Why Gotham Home Services
PTAC service in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island includes diagnosis, repair recommendations, replacement planning, and maintenance for packaged terminal air conditioners in apartments, hotels, and light-commercial spaces. A PTAC is a self-contained through-wall unit serving one room, with model-specific cooling, heating, voltage, sleeve, drainage, and control requirements. Service begins by checking symptoms, airflow, coils, controls, drainage, electrical conditions, and the surrounding installation. Replacement selection also depends on sleeve dimensions and circuit capacity. Pricing is quote on request after inspection because the unit condition, compatible equipment, building access, and approved work vary by property.

What we handle
