buildings, done right

As a rule of thumb, once repair costs approach 30–50% of replacement cost, or a unit is past 12–15 years old and using an older refrigerant, replacement is usually the better economic choice. We provide a straightforward repair-versus-replace assessment during every service call so you can decide with real numbers, not guesswork.

Yes. Equipment replacement over a certain tonnage typically requires DOB filing, and we manage the entire permitting process — drawings, filings, and inspections — as part of the project, so you don't need a separate expediter.

LL97 sets carbon emissions limits for Brooklyn buildings over 25,000 sq ft, and older AC equipment is typically one of the largest contributors to a building's energy use. Replacing aging systems with right-sized, high-efficiency equipment directly lowers your emissions baseline, which is one of the most effective capital investments against future LL97 penalties. We factor this into every equipment recommendation.

Cost depends on tonnage, building access, ductwork condition, and whether DOB filing is required, so we always quote after an on-site load survey rather than over the phone. You'll receive one fixed, itemized proposal covering equipment, labor, permitting, and startup before any work begins — no change orders mid-project.

Straightforward rooftop swaps can often be completed in a single day once equipment is on-site, while larger multi-unit or DOB-filed projects typically run one to several weeks depending on permitting timelines and crane scheduling. We give you a realistic project timeline as part of the fixed-price proposal.
