Top 7 HVAC companies in Queens, New York

Queens holds 2,253,858 residents and sits in IECC zone 5A, a heating-dominant mixed climate. Public records supplied the seven contractors below; ranking follows a Bayesian adjustment that pulls every raw star rating toward the national mean of 4.764. Companies with fewer than roughly 30 reviews move the most.

The shortlist

Premier HVAC Queens

Premier HVAC Queens operates from 108-36 52nd Ave, Corona, NY 11368 as a general contractor that lists 24/7 availability and maintains a public website. Its 34 reviews produced a raw 5 rating that the adjustment lowered to 4.949, a 0.215-point drop caused by the modest review count still being short of full statistical independence. The phone number is (718) 550-8478. These figures cannot reveal whether every job met code or finished on schedule.

Mastertech Heating & Cooling Corp

Mastertech Heating & Cooling Corp lists its address as 139-27 Queens Blvd 1st floor, Jamaica, NY 11435 and its phone as (516) 203-7489. The general-contractor entry shows 26 reviews at a raw 5 that adjusted to 4.934, pulled 0.17 points toward 4.764 by the same limited review volume. Published 24/7 availability appears on the listing. The numbers leave open the question of how the firm handles equipment not listed in its public profile.

Weather Makers Queens | Mini split & Ducted Unit Experts

Weather Makers Queens | Mini split & Ducted Unit Experts can be reached at (516) 853-4535 and lists 109-03 Rockaway Blvd, South Ozone Park, NY 11420. Its 20 reviews at raw 5 adjusted downward to 4.918, a 0.154-point shift reflecting the still-small sample size. The general-contractor listing also notes 24/7 service and a website. Nothing in the rating itself indicates performance on steam or hydronic retrofits common in the borough.

Alliance Residential Services Inc.

Alliance Residential Services Inc. sits at 34-10 56th St, Woodside, NY 11377 and answers at (718) 550-2824. Forty-four reviews produced a raw 4.9 that adjusted to 4.885, only 0.121 points lower than raw because the larger count already anchored the score closer to the national mean. The Services category listing does not advertise 24/7 hours. The data set supplies no detail on backlog length or crew size.

Near Me HVAC Services of Queens

Near Me HVAC Services of Queens operates from 35-37 32nd St, Astoria, NY 11106 with phone (347) 757-4941. Sixteen reviews at raw 4.9 adjusted to 4.851, a 0.087-point movement that still reflects the small sample pulling the score toward 4.764. The general-contractor listing carries a website but no 24/7 flag. The rating cannot speak to whether the firm carries the specific insurance NYC DOB requires for oil-burner work.

Pro HVAC Queens

Pro HVAC Queens lists 104-01 Roosevelt Ave Unit 126, Corona, NY 11368 and the number (363) 216-1192. Three reviews at raw 5 adjusted sharply downward to 4.845, a 0.081-point change driven almost entirely by the tiny review count. The general-contractor entry advertises both a website and 24/7 availability. Such a small sample leaves open whether the rating will hold once more jobs are recorded.

Waylon HVAC - Split Unit Air Conditioning Installation and Repair Service NYC

Waylon HVAC - Split Unit Air Conditioning Installation and Repair Service NYC lists 18-26 41st St, Astoria, NY 11105 and the phone (347) 837-5286. Nineteen reviews produced a raw 4.3 that adjusted to 4.584, lifted 0.284 points toward the national mean because the rating sat below 4.764. No website or 24/7 flag appears. The adjustment cannot substitute for direct reference checks on recent projects.

How to choose

A shortlist built from public listing data is not a review of work performed. Compare review counts first, then examine whether the firm’s category and availability match the job scope. Confirm the contractor participates in NYS Clean Heat before requesting any rebate-eligible heat-pump quote, because the incentive pays through the contractor.

Cost

Installed-cost data for Queens shows one source placing a typical full system between $11,200 and $13,700 while a second source records an invoiced average of $15,721, with the upper quartile reaching $22,000. Labor runs $160 per hour. Permit fees range from $200 to $700. The two cost sources disagree on the central tendency, which itself signals market variability tied to equipment type and building access. Both figures sit in the high tier relative to national averages. Homeowners should request itemized quotes that separate equipment, labor and permit costs rather than relying on any single published range.

Climate

Queens falls in IECC zone 5A with 5,700 heating degree days and only 900 cooling degree days, producing a heating-leaning mixed load profile. Winter design temperature is 15 °F and summer design reaches 91 °F under humid conditions. The primary heating fuels remain natural gas and fuel oil, and the market contains a large stock of steam and hydronic systems. Equipment therefore needs cold-climate heat-pump capacity or robust backup, and sizing calculations must account for the heating-dominant annual load rather than cooling alone. Peak service demand occurs in winter.

Licensing and permits

New York maintains no statewide HVAC contractor licensing board. Authority rests with local jurisdictions such as the New York City Department of Buildings. No dedicated statewide HVAC license class exists; NYC requires a DOB Oil Burner Equipment Installer license only for oil-fired equipment and, in some cases, a High-Pressure Boiler Operating Engineer or Special Rigger license. Insurance requirements vary by license class and jurisdiction; no uniform statewide minimum applies. Permits are issued locally and are required for most replacements. The appropriate verification step is to consult the DOB lookup at the supplied URL for any contractor under consideration.

Incentives

NYS Clean Heat and EmPower+ remain the active state programs, with heat-pump rebates up to $8,000 through HEAR and as high as $10,000 for income-eligible households under EmPower+. The state tax credit covers only solar equipment. Federal 25C and 25D credits expired at the end of 2025; no residential federal HVAC tax credit operates in 2026. Because NYS Clean Heat pays the rebate through a participating contractor, any installer outside that network renders the incentive unavailable regardless of equipment chosen. Homeowners should therefore limit conversations to contractors already enrolled in the utility program.
