How we build these rankings
AC Repair.AC is an independent editorial publisher — not an HVAC company, not a lead broker. We publish because NYC lacks a reliable, non-marketing source for AC repair information. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Licenses verified
Every company we rank has a current NYC Department of Consumer & Worker Protection Home Improvement Contractor license (or, for commercial work, the appropriate NYC DOB and EPA Section 608 credentials). Verified, then re-checked quarterly.
Reviews analyzed, not counted
We read the reviews. Star averages are easy to game — we look for repeated themes across Google, BBB, Yelp, and Angi over 24 months to spot patterns.
No pay-for-placement
Rankings are set by the editorial team. Affiliate partnerships never determine order — see our disclosure for the full policy.
Real people, real bylines
Every review and guide is written by a named editor with an author page. Corrections are logged publicly on the corrections page.
Written by people who work on real buildings
Our editors and contributors have combined experience across HVAC installation, NYC housing law, consumer research, and building operations. Every article is signed.
