HVAC Contractors in Brooklyn, NY

Each HVAC contractor listed on this page has an active license number on file in the ServHom database. ServHom does not independently re-verify or re-check licenses in real time, so it is a good idea to confirm the license directly with the issuing agency, such as NYC DCWP or NYC DOB, before hiring.

Costs vary widely depending on the job. A simple seasonal tune-up is on the lower end, while a full central AC or boiler installation can be significantly more expensive. Factors that change the price include system size and type, whether refrigerant or gas work is involved, ductwork or electrical changes, and whether it is an emergency or scheduled visit.

Ask about EPA Section 608 certification for any refrigerant work, and confirm whether the quote covers required permits. Ask the contractor to explain the recommended system size rather than just giving a price, and request a comparison of repair-versus-replace options if your equipment is older.

It depends on the age and condition of your system, the cost of the repair, and how much longer the equipment is expected to last. A good contractor should walk you through both options so you can compare the short-term repair cost against the long-term value of a new, more efficient system.

ServHom orders providers using a money-blind ranking that considers license records, contact data, profile completeness, and an overall ranking score. Businesses cannot pay to rank higher on this page.

The $5000 rule is a common guideline that suggests if the cost of repairing your HVAC system is more than $5,000 or more than half the cost of a full replacement, it usually makes more financial sense to replace the system rather than repair it. Your specific situation may vary, so get a detailed quote before deciding.

Replacement costs in NYC vary significantly based on the type and size of the system, whether ductwork or electrical changes are needed, and permit requirements. A straightforward swap-out is on the lower end, while a full system upgrade with new ductwork and permits will cost more. Getting multiple quotes is the best way to understand the range for your specific home.

The 20 rule is a general guideline that suggests replacing your HVAC system if it is more than 20 years old or if repair costs would exceed 20 percent of the system's replacement value. It is meant as a rough benchmark, so discuss your specific equipment and repair estimate with a qualified contractor.
