Why BF Mechanical
Old boilers, steam heat and tricky plumbing are our everyday work
More than half the homes in Yonkers, and most in Bronxville, Pelham and Scarsdale, were built before 1960. Plenty of companies would rather sell you a new system than understand the one you have. We tell you honestly which makes more sense, and when we repair, we fix the cause.
Fix the cause, not the symptom
Venting, pipe pitch and water level, not just another part.
Built for older homes
Two-families, Tudors, co-ops and prewar walk-ups.
Repair or replace, honestly
When a boiler is near the end, we price both options.
On time, every time
Clear arrival windows and a clean workspace when we leave.
