HVAC Contractor in Irvington, NY

Bella Family Air Solutions works as an HVAC contractor in Irvington, NY for oil burner service, boiler repair, water heaters and central air, in houses, co-ops and apartment buildings from the river up to East Irvington. Call when an oil burner locks out, a boiler leaks or hot water runs short, and a seasoned technician will explain the fix before starting.

Irvington’s Main Street drops steeply from Broadway to the train station and the river, and the side streets fan out across the hillside in a way that makes almost every house a little different from its neighbor. The village takes its name from Washington Irving, whose home, Sunnyside, sits by the water on its northern edge. We usually reach Irvington from 18 Jefferson Pl in White Plains in 15 to 20 minutes, via I-287 and Route 9.

Bella Family Air Solutions has served Westchester homes since 1976, and in Irvington that means a lot of radiator heat and a lot of oil. Our technicians carry at least 15 years of experience each and handle full oil burner service, boiler repair and water heater work, explaining each finding in plain terms before any work begins.

Victorian Radiator Homes and Oil-Fired Boilers

Much of Irvington was built between the late 1800s and the 1920s, and a good number of those homes still run an oil-fired boiler feeding cast-iron radiators or, after later renovations, baseboard. Oil equipment rewards regular care: the nozzle, oil filter and pump strainer need attention every season, the cad cell has to read the flame correctly, and soot left on the heat exchanger quietly drives fuel bills up.

Hot water is the other half of the story. Many of these boilers make domestic hot water through a tankless coil inside the boiler, which is why showers run lukewarm when two taps are open and why the boiler fires all summer long. A common upgrade is an indirect tank heated by the boiler, or a standalone unit; our article on tank vs. tankless water heaters helps sort out which direction fits your house.

• Oil burners locking out from clogged nozzles, filters or failing cad cells
• Scaled tankless coils producing weak, inconsistent hot water
• Older oil tanks in basements that should be inspected for weeping seams

Main Street, the Aqueduct Trail and the Riverfront

The Old Croton Aqueduct Trail runs right through the village, and many of the homes along it and above Matthiessen Park sit on narrow, sloping lots with basements tucked into the hill. Irvington also has two train stops — the Irvington Metro-North station at the foot of Main Street and, despite its name, the Ardsley-on-Hudson station, which is inside Irvington’s borders. Knowing the streets saves time on every visit.

A typical call in February: the oil burner has locked out, the homeowner hit the reset button twice, and the house is cooling fast. Our tech checks the oil level first, then the filter, nozzle and pump pressure, and tests the cad cell and ignitor. After replacing the worn parts, they run a combustion analysis and set the burner up properly so it doesn’t sooty-up and lock out again next month.

Dearman’s old grid, estate parks and more co-ops than you’d expect

The village began as Dearman and took Washington Irving’s name in 1854, then incorporated in 1872. It covers about four square miles, a third of it river, inside the Town of Greenburgh. Main Street’s historic district joined the National Register in 2014, and along Broadway sit estates such as Villa Lewaro, Madam C. J. Walker’s home, and Columbia University’s Nevis Laboratories.

The housing mix surprises people. Irvington has roughly 1,180 single-family homes, but also about a dozen co-op buildings, several condominium complexes and more than a dozen apartment buildings. That means our calls split between an oil burner in a Victorian basement and a central boiler or hot-water plant serving a whole building near the station.

Named sections such as Matthiessen Park, Jaffray Park and Spiro Park sit beside the older blocks near Main Street, so houses a few streets apart can be decades apart in age. Two ZIP codes apply: 10533 for most of the village and 10503 around the Ardsley-on-Hudson station. East Irvington, uphill toward the Saw Mill, is unincorporated Greenburgh but shares the Irvington school district.

• Formerly Dearman; renamed 1854, incorporated 1872
• ZIP codes 10533 and 10503 (Ardsley-on-Hudson)
• Co-op and apartment buildings alongside single-family homes
• East Irvington: Greenburgh jurisdiction, Irvington schools
