Briarcliff Manor is where Carey & Walsh has been based since 1944 — our vehicles start the day on North State Road, minutes from anywhere in the village. Furnace and boiler repair, AC installation, ductless systems and 24/7 emergency response, in the community we have served longest.
Briarcliff Manor is our home village, and after eighty years we know its housing stock about as well as anyone. The older estate homes off Scarborough Road and along the Pleasantville Road corridor tend to run steam or hot-water heat with original cast-iron radiation and piping that has been modified by several generations of contractors. The mid-century and newer construction toward Chappaqua Road is mostly forced air. The two need very different things from an HVAC company, and a great many of the systems in this village were installed, replaced or serviced by us at some point.
Riverfront villages like Briarcliff Manor also see their own weather pattern — humid, sticky summers off the Hudson and damp, raw winters that are hard on aging heating equipment. Between the older housing stock and the local climate, Briarcliff Manor homeowners deal with a particular set of HVAC challenges that a contractor unfamiliar with the area can easily get wrong. We've been working in Westchester's river towns since 1944, and our technicians know what to expect before they ring the doorbell — whether that's a cramped basement boiler room in a pre-war home near the village center or a modern forced-air system in a newer build closer to the Saw Mill River Parkway.
From original steam systems in the village's older homes to modern condensing furnaces in newer construction, we repair, maintain and replace all of it — including the oil-fired and steam equipment many contractors have stopped servicing.
Where ductwork exists, central air is straightforward. In the older estate homes where duct chases were never built, ductless gives you zoned cooling without tearing into plaster. As a Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor, that work is routine for us here.
The most common heating system in Briarcliff Manor's newer construction. We repair, maintain and install every major brand, from standard efficiency through modern condensing units.
Common throughout the village's older homes. One-pipe and two-pipe systems, pressure controls, low water cutoffs, main venting and the water hammer that comes with them.
Cast-iron radiators and baseboard loops across much of the older housing here. Circulators, zone valves, expansion tanks and controls.
Increasingly common on additions and retrofits where extending ductwork was impractical. Repair, maintenance and replacement across all brands.
Zoned heating and cooling without ductwork — the practical answer in older Briarcliff Manor homes with no duct chases. We are a Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor.
Still in service across much of Briarcliff Manor and the surrounding towns. Burner service, combustion testing, nozzles, electrodes and controls.
Briarcliff Manor is where our fleet is based, so response here is as fast as it gets. Technicians are on call around the clock, every day of the year including holidays.
The highest dealer designation Mitsubishi Electric awards, earned on installation quality and training — which matters wherever ductless is the practical answer.
We fabricate our own ductwork and transitions, which is what makes retrofits possible in older Briarcliff Manor homes where nothing is a standard size.

Have a question about your furnace, boiler, or AC that isn't answered here? Our team is happy to talk it through.
Call 914-762-9600Yes. No-heat and no-cooling calls are dispatched around the clock, 365 days a year including holidays. Briarcliff Manor is within our core service area and our fleet runs from Briarcliff Manor, so response times here are short.
Yes — Carey & Walsh has operated from North State Road in the village since 1944. This is not a service area we drive into; it is where our vehicles start the day, which is why response times here are among our shortest.
Often yes. Where there are usable closets, chases or attic runs we fabricate ductwork in-house and can frequently make a conventional system work. Where that is genuinely impractical, ductless mini-splits give you zoned cooling without opening up the house. We will tell you honestly which applies after looking at it.
Yes, and it is a genuine specialty rather than something we tolerate. Low water cutoffs, pressuretrols, main venting, near-boiler piping and water hammer are routine work for us. Banging radiators are usually a pressure, pitch or venting problem — not a failing boiler, whatever you may have been told.
All major heating and cooling brands. Our vehicles carry the parts most commonly needed on the equipment found in this area, which is why a large share of repair calls are finished on the first visit rather than after a parts order.
Yes. Seasonal maintenance is the single most effective way to avoid an emergency call, particularly on steam and older equipment where small faults compound quietly. Call to discuss what suits your system.
It depends entirely on what has failed, and quoting a figure before seeing the system would not be honest. What we can promise is a written estimate with parts and labor separated before any work begins, and nothing starting until you approve it. Call 914-762-9600 for a free estimate.
