Hollis Heating and Plumbing Services | Professional HVAC Services in Queens, NY

In Queens, we frequently handle two main issues: clogged air filters and short-cycling heating systems. A clogged filter restricts airflow, forcing your system to work harder and increasing energy bills. We replace filters and check your ductwork during a maintenance visit. Short cycling, where the system turns on and off too frequently, is often caused by an oversized unit, a faulty thermostat, or overheating. We diagnose the root cause—whether it's a simple sensor cleaning, thermostat calibration, or assessing if your system is properly sized for your home—to restore efficient, reliable operation.

It depends on the age, condition, and type of your unit. For a standard tank heater over 10-12 years old with a significant leak or repeated repairs, replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run. We can install efficient traditional or tankless water heaters. For a newer unit or a minor issue like a faulty heating element or valve, a repair is usually the best course. During our inspection, we'll assess the situation, explain your options including potential energy savings with newer models, and provide a clear recommendation so you can make an informed decision.

Yes, we emphasize preventative maintenance to help Queens homeowners avoid costly emergencies. For HVAC systems, our maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, calibrating thermostats, and inspecting electrical components to ensure efficient heating and cooling. For plumbing, we can perform inspections to check for slow leaks, test water pressure, and assess the condition of pipes and fixtures. Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your equipment, improves energy efficiency, and gives us a chance to spot small problems before they turn into major repairs or water damage.
