We repair and install central air, ductless mini-splits and through-the-wall units. Ductless systems are a natural fit for the prewar apartments of Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, and for older houses that were never built with ductwork.
Many ductless systems double as heat pumps, so one unit can replace an aging furnace or supplement a steam or hot-water boiler. Ask about pairing a mini-split install with a heating upgrade.

What affects the cost of AC repair?
Every job gets a flat, written price after diagnosis. These are the main factors that move that price:
- The failed part — capacitor, fan motor, compressor or refrigerant leak
- System type: central, ductless mini-split or through-the-wall
- For new systems: the number of rooms (zones) and line-set length
- Electrical upgrades needed for new equipment
How to prevent problems
- Clean or replace filters every 1–3 months in cooling season
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and debris
- Have the system serviced every spring before the first heatwave
- Keep condensate drains clear to prevent leaks
