HVAC & Refrigeration Focused
A plumbing problem is shutting down your equipment
When a pipe bursts, a valve fails, or a pump dies — your water heater has no supply, your ice machine stops producing, your boiler cannot circulate, and your condensate has nowhere to go. We fix the plumbing that your climate systems depend on.
Mechanical room flooding
A burst pipe or failed valve is soaking the room your boiler and HVAC live in — turning a leak into a $20K loss.
No water to equipment
A dead shut-off valve or corroded line left your water heater, ice machine, or steamer with no supply, so it can't run.
Dead circulation pump
Your hydronic pump quit, so heat won't circulate — radiators go cold, the boiler short-cycles, and you freeze.
Corroded pipes choking flow
Old galvanized pipes rust from the inside, cutting pressure year by year and starving your ice machine and water heater.

FAQ
Questions We Hear Every Day
Practical answers about commercial plumbing repair.
Is water heater plumbing or HVAC? It is squarely plumbing — water heaters connect to domestic hot and cold supply lines and require a licensed master plumber to install in New York City. The plumber pulls the DOB plumbing permit, performs the work, and schedules the required inspection. HVAC technicians handle heating and cooling equipment; the domestic water heater feeding sinks and showers is outside their licensed scope.
Is HVAC plumbing? No — they are distinct licensed trades in New York State. HVAC technicians hold refrigeration and/or sheet metal licenses covering heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment. Licensed master plumbers hold a separate DOB-issued license covering domestic water supply, drain-waste-vent systems, gas piping, and related fixtures. Some larger mechanical contractors employ both, but the scopes of work and permitting authority are entirely separate under NYC Administrative Code.
Does HVAC include plumbing? Generally no — in NYC, the trades are licensed separately and regulated under different sections of the Administrative Code. HVAC scope covers air handling, refrigeration, ductwork, and mechanical heating equipment. Plumbing scope covers water supply, drainage, gas piping, and fixtures. Some large commercial projects require both trades on the same job, each pulling their own permits. One contractor may hold both licenses, but the work is tracked and inspected independently.
Who makes more, plumbers or HVAC technicians, depends on seniority, specialization, and union affiliation. In NYC, licensed master plumbers running their own businesses typically out-earn HVAC technicians due to the difficulty of the licensing exam and the mandatory apprenticeship. Union journeyman plumbers (Local 1) and sheet metal workers (Local 28) earn comparable hourly rates — typically $60–$90 per hour in prevailing-wage jobs — but master plumber license holders carry unique legal authority that commands a premium.
What pays more, HVAC or plumbing, is a close comparison in New York's union market. Both trades offer starting apprentice wages around $25–$35 per hour rising to $70–$90 at journeyman level in prevailing-wage commercial work. Licensed master plumbers hold exclusive legal authority over a broader scope of NYC work, including gas piping and backflow prevention, which typically gives the plumbing trade a ceiling advantage for those who complete the full licensing path.
