H1: Heating and cooling repair in Washington Heights

Washington Heights is where this company started: Dennis Marchetti spent fourteen years as a live-in super in a prewar co-op here, learning steam heat one knocking radiator at a time. The neighborhood's stock is prewar co-ops and rentals on the avenues, smaller buildings on the side streets, and a growing share of condo conversions, all heated by steam and cooled through sleeves and windows.

What breaks here

The full prewar catalog: boilers that lose their water line, traps that pass steam into returns and hammer the pipes awake at 3 a.m., vents painted shut decades ago. Cooling is through-wall and window country, with mini-splits arriving building by building.

Access notes

Many buildings here still run on a resident super's knowledge, and the super is the first introduction that matters. Owners of the Heights' small multifamily buildings form a large share of our longest-running rounds; their boiler rooms get fall visits before the first cold snap by long habit.
