Technician Dean R. from Universe Home Service was very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional in reprogramming my Weil-McLain Ultra 155 boiler after a power outage had caused it to not function. Universe Home Service was very attentive to my situation offering same day service, and arrived promptly after my initial call. The service center kept me aware of arrival times and options. I would recommend Universe Home Service for home services.

Very timely and friendly service when I needed it most. Thank you team!
I had a great experience with Universe over the past few days. After a burst water pipe in the kitchen I reached out to them and they were in my house almost immediately. After stabilizing the situation they helped coordinate a restoration contractor who also responded fast. After the cleanup Universe repaired the pipe which was in the concrete floor slab and then got all systems up and running again. Brandon and Brian from Universe did a timely and thorough job, explaining each step involved and helping to ease a stressful situation. They also helped handling the insurance claims. I highly recommend Universe- they were terrific!

Absolutely fantastic! Jamie was outstanding as well as Keith and Ben! I'm a first time homeowner and Jamie went way above and beyond helping me get my mini splits furnace and on demand hot water heater. Keith was very informative and helpful when giving me my electric service quote and Ben was great when he and his crew (Fritz among many others) came to install everything! Also, the customer service employees are very nice and do a really good job. When I bought this home knowing I needed these things immediately I did a lot of review reading and once I came to Universe and read how happy people were I knew this was who I was going to go with.

I received a quote on replacing an older existing central air conditioning for my home last summer from Frank Barczik. I didnโ€™t decide to purchase at that time. Last week an emergency situation developed and I called Frank. He quickly and professionally sent me a new quote. I decided to go ahead with the replacement. He stopped by to double check everything. Universe was able to have an installation crew at my home the next day. The crew worked neatly and diligently throughout the day to install the system by 5 pm. Frank stopped by midday to check on everything. The installers were polite and knew what they were doing. I am very satisfied with the work that was done. If you want a professional job done right the first time with a great company that stands behind their work, choose Universe.

We recently hired Universe for our oil to gas conversion, along with some related work. Everyone who worked on these projects was professional and a pleasure to deal with. In particular, Nikki LaCava did a wonderful job coordinating the work and assisting with our permits and other required paperwork. Brian Gerle and Hayden Muttee did a fantastic job installing the gas piping for the project, while Sal Tarantino and his crew (Hayden Muttee and Nick DiGiacomo) also did fantastic and efficient work removing our old furnace and hot water heater and installing the new equipment. Additionally, Christopher Martin did a great job fixing an interim problem with our old hot water heater before the final conversion was completed. Thanks to you all for a job very well done – each one of you deserves a five-star review! Thank you again for everything, Craig and Claudine Livingston

June 2026 The pump from my washing machine decided to stop working a few nights ago. What a disaster! Thank goodness I had the gizmo on the floor that starts beeping when water hits it because it could have been a lot worse. The water in the pump kept pouring out until it was empty. I called Universe and Melanie F. came over. She evaluated the situation and made plans to come back the following day to install a new pump. I was so impressed with Melanie. Her recommendations on the new pump worked out great. I was so pleased with Melanie's professionalism and knowledge that she's coming back soon to install the automatic water main shut off when it senses a leak. Once again I highly recommend Universe and Melanie F.! April 2026 Nick S. came to do the yearly service for my air conditioning. Nick is great and very up front which I like. After almost 17 years I need a new system. Ugh! He brought me outside and showed me all the reasons why it should be replaced. I could wait & see but didnโ€™t want to risk it so Saturday Iโ€™ll be getting a new system. It just needs to be done. I was very happy Nick explained everything to me. Heโ€™s very knowledgeable & friendly. I would also like to acknowledge the following employees from Universe who all had some part of the installation of my furnace, compressor and humidifier. Everyone who came to my house were so friendly and respectful. The guys all explained what was being done. They also installed an Air Scrubber which purifies my system of spores, etc. The employees are Tommy Ercolano, Matt Drury, Carlos Caceros, Justin Quan-Soon, Jamell Smith and Karl Rindfleisch. All were fabulous. And I can't forget Chester Sacknievich who came back to fix an issue I was having and figured out the solution. Chester is great. I highly recommend Universe. Their employees go above and beyond!!

