We repair and install central air, ductless mini-splits and through-the-wall systems. Ductless systems are especially popular in Forest Hills and Rego Park apartments and older houses without ductwork.
Many ductless systems double as heat pumps, so the same unit can replace an old 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 the new equipment
How to prevent problems
- Clean or replace filters every 1–3 months during 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
