Radiant and Baseboard Heating
Basic Refrigeration Heating & AC has kept North Jersey homes warm since 1997. When your heating system needs expert service, from a simple repair to a complete replacement, you get a contractor who has seen it all.
You get a heating contractor who carries a Master HVACR License and stocks common parts on the truck. Most repairs are finished in one visit, not two or three.
Basic Refrigeration Heating & AC has spent 29 years working on the furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps inside North Jersey's older homes. That includes the hydronic and steam systems in Essex County houses built before 1970 that most newer contractors have never been trained on. We also handle combo boilers that provide both heat and hot water from a single unit.
You stop wondering whether the technician actually understands your system. You get a diagnosis, a clear price, and a repair that holds.
Homeowners across Bloomfield, Montclair, and the surrounding communities have counted on us since 1997 because we fix heating systems the way they were designed to work, not the way a shortcut makes them run.
Furnace Repair & Installation
When your furnace stops producing heat or starts cycling on and off, you need it fixed before the temperature drops further. Our technicians carry common ignitors, capacitors, and blower motors on the truck so most furnace repairs are completed the same day. If your system is past the point of repair, we size and install a replacement that matches your home and your budget, with a written quote before any work begins.
Boiler Repair & Installation
If your boiler is losing pressure, heating unevenly, or leaking at the joints, you need a contractor who has actually worked on these systems before. We specialize in hydronic boilers, including high-efficiency condensing units and combo systems that produce domestic hot water. Many homes in Nutley, Belleville, and Glen Ridge still run on the original boiler, and we have been servicing those systems since 1997.
Heat Pump Services
Heat pumps provide heating and cooling from a single system, and modern low-ambient models work efficiently even on the coldest North Jersey nights. Whether you are adding a heat pump to supplement an existing furnace or installing a ductless mini-split in a room addition, we handle sizing, installation, and ongoing service for all major brands.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your furnace is under 15 years old and the repair costs less than half a new unit, repairing usually makes sense. Once you pass that threshold, you are paying to keep an increasingly inefficient system alive. New Jersey winters push heating systems hard, so a furnace already showing its age in Bloomfield or Montclair is unlikely to improve next season. We will give you both options with real numbers so you can decide.
