Most HVAC companies don't have a plumber or an electrician. So a new furnace waits on the gas guy, a new AC waits on a new circuit, and you get three bills that don't add up.
We built it the other way. The HVAC techs are on our payroll, right next to the licensed master plumber and the electricians. A mini-split needs a tech to set it, an electrician for the circuit and somebody to patch the wall. Here that's one crew, one price and one foreman who answers his phone.
Every job starts with a free in-home visit. We look at your equipment, your ductwork, your gas line and your panel like builders — then you get an itemized price in writing on the spot. That number can't change without your signature on a written change order.
Gas furnace diagnostics, no-heat calls answered 24/7, and 95%+ efficiency replacements sized to your house instead of the old label. Repairs from $200; replacements $4.5K – $10K.
Gas, oil and steam boilers, radiators and baseboard — repaired or replaced, with the piping done by our own master plumber. Repairs from $250; new boilers $6K – $16K.
Tank, tankless and hybrid heat-pump water heaters, usually replaced the same day you call. $1.6K – $6.5K installed.
Central AC that won't start, won't cool, or keeps tripping the breaker — fixed the same day where we can. Honest repair-vs-replace math on old R-22 and R-410A systems. Repairs from $250; new systems $6.5K – $12K.
Single and multi-zone heat pumps for additions, attics, garages and the rooms the ducts never reach. Cold-climate models that heat through a Jersey January. $3.8K – $22K depending on zones.
Whole-house filtration, humidifiers, UV lights, fresh-air systems, duct cleaning and sealing. Typically $400 – $4K.
A real person answers our phone 24/7. No heat in winter, no AC in a heat wave with a baby or a grandparent in the house, a water heater dumping on the basement floor — call. In Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, Essex and Morris we're often there within the hour. Everywhere else in New Jersey you get same-day dispatch and an honest arrival window.
While you wait: no heat, close the doors to rooms you're not using and let the faucets drip so the pipes don't freeze. A leaking water heater, shut the cold-water valve on top of the tank. Our no-heat page has the full what-to-do-first list.
Repairs: a flat diagnostic visit. We find the fault, show you the part, and give you the repair price in writing before we touch it. Say yes and the diagnostic fee rolls into the repair. Say no and you've paid for an honest answer, nothing more.
Installs and replacements: we measure the house, check the gas line, the ductwork and the electrical, and price the whole job — equipment, labor, permit, disposal, cleanup. One itemized number. No "plus tax, plus permit, plus haul-away" at the bottom of the invoice.
Old equipment gets the honest math. If a furnace is 20 years old and needs a $1,200 blower, you see both numbers — repair and replace — and we tell you which one we'd pick for our own house. No deposit either way. You pay as the work gets done.
In New Jersey a furnace, boiler, water heater, AC or heat pump replacement needs a mechanical permit and an inspection from your town's construction office. Some contractors skip it to save a day. Then it shows up when you sell the house, or when the insurance adjuster starts asking questions.
We file the permit, we meet the inspector, and you get the paperwork. It's in the price.

typical fixed-price range — your exact number goes in writing after a free visit
A diagnostic visit sits at the low end. A new central AC, a 96% furnace or a five-zone mini-split system sits at the top. Every job gets its own itemized number before we start — each service page below shows its own bracket.
How we beat the big chains: HVAC franchises and utility "worry-free" plans pay for TV ads and commissioned closers before a wrench ever turns. No franchise fees, no commissioned salesmen, no rented subcontractors — that's typically 15–30% under national-brand quotes for the same or better spec. Bring us any written quote and we'll match the scope line by line.
“The AC company said I needed a whole new system. It was a $30 capacitor.”
“The furnace guy couldn't run the gas line. Another week waiting on a plumber.”
“New mini-split, but the electrician they sent never showed. It sat on the wall for a month.”

If the unit is under 12 years old and the fix is under a third of a new one, repair. If it's older than 15 and needs a big part, replace. We show you both numbers in writing and tell you which we'd pick for our own house.
