Irvington homes at a glance
The kind of buildings in a town shapes the heating and cooling work it needs. Here is what the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 2020–2024 (via Census Reporter) shows for Irvington:
| Housing in Irvington | Share |
|---|---|
| Median year homes were built | 1960 |
| Homes built before 1960 | 49% |
| Households heating with utility gas | 69% |
| Households heating with electricity | 21% |
| Households heating with fuel oil | 4% |
| Homes in 2-4 unit buildings | 38% |
| Owner-occupied households | 30% |
What that means for heating and cooling
- Older housing stock. The median home in Irvington was built around 1960, and 49% of homes predate 1960. Many still run original-style boiler or furnace systems that have been replaced piece by piece over the years.
- Mostly gas heat. About 69% of households heat with utility gas, 21% with electricity and 4% with fuel oil. With that much gas heat, annual combustion and carbon monoxide safety checks matter.
- Lots of multi-family buildings. 76% of homes are in buildings with two or more units (38% in two- to four-unit buildings). Units often have their own equipment, so access, shared venting and coordinating with owners are part of the job.
- Most households rent. About 70% of households rent and 30% own. We work with landlords and property managers as well as tenants who need to get a problem in front of the owner.

How pricing works
- New systems and replacements: free on-site estimate. We measure the space and look at the existing setup before quoting.
- System not working right: a diagnostic visit has a fee, and the entire fee is applied toward the repair.
- Larger jobs: financing is available, including for emergency system replacements.
- Warranty: a labor warranty is standard on every replacement and new installation. Manufacturer equipment warranties carry their own terms, and we help you register the equipment.
