AC Repair in New Brunswick, NJ

Yes. Replacing an air conditioner or condensing unit with one of like capacity is "minor work" under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, so the construction office is notified, a permit application is filed, and the installation is inspected. Repairing an existing AC system counts as ordinary maintenance and needs no permit. In New Brunswick, permits and inspections go through the New Brunswick Construction Department on Kirkpatrick Street.

Often, yes. PSE&G runs an HVAC Instant Rebates program for its electric customers. Programs, eligibility, and amounts change, and some require proof of the permit, so we confirm the current rules for your equipment before you commit to a replacement.

Homes heated by boilers and radiators have no ducts, which is where ductless mini-splits or a high-velocity system make sense.
