The first air conditioning systems to come into widespread use in homes were window ACs, which were invented in the 2012 . Although central air units existed, they were mostly found in industrial and commercial buildings. But as homes started to build ventilation systems with ductwork and the cost of ACs lowered, the central air conditioner became the new normal for residential cooling.
You probably have a central AC system serving your household’s summer comfort needs—or else you’re planning to have one installed. The contractor in Hudson Yards - New York to trust with your central air units is Hitech Central Air Inc We’re a family-owned and operated company focused on customer service and the best quality work. We offer free estimates, emergency service, and back up our work with guarantees.
The standard central air conditioner is known as a split system because of its layout: an outdoor unit (the condenser) where the refrigerant is compressed and heat released, and an indoor unit (the evaporator) where heat is removed from the air and the blower in an air handler sends the conditioned air through the ductwork to the rooms.
Central air units improve on window units in numerous ways. It only takes a single system to provide cooling all around the house, and most of the noisy components are stored outdoors. They don’t block up windows and they perform at much higher energy efficiency levels. The central AC has become the standard for residential living for good reason.
If you’re one of the many homeowners who enjoys central cooling, you want to ensure your air conditioner has a long lifespan. An early replacement is one of the costliest services you may need! To ensure you receive the best from your central AC, keep our number handy. We provide repair work, any time of the day or night. Never hesitate to call when you suspect your central air unit is acting up, because the quicker the trouble is fixed, the easier and smaller it will usually be.
We strongly recommend our customers sign up for annual maintenance for their cooling systems. There is no better way to prolong an air conditioner’s service life, protect its energy efficiency, and reduce the amount of repairs it needs than with a spring maintenance tune–up and inspection.
Not all contractors believe in the power of routine maintenance—but it’s vital to us. Providing maintenance is part of our dedication to customer satisfaction and working as more than tradesmen.

Ductless heating and cooling systems are also known as ductless mini split heat pumps. Unlike the standard split system heat pump, which has a single outdoor unit and indoor unit, a ductless mini split uses multiple smaller indoor units. These small air handlers with refrigerant coils are mounted on the walls of rooms around the house, and each can send heated and cooled air directly into the room. It’s like a window AC unit, but with none of the drawbacks. Because ductless mini splits are usually heat pumps, a single installation takes care of winter warming and summer cooling.
Why arrange for a ductless heating and cooling system rather than a more traditional heater or AC? Ductless mini splits have some benefits for you to consider:
At Hitech Central Air Inc , we’re dedicated to providing the finest all–around service for home comfort. That means we advocate regular maintenance for ductless mini splits so they work at their best year after year.

Most homes have ducts contained in the walls, ceilings, and in closed-off spots of the house. Without ducts, a central heating and air system cannot run. But homeowners rarely give much consideration to this vital part of their HVAC systems, which makes sense because they cannot see most of it. Bad ductwork—damaged, leaking, or poorly installed—can create numerous problems for any HVAC system, however. It requires professionals to handle any necessary repairs or replacements.
Hitech Central Air Inc offers full services to fix and install new ducts in homes in Hudson Yards - New York and the surrounding areas. We have technicians with NATE-certification, and you can trust to them 24/7 for whatever help you need. We back up our work with guarantees and offer free estimates as well.
"What can go so wrong if my ducts have some leaks?" Homeowners often ask this question and related ones. We can answer it easily: plenty can go wrong. You’d like more details, of course:
Have you ever heard of this tool called duct tape? Okay, now forget about duct tape. It’s misnamed and not useful for doing duct repairs of any kind because temperature changes rapidly turn it brittle and weaken its adhesive. Repairs for ducts must come from a skilled professional who has the right tools, such as duct testing equipment, manometers, mastic sealant, and metallic tapes. When you suspect bad ducts lurking behind your HVAC and air quality troubles, call only experts for repairs.
You may only need to have a few small leaks in your ducts sealed up. Or you may need whole sections of ducts removed and replaced with new ones. No matter the extent of the work necessary for your home’s ventilation system, Hitech Central Air Inc is the contractor who can handle the assignment.

When searching for an HVAC contractor for heating service in Hudson Yards - New York or elsewhere in the Hudson Yards - New York , you might be dismayed to discover that not all of them work with boiler systems.

