Levittown Housing Stock
The median Levittown home dates to 1952, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 74 years old. Houses that old often still have duct runs sized for an old coal or oil furnace and 60- or 100-amp electrical panels. Both can add cost when new equipment goes in. About 16,000 households here own their home, 93.7% of the occupied total. With a median household income of $139,696 and a median home value of $564,000, local labor rates come out above the national middle in our model.
Nassau County had 5 hail days and 20 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 1.5 inches across. Storms here are more likely to cause power surges than coil damage, so a surge protector on the outdoor unit is worth the small cost.

New York Licensing and Efficiency Rules
New York falls in the DOE's North region. New split central air conditioners must meet at least 13.4 SEER2, and heat pumps sold anywhere in the U.S. need 14.3 SEER2 and 7.5 HSPF2. Most repairs don't need a permit. Anyone who opens the refrigerant circuit does need EPA Section 608 certification, and in New York the company should carry a state license or registration. Ask for both.
Before You Hire
- Ask what the emergency fee is before the truck is sent.
- If the CO alarm goes off, get everyone outside and call 911 or the gas company before you call an HVAC company.
- Keep space heaters away from curtains and bedding, and never heat the house with a gas oven.
