Built in Queens, for Queens
Forest Hills Emergency Plumber Heating and Cooling started with a simple goal: give homeowners, renters and building managers in Forest Hills a plumbing and HVAC team they can actually reach when something goes wrong. No hourly meters, no upselling, and no waiting days for a callback.
Our technicians know the housing stock of central Queens — the steam boilers in prewar co-ops, the original cast-iron drains in Forest Hills Gardens homes, and the high-rise risers along Queens Boulevard. That local knowledge means faster diagnoses and repairs done right the first time.

What we know about Queens buildings
Much of central Queens was built between the 1910s and 1960s, so we work on steam and hot-water boilers, cast-iron and clay drain lines, and galvanized supply pipes every week, alongside modern tankless water heaters, ductless mini-splits and heat pumps. We also know the local rules: NYC HPD heat rules apply from October 1 to May 31. Between 6 AM and 10 PM, when it is below 55°F outside, apartments must be at least 68°F inside; between 10 PM and 6 AM they must be at least 62°F regardless of the outdoor temperature. Under NYC HPD rules, building owners must supply hot water 365 days a year at a constant minimum of 120°F.
