Who this is for
Built for the Brooklyn jobs where details decide the outcome.
The highest-value installs in brownstone Brooklyn are not commodity AC swaps. They are design-sensitive heat pump projects where equipment selection, routing, approvals, and finish work all matter.
Retrofit-sensitive apartments
Clean indoor placement, protected floors, careful drilling, and line-hide that looks intentional instead of tacked on.
Premium electrification projects
Mitsubishi cold-climate systems, whole-home heat pump upgrades, and rebate-aware planning for serious homeowners.
The Scandinavian difference
Max installs like the system has to live in the house for twenty years.
Room-by-room assessment
Max walks the building, studies the layout, and sizes from the real conditions of the home.
Clean line-set routing
Exterior runs are straight and supported. Interior chases are used where the geometry allows.
24-hour pressure test
Every installation is pressure-tested before commissioning, because leaks are not an acceptable surprise.
Mitsubishi
M- and P-Series installation training, residential applications, and zoned comfort coursework.
Cold climate
Training in air-source heat pump sizing and design for New York heating conditions.
Insured
General liability and workers comp. COI available for boards, owners, and managers.
Licensed and insured
COI available, EPA certified, and owner-led from first visit to startup.
How we work
A premium install process without contractor fog.
Max keeps the process direct: assess the home, design the system, protect the space, install cleanly, test before startup, and leave the homeowner with a system they understand.
Site visit
Walk the rooms, roof, exterior path, electrical reality, and owner goals.
Load and design
Choose the right zones, indoor units, outdoor placement, and rebate-eligible equipment.
Clean install
Protect the home, route line sets neatly, manage condensate, and keep the work area orderly.
Commissioning
Pressure test, evacuate properly, start up carefully, and walk through system operation.
Rebate strategy
For the right project, rebates can change the math.
Con Edison currently advertises air-source heat pump incentives up to $10,000 for qualifying upgrades. Eligibility depends on building type, project scope, equipment, old heating system, and program rules.
Up to $10k
Max helps homeowners think through the rebate path before equipment is selected. That means qualifying cold-climate equipment, the right project category, and a plan for documentation instead of trying to fix paperwork after the install.
2026 note: the federal 25C heat pump tax credit applied to qualifying improvements placed in service through December 31, 2025. Current consultations should verify active utility and NYSERDA incentives before quoting.
