Air conditioning can make a big difference in the Long Island City summertime heat!

(PTAC Experts) can keep your home air in proper working order with certified Long Island City central AC repair.

You may want to replace your AC if:
If it’s time to replace your AC system, our technicians can take care of all the details.
Many of our customers opt for our worry-free service agreements to keep their central air conditioning in tip-top shape. We recommend a pre-season tune-up for your cooling system, which includes checking the compressor, refrigerant, air handler, and electrical components. We’ll turn your central air on and make sure everything is running properly before summer arrives. If you home cooling comes from a mini-split system, our experienced technicians can inspect, clean, and ensure your ductless units are set to cool!
When it’s time to replace your old central air conditioner, the cooling professionals at Hitech Central Air Inc. (PTAC Experts) are the perfect choice! Our trained and certified Long Island City AC installation technicians have the qualifications to ensure the right size and configuration AC unit is installed in your home.

Most central air conditioning consists of an outside compressor or heat pump unit and the inside air handler and ductwork. We are often able to utilize your home’s existing ductwork when replacing central air conditioning, which can save time and money. We’ll check the ductwork to ensure it is well-sealed — another efficiency measure that is a smart investment. Our Long Island City AC installation team provides no-risk, free estimate and attractive financing options take the worry out of installing central air.
Just like the miles-per-gallon ratings vary on automobiles, air conditioners have efficiency ratings that take the guesswork out of selecting high-efficiency cooling for the best price. ENERGY STAR® offers ratings on AC units based on a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER), which indicates the estimated amount of energy required to cool your home. The higher the SEER number, the more efficient the air conditioning unit is. Older AC units have SEER ratings of 6 or less, but Carrier air conditioning units have SEER ratings in the 13-16 SEER range. What’s best for your Long Island City home? We’ll walk you through your Long Island City AC installation options.
Because your home is cooled (and heated) using a system of ducts, air handlers, an air conditioner, and furnace, it often makes sense to replace old fan motors and ductwork and to address home air leakage to ensure that your new high-efficiency central air conditioner works the way it’s supposed to.
When replacing central ACs, it is important your home’s ductwork, insulation, and exterior envelope are supporting your efficient AC unit. If needed, air sealing, duct sealing, and improved insulation can maximize your new air conditioner for a relatively small investment. Ask us about New York State and PSEG Long Island City rebates for home efficiency improvements.
A new central cooling system will often tie into your existing forced air heating system, with some additional return ducts. If your heating system does not have ductwork, it may make sense to install a ductless mini-split system, especially if there’s not enough space to retrofit ductwork.
Our Long Island City AC installation experts can assess your home and your existing system to determine what makes the most sense for your family. With our reliable recommendations, you can rest assured that you are getting the best AC that meets your needs.

Throughout Long Island City , we’ve seen the growing popularity in efficient, easy-to-use mini-split systems. Like any appliance, these ductless heat pumps need regular maintenance and sometimes repair. Hitech Central Air Inc. (PTAC Experts) is your mini-split maintenance and repair resource!
Like any heating and air conditioning system, mini-split ductless systems need routine maintenance and cleaning.

During a maintenance appointment, we will check the:
If your ductless air conditioning or heating isn’t responding the way it should, it may be time for a service call.
It may be time to set up an appointment if your mini-split shows symptoms such as:
Mini-split heat pumps are a great solution for many homeowners in the region. They’re highly efficient, quiet, and easy to install since bulky ductwork isn’t required. They’re a sensible retrofit for bonus rooms, remote bedrooms, workrooms, and mother-in-law apartments. New technology and remote control operation make these a great choice for everyone! At Hitech Central Air Inc. (PTAC Experts), our Long Island City mini-split installation experts can help you select and install the system best suited for your family’s needs. We pay close attention to detail to ensure that your unit is installed impeccably.
Mini-splits are literally split between two units: A heat pump is installed on the exterior of your home and connected by suction tubing, refrigerant tubing, and a condensate drain to one or more sleek indoor air handlers. Air handlers are generally installed high on the wall so that they are not intrusive. Mini-splits provide cool air in the summer and heat in the winter to single rooms or small areas in the home.
Ductless mini-split systems use very little electricity to operate efficiently and effectively. Mitsubishi ductless heat pumps use variable fan technology, so it’s simple to maintain a consistent temperature. Their low energy consumption make mini-splits a great alternative to old-fashioned window air conditioners and space heaters. If you’re considering adding solar panels, ductless heat pumps pair well with solar energy, too!
With easy-to-understand electronic remotes, mini-split systems offer custom settings to control fan speed, direction, heating, cooling, fan only, moisture removal, and oscillating vanes to distribute conditioned air throughout the area. Just set the temperature on your mini-split and the variable speed technology maintains a constant temperature.
Because there’s no ductwork, a mini-split installation is generally completed in a day or two depending on the characteristics of your home. The outside unit is mounted on brackets and connected to the indoor unit using small-diameter conduit. The penetration through the wall is small enough to accommodate tubing and wiring to connect the operation of the indoor and outdoor units.
The Long Island City AC installation experts at Hitech Central Air Inc. (PTAC Experts) will recommend the optimal locations for both units to ensure proper soundproofing and efficiency. Our team will also help you select the Mitsubishi, Carrier, or Samsung unit that is right for your home, your needs, and your budget.