Our water heater unexpectedly had to be replaced after National Grid identified it as a safety concern before reconnecting our gas service. Needless to say, it was a very stressful and completely unexpected situation. From my very first phone call, everyone at Universe Home Services was kind, patient, and incredibly helpful. They understood the urgency and had a technician at my home much sooner than I expected. Jeff Madonia was outstanding. He took the time to thoroughly inspect everything, patiently answered every question I had, and never made me feel rushed or like I was inconveniencing him. He explained my options clearly, walked me through the estimates on his tablet, and made sure I understood everything before moving forward. Initially, it looked like the installation might have to wait until the following morning. I asked if there was any chance it could be done the same day, and Jeff immediately went to see what he could do. A few minutes later, he came back and told me they were going to make it happen that day. That level of customer service meant so much during a stressful situation. I also appreciated how respectful Jeff was while working in my home. Even when I had left the door unlocked while he was moving equipment in and out, he always knocked before coming back inside. That level of professionalism and respect stood out to me and made a stressful situation much easier. The entire experience, from the first phone call through the completed installation, was professional, efficient, and reassuring. Jeffโ€™s kindness, knowledge, and willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference. Thank you, Jeff, and thank you to the Universe Home Services team.
I had an issue with my HVAC, and Universal was able to send someone out very quickly. Both Chester and Dawid were knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and very respectful of my home. They diagnosed and fixed the problem promptly, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. Thank you for your excellent service! I will definitely use Universal again in the future and highly recommend them.

I had a great experience with Universe Home Services. I initially left a message on their call system and received a call back with 30 minutes from Laurie. I explained my concern and issue we were having with out Central AC and she was able to schedule service for that same day. I received text messages with arrival time, when the technician was on their way, and when they arrived at my home. Our service technician was Bob Grillo. He was super personable, kind and very thorough in his process. He answered all my questions and explained exactly what he was doing as he was troubleshooting. I had a great experience overall with the customer service as well as the job completion and would highly recommend Universe Home Services and Bob as the technician.
Danny Sutton from Sales was amazing.without him this was not possible.so kind and empathetic towards customer amazing service From the crew who was here to install the air condition Sean Dany Jared Brian Very professional polite and extremely knowledgeable They worked so efficiently and kept the area clean that you could not feel that a big job was completed after they left. I will recommend Universe home service to everyone out there who is looking for a reliable company.

We have used Universe now for a few installations, Anthony recently swapped out a toilet for us, cleared out a major blockage on a sewer line and Vidal just installed a whole house filtration system for us after our previous system failed on our 1929 house. They have been very polite, knowledgeable and efficient and have always given us fair and tiered options with pricing. We would highly recommend their services.

Need a New Air Conditioner? Look Out for These Signs

Some signs of AC failures are easy to spot. Others require a closer look. Look out for these problems to determine if you need a new AC:

When your AC struggles with efficiency, it works overtime to cool your Plainview home and uses more energy doing so. If you’ve noticed your utility bills climbing, this could signal it’s time for an upgrade.

Repair costs add up fast when you’re scheduling service calls more frequently in Plainview. Over time, investing in a new system can save you both money and frustration.

Air conditioners typically begin losing efficiency and reliability as they age beyond 10-15 years. For Plainview homeowners with aging systems, replacement often proves to be the smarter long-term investment.

Some rooms stay too warm while others feel comfortable. Your system struggles during Plainview’s hottest days. It may no longer be capable of meeting your home’s cooling demands.

AC Replacement Frequently Asked Questions

Will a new air conditioner lower my energy bills?

Modern air conditioning systems in Plainview use significantly less energy than units from even 10 years ago, thanks to improved compressor technology and better refrigerants. Most homeowners notice their utility bills drop within the first few months after installation, especially during Nassau County’s hot summer months when the AC runs frequently. The exact savings depend on your old system’s age and condition, but the efficiency gains are typically substantial enough to make a real difference in your monthly costs.

How long does an AC replacement take?

A typical AC replacement in Plainview takes 6 to 8 hours from start to finish. Most installations wrap up in one day. The timeline depends on factors like your home’s setup and whether any electrical or ductwork modifications are needed. Our technicians arrive prepared with everything required to remove your old system and get your new unit running the same day.

Do you offer financing options for AC replacement?

Yes, we provide several financing plans for AC replacement in Plainview to spread the cost over manageable monthly payments. These options include different term lengths and payment structures, so you can choose what works best for your household budget. Our technicians explain each plan clearly during your consultation. No pressure to decide immediately.

How do I know what size AC system I need?

Getting the right size AC for your Plainview home requires looking at square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, window placement, and how many people live there. An undersized unit will run constantly without cooling properly. An oversized system cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and creating humidity problems. Our technicians calculate the exact cooling load your home needs using industry-standard methods, so your new system delivers consistent comfort without working harder than necessary.
