very knowledgable, inexpensive, no tax if delivered to NY.
heat or a/c?
"Make up your mind, dude, is he gonna shit or is he gonna kill us?"
"First he's gonna shit, then he's gonna kill us...."
"Relax, all right? My old man is an a/c repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it."
Buildings typically restrict you on what you can replace your pre-existing unit with.
We raplaced six units, up-sizing capacity for all six units for better a/c - think the total wase about $6,000. DId it using the company that services the building heat/ac - made life a lot easier because they knew the building systems, bu;ilding knew them.
I replaced two units in my late 80s building, also up-sizing the capacity. The cost was approximately $1,600 per unit arranged through the building A/C service company identified by the super and managing agent. I researched to see if there was a cheaper alternate with no success. I must admit it seems expensive compared to the cost of two large A/C window units from PC Richards. A friend in a 1960s condo had an even higher per unit expense. Welcome to NYC.
Islandaire and ilk seem to have monopoly on the 60s/70s era in-wall units. P09: these units are primarily A/C but also have a heat pump.
23: I was just joking. In a good mood, week is mostly over. into my second tini. Going out for dinner in LES with my favorite girl (wife). No complaints....favorite joke about martinis. You know what martinis and boobs have in common??? one is not enough but 3 is way too many. Good night all...peace..I'm out.

a) $1500 +/- is the market number right now, but you should almost universally use the building's people, because in the odd case something odd goes wrong, the building is going to blame you for using some "fly by night" company, even if they are better than the building's one.
