Your Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County Heat Pump Replacement Team

Homeowners across Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County turn to Universe when their heat pump needs replacement.

Heat pump work on Long Island demands expert HVAC technicians. Coastal salt air attacks outdoor condenser coils. Postwar homes have electrical panels that were not built for modern equipment. The configuration inside a 1960s ranch in Massapequa is not the same as a newer build in Syosset.

Universe technicians know the difference because they have been doing this work in these neighborhoods for decades. As a BBB Accredited Business, Energy Star partner, and National Grid Value Plus Installer, we are also the ones who get you connected to rebate programs, not a form you figure out yourself.

Our Heat Pump Replacement Process

Replacing your heat pump is a significant step, but it does not have to feel complicated. Here is what the process looks like.

Our technicians evaluate your existing system, home layout, ductwork, and heating and cooling load to recommend the right heat pump for your home. Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County homes built in the postwar decades often have configurations that require careful assessment before a replacement can be correctly sized. You receive upfront pricing, a clear explanation of why a system fits your home, and scheduling that works around your situation, including same-day availability when waiting is not an option.

Licensed technicians handle the full installation from start to finish, covering electrical connections, refrigerant lines, and airflow configuration to manufacturer specifications and local codes. Refrigerant lines, electrical connections, and mounting are handled to spec, and your home is left clean when the crew is done.

Once installed, your system runs through both heating and cooling modes to confirm reliable operation. Your technician calibrates the system to your home’s heating and cooling profile and goes through the controls with you before leaving.

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.

Connor Tomaszewski is one of the best technicians out there and the only one who truly knows Navien boilers inside and out. His work is outstanding, and he is always professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-quality service!
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.

Kevin came to my home, evacuated the problem and detailed the situation to me. He ordered the new ductless equipment and installed it the next day. Kevin was professional, honest, neat and made sure the air conditioning was working properly. For my air conditioning units and repairs, I wouldnโ€™t go anyplace else.

I canโ€™t say enough good things about Universe home services and repairs. We have been a customer of Universe for years. Recently we had a plumbing issue and they were wonderful. Jeff the plumber was very professional and a pleasure to work with. We have also worked with Marc on a gas conversion. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. Great company with quality people! Update June 2026 – another 5 stars for Universe Home Services and electrician Dawid Boroch. Dawid was very professional, knowledgeable, and his work is exceptional. He explained the scope of the job and answered our questions before beginning his work and walked us through the results afterwards. Dawid was an absolute pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him!

What Changes When You Replace Your Heat Pump

Replace an aging heat pump and you notice it fast.

A heat pump moves heat instead of generating it, which makes it far more efficient than electric resistance heating or an aging compressor running past its efficiency curve. Long Island homeowners on PSEG pay some of the highest electricity rates in the country. When your replacement is sized and installed correctly, that efficiency gap closes fast.

If the bedroom above the garage never gets cool in August, or the back addition runs cold all winter, that is a system sizing or distribution problem, not a fact of life. A replacement assessed against your home’s actual load and ductwork fixes it. A replacement sized and installed correctly responds to your thermostat the way the system was designed to.

Many Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County homes are running a separate old furnace or boiler for heat alongside an aging central AC. Replacing with a heat pump consolidates both into one system, one maintenance schedule, and one contractor when something needs attention.

Long Island homeowners with heat pumps approaching 15 years spend fall wondering whether this is the season the compressor goes. A new system with a manufacturer warranty behind it ends that. You stop managing something on borrowed time.

Why Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County Homeowners Choose Universe for Heat Pump Replacement

The company you choose for your heat pump replacement determines whether the job is done right and whether you have someone to call afterward.

Seventy years on Long Island. That is not an accident.

Long Island’s coastal salt air corrodes outdoor condenser coils and refrigerant connections faster than inland climates. Your technician accounts for that during installation: equipment placement, line protection, coil material, because they have seen what happens to systems installed without it.

Universe has been serving homeowners in Levittown, Massapequa, Hicksville, and across Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County since 1954. Seven decades of work across these neighborhoods means your technician is not guessing at what Long Island homes typically present.