We are strong proponents of routine maintenance programs—something not all HVAC contractors are. We want our customers to enjoy all the benefits of a boiler listed above, and that requires regular maintenance service. Not only is maintenance good for the boiler, it’s good for allowing us to get to know a customer’s heating equipment so we can provide the best service on every job.
Maintenance can’t prevent all repair needs, however. When you have a boiler that isn’t operating as it should (or isn’t running at all), call on one of our repair experts. All our technicians arrive in fully–stocked trucks to take care of problems right the first time.

No heating system serves more homes than the furnace. Any HVAC company worth hiring knows gas furnaces and electric furnaces inside and out, top to bottom. This includes new installations, replacements, repairs, and maintenance.

Furnaces in homes usually run from either gas or electricity. The one that matches your house depends on several factors, but here are a few facts two to help you with making a choice:
If you’re on the fence about the type of furnace to install, remember you need professionals to handle the actual job. Call our experts early on so they can assist you with making the best possible system choice.
And we do mean need. You never want to attempt repairs on a malfunctioning furnace on your own. In the case of a gas furnace, it’s usually illegal for anyone lacking certification to work on one because of the potential for gas leaks and combustion hazards. But even with an electric furnace, it takes trained technician to see repairs are done accurately.
This also goes for maintenance, which is a job we strongly recommend all customers schedule each year. Not all contractors promote maintenance, but we do because we know the big difference it can make in furnace performance and longevity. It also keeps gas furnaces running at their safest level possible.
What is a dual fuel system? It’s a type of heat pump, or dual fuel heat pump, that has a backup furnace. Heat pumps are good choices for year–round comfort, but they can also run into efficiency troubles during extremely cold weather. With a hybrid heat dual fuel system, the backup furnace (usually running on propane) turns on whenever the heat pump option loses efficiency. The furnace runs for as long as necessary and the shuts off. We can help you decide if a dual fuel heat pump matches your home’s comfort needs.
If you have any questions about furnace services or wish to schedule them in Hudson Yards - New York , you can reach Hitech Central Air Inc 24/7 for help.
The heat pump is a two-in-one comfort system. During the hot weather, a heat pump works as a powerful air conditioner. When the cold weather of winter arrives, it works as an efficient heater. Thanks to advances in HVAC technology, heat pumps have become more viable for home comfort, and many households in Hudson Yards - New York , have discovered the benefits of a heat pump installation.
If you’re curious about using a heat pump system for your year-round comfort, talk to Hitech Central Air Inc We offer heat pump maintenance, installation, and repairs. We also offer hybrid heat dual fuel system services—combinations of furnaces and heat pumps. For free estimates and to schedule service, call us today.
A heat pump works on a basic principle: an air conditioning system capable of operating in reverse, so instead of moving heat from the inside of a house to the outside, it brings heat from the outside to the inside. Using a component called the reversing valve, a heat pump can switch the direction in which refrigerant circulates through the coils, and this switches the system between heating and cooling modes.
If you have a professional heat pump installation, you’ll not only enjoy comfort all year, you’ll save money on your heating costs compared to an electric furnace. A heat pump only consumes electricity to move heat, not generate it, and this makes a heat pump three to four times more energy efficient than other electric heaters.
You may have noticed in the above description that a heat pump works in heating mode by drawing heat from the air outside. How can it do this when the air outside is cold (because you won’t be running the heat pump in heating mode on a hot day)?
The answer is there is always some heat available, no matter the low temperature. However, a heat pump system can lose efficiency in extreme cold conditions. This is where using a dual fuel heat pump (aka a hybrid heat pump or hybrid dual fuel system) comes in. A hybrid heat pump has a backup furnace, which usually runs on propane, to step in and take up the slack when the heap pump starts to lose efficiency. Our technicians can help you decide if a dual fuel system is a good match for your house.
We take pride in the work we do at Hitech Central Air Inc , so it’s not enough for us to ensure a home has a quality heat pump installation. We want to provide the heat pump maintenance to see it performs at peak condition for year after year, for many years to come. When it’s time for heat pump repairs—and maintenance can’t prevent them all—you can summon us 24 hours a day to help. Our technicians are NATE–certified and empowered to do what’s right for the customer on each job.
