Fordham Window and Through-Wall AC Service
Window units and through-the-wall ACs do the heavy lifting in Fordham's apartments, and they get treated as disposable. They are not. A quality unit that gets cleaned and serviced lasts a decade or more, and repairing a good unit usually beats buying a cheap new one that will die in three summers. We repair, service, install, and replace them all.
Common repairs we handle: units that run but do not cool, usually dirty coils or low refrigerant; fan motors that squeal or seize; units that trip the breaker; thermostats and control boards that stop responding; and drainage problems that drip inside the apartment instead of outside. We service units in place when possible and bench-repair when a deeper fix is needed.
Through-wall sleeves deserve special attention in older Bronx buildings. Decades-old metal sleeves rust, sag, and let water and outside air pour in around the unit. We replace sleeves, correctly pitch them so rain drains outside, and seal the gaps that leak your cold air out and street noise in. Your electric bill notices the difference.
For window units, safe and legal installation matters more than people think. New York requires window ACs to be properly secured, and a unit resting on hope above a sidewalk is a lawsuit waiting to happen. We install with proper brackets and side panels, and we offer seasonal service: install in spring, remove and store-prep in fall, gaining your window back for the winter.

Common Questions
Is it worth repairing a window AC?
If it is a quality unit under 8 years old and the fix is a fan motor, thermostat, or cleaning, yes. If the compressor is gone or the coils are corroded through, we will tell you to put the money toward a new unit instead.
Can you replace my through-wall unit with the same size?
Usually yes. Through-wall units come in standard sleeve sizes, and we match the replacement to your existing sleeve or replace the sleeve if it is rusted out. You get a unit that fits right, not a gap stuffed with foam.
Do you install brackets for window units?
Yes. Proper bracket installation is included with every window unit we install, and we retrofit brackets on units that were installed without them. It protects the people below your window and keeps you compliant with city rules.
