Elite HVAC Solutions for Upper East Side Co-ops & Historic Residences

Navigating the Complexity of Upper East Side Comfort

On the Upper East Side, an HVAC installation is more than a mechanical project—it is a diplomatic one. Between the strict regulations of Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue Co-op Boards and the architectural preservation required by the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), you need a partner who understands the "UES Standard."

Dezier Air provides a seamless, "turn-key" experience. We don’t just install elite climate systems; we handle the architectural drawings, electrical load letters, and noise-mitigation plans required to secure board approval on the first attempt.

Specialized Solutions for Pre-War Architecture

Standard HVAC units often clash with the soaring ceilings and ornate plasterwork of pre-war homes. We offer:

  • The "Invisible" Retrofit: Using high-velocity systems (like Unico) with 2-inch flexible ducting that snakes through existing walls without destroying crown moldings.

  • Board-Approved PTAC Upgrades: High-efficiency, ultra-quiet PTAC replacements for luxury buildings, ensuring compliance with building-wide aesthetic and decibel standards.

  • Custom Enclosures: Bespoke cabinetry and millwork integration so your HVAC system disappears into your interior design.

  • Soundproofing & Vibration Isolation: Advanced mounting techniques that ensure your neighbors never hear your system, meeting the most stringent co-op noise by laws.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get HVAC installation approved by a Co-op Board on the Upper East Side?

To secure UES Co-op Board approval, you must submit a comprehensive "Alteration Agreement" package. Dezier Air simplifies this by providing all necessary documentation: licensed MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) plans, a detailed Scope of Work (SOW), $5M+ Liability COIs, and sound-dampening specifications. Our experience with premier UES managing agents ensures your project meets building protocols for freight elevator use and work-hour restrictions.

What is the best HVAC for a historic UES brownstone?

For historic UES brownstones, ductless mini-split heat pumps or high-velocity systems are ideal. These require minimal "demo," preserving original plaster and woodwork while providing modern, energy-efficient cooling and heating that meets Landmark Preservation standards.
