White-glove service

The white-glove standard

  1. A real person answers.

    When you call during our business hours, you will always get a real person, ready to discuss your needs.

  2. Fully insured.

    We send a certificate of insurance whenever your building or board asks for one.

  3. One unit or the whole building.

    The same care for a single apartment or for every unit in your building.

Installation and replacement.

Most of our work is installing new units and replacing old ones.

A wide range of repairs for most PTAC units.

We repair units that are not working as they should.

Maintenance contracts.

We offer maintenance contracts for a single apartment or for a whole building.

Preventative maintenance.

We clean and service most units at least twice a year.

Equipment

The equipment we work on

An air conditioning unit set into the wall beneath a window.

PTAC units.

Packaged terminal air conditioners: self-contained units set into an outside wall, often under a window. They cool a room, and many models heat it too.

Through-the-wall units and wall sleeves.

Air conditioners installed through an outside wall. Each one sits in a wall sleeve, the case built into the wall that holds the unit.

Water-source heat pumps.

Units that heat and cool rooms using water circulated through the building.

We sell Ice Air and Islandaire PTACs, and Habitat and Honeywell thermostats.

So you know before you call: we do not work on central air, ductwork or boilers. We also do not work on ductless mini-splits: indoor units, usually high on a wall, connected to an outdoor unit.

Thermostats

Habitat smart thermostats

“Designed and Engineered in New York”

Habitat Technologies

Habitat makes a wireless smart thermostat for units such as PTACs and water-source heat pumps. We sell Habitat thermostats and use them a lot. Habitat’s HomeLink Wi-Fi module, an add-on, lets you control the thermostat from your phone. It also adds voice control through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

No new wiring through walls.

The thermostat talks wirelessly to a small module at the unit. It can also run on batteries, so nothing has to be wired through finished walls.

Built-in leak shutoff.

If the built-in sensor detects water at the unit, the thermostat shows a warning and sounds an alarm. The unit then shuts off and stays off until the leak is cleared.

One room, one thermostat.

One thermostat can control multiple units within the same room.

Ask us whether Habitat suits your units.

Clients

Who we serve

Residents and apartment owners.

Whether you own or rent, we take care of the units in your apartment, from new installations to preventative maintenance.

General contractors.

When a renovation or a new build needs air conditioning and heating, contractors hire us for that part of the job. We work with contractors regularly, from furnished apartments to full gut renovations, and can help with whatever your project needs.

Management companies and boards.

For management companies, co-op and condo boards and building owners, we offer maintenance contracts. We are fully insured and can send certificates of insurance whenever they are requested.

“We’re large enough to handle any job that comes our way but small enough to maintain that personal touch.”
