unit out there, but we stock most parts for Bosch and Buderus ( the world's oldest and largest heating manufacturer owned by Bosch) boilers and Bosch tankless water heaters.

When other people can't figure it out, Totally Tankless is certain to.

How We Got Started

After attending the first training in America for tankless water heaters, I felt there was a real demand that would be coming soon for them. We chose to get trained on every manufacturers system. After working on several units, we decided to focus on the Bosch product line. We are the only specialists in tankless technology in the Greater Hudson Valley Region.

Always approach as you will rent it.  Rentals produce long term income with lower taxation than the capital gain of flipping. (more) Always approach as you will rent it.  Rentals produce long term income with lower taxation than the capital gain of flipping.

We had a home show company advertise this year they were charging an entry fee.  Previous events with the same company were free admission (vendors pay $1,300 for a 10 x 10 booth for 3 days).  The event did only about a quarter of previous year's attendance.  We communicated with the company and will do the event again as we have a posture of BE SEEN.  We already heard about others not attending in the future.  We all do advertising and sometimes it is the one and only person that comes to speak with you that makes the event worth the investment.  Please remember, not every event is a winner.  But choosing not to be seen guarantees you will not prosper. My final thought is hire a company that can help train for events so you can get the most from your investment.  We did this the first year and we were one of the busiest booths at the above mentioned home show for the last 7 years straight. CHIN UP, GET TO WORK AND MAKE YOUR NEXT EVENT AMAZING.

I tell my friends to get the book "Start Your Own Corporation" by Garrett Sutton. It breaks down good and bad business entities as well  as the benefits and risks associated with each.  It is a very good and insightful book.