There is no charge for the estimate. It covers your home’s actual heating and cooling load, your existing ductwork or refrigerant lines, your electrical panel capacity, and your options. The total cost and the logic behind the recommendation are on the table before you commit.

Heat pump replacements on Long Island frequently surface related issues: undersized panels that need upgrading before the new system can run, or plumbing work tied to the mechanical room. Universe covers all three trades. One call handles it.

A heat pump handles both heating and cooling, which means a failure is never a minor inconvenience. Universe dispatches same-day for heat pump replacements that cannot wait, with 24/7 emergency coverage across Nassau and Suffolk County. Massapequa, Syosset, Huntington, Babylon: the response time does not change based on where you are on the island.

National Grid rebates apply to many heat pump installations on Long Island, and NYSERDA incentives add to that depending on the equipment tier. Universe tracks which National Grid and NYSERDA programs apply to your installation and submits the paperwork on your behalf. You do not leave money on the table.

Once your heat pump is running, Universe remains the contact for service questions and ongoing maintenance. Questions, service needs, maintenance scheduling: the same company that installed your heat pump is the one you call.


Protect Your Investment with the Home Comfort Club

Your new heat pump is worth protecting.

Most heat pump failures that turn into emergency calls started as something small a seasonal tune-up would have caught: a refrigerant level that had drifted, a coil showing early fouling, a capacitor near the end of its service life.

The Home Comfort Club schedules that visit automatically, one each for heating and cooling season, before problems develop into failures. Members get ahead of the scheduling queue, pay less on repair visits, and are not charged a dispatch fee when work is performed. Contact us to learn what the membership covers.

Is It Time to Replace Your Heat Pump?

A heat pump usually tells you before it quits. Here is what to watch.

Heat pumps on Long Island face accelerated wear from coastal salt air on outdoor components: condenser coils, refrigerant lines, and cabinet hardware all degrade faster than they would inland. A system past 15 years in Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County is not just losing efficiency. It is one compressor failure away from no heating and no cooling at the same time.

Check the outdoor condenser. Surface rust on the cabinet is cosmetic. But if the coil fins are visibly corroded or refrigerant line connections are pitting, the system is losing capacity and will continue to. Long Island homeowners within a few miles of the water see this earlier than most.

PSEG rates on Long Island are among the highest in the country. When your bills rise with no change in usage or thermostat setting, your heat pump’s efficiency has degraded. That gap costs real money every month and widens as the system ages.

A heat pump that struggles to cool the house during a Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County August or hold temperature during a January cold snap has stopped meeting your home’s demands. If it is running constantly without hitting the thermostat setting, the compressor is working harder than it should and the end is closer than you think.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I decide between repairing and replacing my heat pump?

Age and repair history are the most reliable guides. A heat pump under 10 years old with an isolated failure is almost always worth repairing. One past 15 years with recurring problems, or one facing a major component failure like a failed compressor or refrigerant system issue, is typically a replacement candidate. Universe gives you an honest read on both options after evaluating what is actually in front of the technician.

Will I qualify for rebates or incentives on a heat pump replacement?

Many Long Island, Rockland County & Bergen County homeowners qualify for National Grid rebates when replacing older equipment with high-efficiency heat pump systems. Eligibility depends on the equipment you choose and your home’s current setup. Universe identifies available programs and handles the paperwork so you get the savings without the administrative burden.

My heat pump is 16 years old but still running. Why replace it now?

Because Long Island summers and winters do not care about your timing. A heat pump past 15 years is increasingly likely to fail during the hottest week of August or the coldest stretch of January, when you have no leverage and emergency replacement costs more. Replacing on your schedule, with a free estimate and financing options, is a different experience than replacing at 9pm in July.

Can a heat pump handle Long Island winters on its own?

Modern cold-climate heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently well below freezing and can serve as a primary heating source in most Long Island homes. Your technician evaluates your home’s insulation, layout, and existing system during the in-home assessment to confirm which configuration fits your situation.
