Questions & answers
How much does it cost to install central air on Long Island?
“Most Suffolk County homeowners land between $8,000 and $22,000 before rebates, and the spread is real. Ductwork condition, system size, and efficiency tier move the number more than the brand does.”
When should I replace my air conditioner instead of repairing it?
“Two tests. If the system is 15 years or older, replacement is usually the better spend, and most central air on Long Island lasts 12 to 18 years.”
Do heat pumps work with radiators?
“Only a high-temperature air-to-water heat pump does, and yes, it works with the radiators you already have. Standard heat pumps make warm air, and older air-to-water models topped out near 120 degrees, too cool for cast iron sized for boiler water.”
How much does it cost to convert from oil heat to electric?
“It depends on whether you keep your existing radiators or move to ducted or ductless heat. Both paths are real conversions and both qualify for the PSEG Long Island heat pump rebate, a flat $4,000 to $7,500 by income tier once the heat pump becomes your primary heat.”

Is the smart thermostat really free?
“Yes. Premier plan members receive a free Ecobee smart thermostat, one per home, installed during your first tune-up visit.”
Are there federal tax credits for heat pumps in 2026?
“Honest answer: the federal 25C tax credit that used to cover up to $2,000 for heat pump installations expired on December 31, 2025. It is not available for systems installed in 2026 or later.”
How do I qualify for PSEG rebates?
“You must be a PSEG Long Island electric customer and install a qualifying heat pump system through a participating contractor. The equipment must meet minimum efficiency ratings set by PSEG, and the heat pump generally needs to replace your existing heating system as the home's primary heat source.”
What is the income limit for the $7,500 heat pump rebate?
“PSEG Long Island's 2026 low-income limit is 60% of area median income, counted as gross household income. That is $69,263 a year for a household of one, $98,925 for a household of four, and $146,409 for a household of ten.”
What is the income limit for the $5,000 moderate-income rebate?
“PSEG Long Island's 2026 moderate-income limit is 80% of area median income, counted as gross household income. That is $92,350 a year for a household of one, $131,900 for a household of four, and $195,212 for a household of ten.”
How much does AC repair cost on Long Island?
“Most everyday AC repairs on Long Island land between $150 and $600. Simple fixes like a capacitor replacement run $150-$250.”
Why is my AC running but not cooling the house?
“The most common causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, a failing compressor, or a clogged air filter restricting airflow. If your system runs constantly but the house stays warm, it usually points to a refrigerant issue or an undersized system struggling in extreme heat. A diagnostic visit will pinpoint the exact cause.”
Why is my AC blowing warm air?
“Warm air typically means the compressor is not running, the refrigerant is low, or the outdoor unit has lost power. Check your thermostat settings and circuit breaker first. If those are fine, the issue is likely a failed capacitor, contactor, or refrigerant leak. These are all common repairs that our technicians handle daily.”
How long do AC units last?
“Central air conditioning systems typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. In Suffolk County, salt air and coastal humidity can shorten equipment lifespan, especially for outdoor condensers that are not regularly cleaned. Annual maintenance extends the life of your system and keeps it running efficiently.”
How much does attic insulation cost in Suffolk County?
“Blown-in attic insulation runs roughly $1.00 to $2.80 per square foot installed, which puts a typical 1,200 square foot Long Island attic somewhere around $1,700 to $3,400 before rebates. The spread comes from material, target depth, how much air sealing the attic needs first, and whether existing insulation has to be removed.”
How much insulation should a Long Island attic have?
“Suffolk County sits in climate zone 4, and the Department of Energy recommends R-38 to R-60 for attics here. In blown fiberglass that is roughly 13 to 20 inches of settled depth, and in cellulose roughly 10 to 16 inches.”
Blown-in or batts for an attic?
“Blown-in for almost every attic we see. Batts have to be cut and fitted around every joist, wire, pipe, and brace, and any gap left behind is a hole in your insulation.”
Will new insulation stop my ice dams?
“Usually, when it is done with air sealing. Ice dams form because heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the warm part of the roof, and that water refreezes when it hits the cold overhang.”
