Nick came to fix an issue with my oil burner and wound up resolving a few other issues I wasn't aware of, but glad he did, because I wouldn't have noticed them until he left and then would have been in a worse position. Great tech and awesome company!

Today, a technician named Anthony Ezzo from Universe Home Service came and replaced the zone valve of our gas boiler. The weather is very cold, and we were worried because the heating was not working. However, he arrived early, kindly explained the issue to us, and completed the replacement efficiently. We truly appreciate his professionalism and excellent service. Thank you very much. Peter Nahm Syosset, NY

We recently had an oil-to-gas conversion done by Universe Home Services, and Mike helped us with the project. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and considerate throughout the process. He took the time to make sure everything was done properly and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciate his excellent service and attention to detail. Highly recommend Mike and Universe Home Services to anyone looking for reliable and professional service!
Honestly, I was skeptical due to the price and upon reading negative reviews from other customers. But, Tony, the comfort advisor, definitely put me at ease by ensuring the job’s needs were met. The job was started and completed today, 9/17/26, by Mr. Espinal and Mr. Kelly. There was a third person whose name unfortunately I didn’t catch. I can surely say that the 3 gentlemen that performed the job were not only polite, but knowledgeable, neat, careful and considerate when performing and moving materials throughout my home. I hope that my review speaks for years to come as I make use of the waterless water heater. I hope to be able to use them for other future needs. Thank you Universe Home Services. 10/16/2026 Addendum to previous review. Unfortunately, when the waterless tank was installed, the process caused a blockage to occur with the hot water connected to my washing machine. Reached out to Universe who had a technician come out to check what the issue was on 9/30/2026. The tech wasn’t sure what the issue was, so the issue remained unresolved. I phoned again to see if another tech can come and take a second look.On 10/6/26, another technician came by as scheduled, his name was Anthony Krachenfels. Although, Anthony appeared to know what the issue was, he was very rude and sarcastic. Again, he left stating a part for the washing machine would be ordered and installed, when the part is received. I followed up with a call on 10/7/26 to complain about Anthony Krachenfels, as well to inform Universe that if a new technician was going to be assigned, I didn’t want it to be Mr. Krachenfels. The person spoken to assured me that a different technician would be performing the job. I phoned back on 10/14/26, to check on the status of the part ordered along with the date of installation. I was informed that the part was received, and a new appointment was made for 10/16/26. Mr. Joseph Henry, arrived as scheduled, he was very pleasant and completed the job with no issues or complaints. Thank you Universe and Joseph for committing to complete a satisfactory job at no extra charge. M. Toledo & F. Pillot

We vetted 5 different companies before going with Universe for our AC and furnace replacement. They were competitively priced, had excellent communication, clean, and respectful. They included a few other improvements in their work scope in like a new return vent, condensation line and pump, etc. that other companies we vetted didn't even address. We've had to call in a few times to get the system adjusted since our existing ductwork caused some issues, they've been excellent and attentive, sending over a manager or lead tech each time. Would highly recommend. Best value for the kind of service you get.

Air Handler Installation

Installing a new air handler can improve airflow, system efficiency, and overall comfort throughout your home.

Modern equipment is designed to work with today’s HVAC technology, delivering consistent performance across seasons.

Older air handlers may struggle to move air effectively through ductwork. A new system provides stronger airflow that reaches every room more evenly, which helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout the house.

Many modern heat pumps require advanced air handlers to operate efficiently. Installing updated equipment allows the system to work together more effectively, which improves heating and cooling performance.

Newer air handler models often use more efficient motors and components. These improvements reduce the energy required to circulate air throughout the home, which contributes to lower utility bills over time.

Older air handlers sometimes produce noticeable noise during operation. Modern systems are designed with quieter motors and improved insulation, which lets the HVAC system operate more quietly in the background.

Air Handler Replacement

Over time, even well-maintained HVAC equipment reaches the end of its lifespan.

Replacing an aging air handler can improve system performance and reliability across the full heating and cooling season.

Air handlers can operate reliably for many years, but they eventually begin to wear down. Older systems may struggle to maintain steady airflow or keep temperatures consistent throughout the home. When performance declines and repairs become more common, it is time to consider upgrading.

Occasional repairs are normal, but frequent service calls signal that an air handler is nearing the end of its lifespan. Motors, fans, and electrical parts wear out over time. Replacement eliminates recurring repair costs and provides more dependable operation.

When homeowners upgrade to a new heat pump or air conditioning system, the existing air handler may not be designed to work with the newer equipment. Mismatched components reduce system performance and limit efficiency.

Uneven airflow or weak ventilation in certain areas of the home can point to a failing air handler. If these issues continue even after repairs or duct adjustments, the equipment itself is the cause. A replacement unit restores balanced airflow.

Air Handler Repair

Air handlers contain several components that must work together for proper HVAC operation.

When one of these parts begins to fail, the system shows noticeable warning signs. We can help with:

Reduced airflow is often the first indicator of air handler trouble. A failing blower motor or clogged component limits the system’s ability to circulate air. Restoring proper airflow typically requires inspecting the blower and internal components.

Grinding, rattling, or buzzing sounds indicate mechanical problems inside the air handler. These noises often come from loose components or worn parts. Ignoring them allows the issue to worsen over time.

If certain areas of the home feel warmer or cooler than others, the air handler may not be distributing air properly. Internal component failures can cause this kind of imbalance. A professional inspection determines the cause.

When an air handler struggles to move air efficiently, the HVAC system runs longer than necessary. The additional runtime shows up on utility bills. Identifying the cause early prevents unnecessary strain on the full system.

Air Handler Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps air handlers operate efficiently and supports reliable HVAC performance.

Routine service also reduces the risk of unexpected system problems that could interrupt your home’s comfort.

Proper airflow is essential for consistent comfort throughout your home. We test airflow to identify restrictions or imbalances that reduce efficiency or strain your system.

Loose or worn electrical connections affect performance and create safety concerns. Our technicians inspect and secure all connections to support safe, reliable operation.

The blower motor plays a key role in circulating conditioned air. We evaluate its performance to detect signs of wear, which helps prevent airflow issues and unexpected breakdowns.

Dirty coils reduce efficiency and make your system work harder than necessary. We clean the coils to support proper heat transfer, improve performance, and extend equipment life.

Air Handler FAQs

What does an air handler do in an HVAC system?

An air handler circulates heated or cooled air throughout your home. It contains components such as the blower motor and evaporator coil that move air through the ductwork. Without a functioning air handler, your HVAC system cannot distribute air effectively.

How long does an air handler typically last?

Most air handlers last between 10 and 15 years, depending on usage and maintenance. Regular servicing extends the life of the equipment. Replacing filters and scheduling inspections keeps the system operating efficiently across that lifespan.

Can an air handler work with a heat pump?

Yes. Air handlers are commonly paired with heat pump systems. The air handler distributes the conditioned air produced by the heat pump throughout the home. These systems work together to provide both heating and cooling.

How do I know if my air handler needs repair?

Signs include weak airflow, unusual noises, or inconsistent room temperatures. Higher energy bills can also indicate that the air handler is not operating efficiently. A professional inspection determines the exact cause of the issue.
