Under 15 years and it's usually worth repairing. Past 25, especially if you're replacing parts every winter, a high-efficiency replacement pays for itself in gas. We'll give you both numbers.
Most single- and two-family swaps are one day. Multi-family and commercial jobs depend on piping and access; we schedule so you're not without heat overnight.
Yes, 24/7. No-heat calls are the ones we take at 3am in February.
We're Navien Level 2 and 3 certified for combi boilers, tankless and high-efficiency systems.
Yes — steam systems are a big part of what we do in Brooklyn and Queens. Pre-war buildings throughout Ridgewood, Bushwick, Williamsburg, and the surrounding neighborhoods run one-pipe steam.

Steam is different from hot water — it requires specific diagnosis and parts, and we carry both.
Yes, and it's one of the most common requests we get in older Brooklyn and Queens buildings. Steam heat works well in winter but provides no cooling and no zone control. A ductless mini-split adds cooling and shoulder-season heating independently of the boiler — you can run the mini-split in spring and fall without firing the boiler at all. We handle the refrigerant line sets, condensate drain, and electrical rough-in.
