Cottam Heating & Air Conditioning has been a family-owned business on Fordham Street in City Island, in the Bronx, since 1984, and its red service trucks are a familiar sight across the Bronx and lower Westchester towns such as New Rochelle, Pelham, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Mount Vernon, Yonkers and Port Chester. The company handles air conditioning, ductless systems, heat pumps, furnaces, boilers, radiant heating, duct repair and indoor air quality work, plus commercial air conditioning, and it holds Mitsubishi Electric's Diamond Elite Contractor status. Trucks are kept fully stocked so more repairs get finished on the first visit. Cottam backs its work with a satisfaction guarantee and offers financing on installations, and it runs 24 hours a day with 24/7 emergency service. Reviewers describe long relationships with the company, including customers on maintenance plans since around 2013 and homeowners who called Cottam back for a heat pump and mini-split installation after a contractor referral. It holds a 4.7 rating from 302 Google reviews.

About Cottam Heating & Air Conditioning

City Island is a small fishing-village corner of the Bronx, reached by a single bridge from Pelham Bay Park. Cottam Heating & Air Conditioning has its base on Fordham Street there, and its website says the family-owned company has been in business since 1984. Its red service trucks are a familiar sight across the Bronx and lower Westchester, where it lists towns such as New Rochelle, Pelham, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Mount Vernon, Yonkers and Port Chester.

The service list is complete for a residential heating and cooling company. It covers air conditioning repair, installation and maintenance, ductless systems, heat pumps, furnaces, boilers, radiant heating, duct repair and sealing, and indoor air quality. The company also does commercial air conditioning. It describes itself as a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Elite Contractor, and it says its trucks are fully stocked so more repairs can be finished on the first visit.

Loyalty is the main theme in the reviews. One customer has used Cottam for years across two homes and a family member's property. Another has been on a maintenance plan since about 2013, with twice-yearly service, and turned to Cottam again when a bigger job came up. A homeowner doing a larger renovation had a heat pump and two mini-splits installed after a referral from their general contractor, and was pleased with the result. Technicians mentioned include Jim, Rob, Tom, George and Hector.

There is one critical review worth noting. A customer was told their three-year-old water heater should be replaced, declined, and then had it fail again a few months later. They questioned whether the first recommendation was right. It is a reminder to ask for the reason behind any replacement advice.

Cottam lists 24-hour availability and 24/7 emergency service. The website offers a satisfaction guarantee and competitive financing on installations, but it does not advertise free estimates or publish license numbers.

Who it suits: Bronx and Westchester homeowners who want a long-term HVAC partner with a maintenance plan, and anyone planning a Mitsubishi heat pump or mini-split project. Who it suits less well: Brooklyn and Staten Island residents, who are outside its usual area.

Before booking, ask what the maintenance plan includes, whether there is a service call fee, and for the specific reason behind any replacement recommendation.
