Common parts — 1–4 business days. Specialty / backordered items (especially premium brands or older HVAC platforms) can take longer. We keep you updated.

Depends on brand and warranty terms. Some require authorized service. If your unit is still under factory warranty, tell us — we’ll advise what must go through the manufacturer.

Quick checks: power (breaker / outlet), settings, water supply (no kinks), obvious airflow blocks, filters, error codes (photo!). For AC — note any water puddles and turn system off if leaking.

Clear access around the unit, locate model/serial tags, move fragile items. For AC — ensure access to indoor unit, thermostat, outdoor condenser (if possible). Mention building access rules (COI, elevator booking) in advance.

Model + serial number, photo of error code / display, exact symptom (“leaking front left”, “no cool air”, “won’t drain”), installation notes (built-in, stacked, closet access, rooftop unit, etc.).

Diagnostics: 30–90 minutes depending on access and complexity. Many repairs finish same day if parts are in stock; others need follow-up visit.

Often yes — especially in tight NYC kitchens / closets. We explain steps and protect floors / cabinets.
What happens after the repair is completed?
You receive documented what-was-fixed summary, post-repair test results (temps, airflow, cycle, drain check). We point out preventable issues (filters, loading, drainage) to avoid repeats.
