All i can say is Michael is the best of the best. had an emergency leak coming from my baseboard heating system. i called Michael, came over right away and a day later he had many guys in my house fixing the issue. Nobody better than OSI Comfort Specialists and highly highly recommended read more

We needed to have our air conditioner assessed and OSI had someone at our house in hours. Unfortunately we required a replacement...but Nick came out and did a great job giving us a really reasonable and fair estimate, answering every one of my questions and had an amazing crew install our system today. This crew was so efficient, polite, neat and again happy to answer my thousands of questions. Our install wasn't the easiest, but they never complained and explained everything they had to do. One of the best crews I've ever had do work in my house! They took away the old system and cleaned up quickly. My house looks like they were never here and feels amazing with the new unit. read more

I had a great experience today with OSI. I had a water leaking problem from my CAC unit. I called OSI, and they were extremely responsive, and said they would have a technician mid afternoon. The technician, Steve, arrived exactly when they said he would. I have nothing but accolades for Steve. Besides being an outstanding technician, diagnosing and correcting the problem quickly, he also was very professional, as well as very engaging. Again, I highly recommend this company for your air conditioning and heating needs. read more

I highly recommend OSI Comfort Specialists! They finished a full burner replacement for me in March. From the email communications with Ben Gambino, in person visit from Mike Levi, & then a great installation crew all was done with terrific communication & care! They made a stressful time much easier on me!!! Jackie Bittner read more

We have been customers of OSI for as long as we've owned our home--back when they were still "Haller & Burtis"! We've always had them service our oil burner, but then we found out that they also service air conditioning and do plumbing work too. Recently I called them because the heat wasn't getting to our master bathroom. They immediately sent out Mike who diagnosed the problem and had a service man come that very day to fix it. Problem solved--our bathroom is now toasty, along with all the other rooms. OSI is the most responsive, courteous and thoroughly competent company around, and I would recommend them highly. read more

For several years, I have been a customer of OSI Comfort Specialists (OSI) for household heating. It was not until I had a problem with my Nest Thermostat that was installed by my air conditioning service company that I learned that OSI was also in the household cooling business. Being a loyal customer of my air conditioning company, I had no intention of changing service providers. However, after learning some of the mistakes that my cooling company had made in the past few years, I decided to have OSI repair my thermostat issue. Ironically, within a couple of weeks, I had both of my Airconditioning units fail on me. OSI had just completed installing an oil tank in my garage. I was already impressed on how meticulous their service team performed. Without shopping price, I had OSI repair and replaced my household cooling systems. The owner of the company's father and son had taken personal attention to the project. I had several calls with Mike Levi, who helped me understand some of the challenges his team had experienced. Being once an executive of a technology services company, I have experience with understanding the challenges of operating a successful services Company. In the service business, a customer's requirements are the top precedence. A service company is required to provide skilled service and personnel with product expertise. Building trust and a rapport with your customers is essential for a service company's success. I experienced from OSI the qualities that I would anticipate from a professional service company: patients, conscientious, polite, skilled, communications, and loyal. read more

See all

Just had air conditioning replaced. Fantastic service. Servicemen were extremely courteous, respectable and professional. I used them 2 years ago to replace my old oil burner and was very satisfied. Highly recommend this company. read more

My family and I have been loyal customers for years, but that loyalty ends now. My recent experience with this company has been nothing short of horrific. During what should have been a yearly routine service (which I pay for), their technician perforated an oil line causing a leak in the exact location he had just worked on. This became clear immediately afterward due to the strong smell of oil. Instead of taking responsibility the company misrepresented what happened claiming the leak was 15 feet away from the serviced area and attempted to charge $850 which is ridiculous considering the technician caused the issue. Acting in good faith and as an honest customer, I offered a fair resolution of $300 to cover their material, which was more than reasonable and extremely generous given that the issue arose right after their technician worked in that area. I emailed the company owner, Michael Levi, to resolve the matter amicably but he did not attempt to address the situation fairly after being presented with the facts. Michael Levi ignored the information I provided and did not acknowledge what actually transpired. Overall this company has failed to take any responsibility. Upon calling the office to speak to Michael Levi, I was instead transferred to Lisa, whose behavior was unprofessionally rude, dismissive, and completely unacceptable (they can check their own recorded phone log). She refused to put Michael Levi on the phone or relay any message. This demonstrates the obvious and systemic lack of professionalism within this company. Michael Levi has clearly decided unprofessionalism as the way to cover their ineptitude. Rather than resolving the issue they resorted to threats of collections, something I have absolutely no concern about, given that I was the only one making every reasonable effort to resolve an issue that exists entirely because of OSI's negligent actions. Overall, this company has demonstrated dishonesty, incompetence, and a complete disregard for long standing customers. I am no longer a customer and strongly advise anyone considering their services to look elsewhere. read more

RE;ACCT. 5061512- "JOE" Plumbing Service Repair Dear John and Page, A BIG SHOUT OUT OF APPRECIATION for sending JOE to service our request regarding radiator valve/heat issues in our 1/2 bath & possible replacement of parts in our main water closet in Master Bath. Firstly, JOE greeted us with the brightest "Good Morning, I am Joe". After we explained our plumbing concerns, his assessment of the situation immediately relieved our concerns of what we thought would be a "Pandora's Box". We applaud his professionalism, knowledge & pleasantry. We thank You and Staff as well for your quick response this morning to our request. After 45 years, You always come through for us! Regards, George read more

I was impressed with my first experience with OSI Comfort Specialists. The company responded quickly and gave great support. Steve, the technician, fixed my AC and was professional and knowledgeable. He remained there, confirming all parts worked. I give OSI my highest recommendation due to the kindness, capability, and reliability of the owner, staff, and technicians. I've worked with other companies before, but I immediately felt confident that this one would not only provide an accurate diagnosis, but also fix the issue honestly. I'm sure I will be a long-term customer for heating and cooling. It's the first time I've felt compelled to write a Google recommendation. read more

OSI Comfort Specialists repaired a problem with our heating and hot water wall unit. They returned several times to get the unit up and running. They were professional, skilled, and kept us informed during each step of the process. We have used them since 1999 both in Woodmere and in Long Beach. Top notch service. read more

A family business that truly treats you like family! OSI/Comfort Specialist provide heating, plumbing, electric and AC services! Each technician is excellent! Confident they can fix issues most companies can't! They are honest, trustworthy, reliable and loyal! read more

I can't believe all the issues that continue to be happening. It seems 1-2 a month there is a problem. One service provider says one thing another comes back and says it's fine? We have water spitting from our radiators Or the boiler doesn't turn on ! Each week it's another problem and more money and time . I've lived in private homes most of my life and had oil heat - never did I have so many problems. I happen to notice that I wrote a scathing review several years ago- well nothing is new it just gets worse- Time to switch? Perhaps read more

I live in Manhasset NY. OSI is not the company it used to be. When it was run by the father, Richie Levi, it was a first rate, reliable honest organization. When the father was running the company, it completed a number of successful projects for me including A/C compressor, gas fireplace, minisplit installation, baseboard heating. They had earned my trust and reliance. Unfortunately, it appears that the father has retired and the company is now being run by the son Michael Levi who may have a degree in the relevant trades, but has no idea of how to treat customers. My furnace died in Spring 2023. It used the same ductwork as my A/C so I needed an new furnace unit that would accommodate the A/C coils like my old furnace did. Michael recommended a furnace unit and installed it. It was a fixed price job. The heat worked fine. But the reinstalled A/C coils immediately started to freeze up. I had not experienced this with my old furnace. OSI sent service men twice to try to fix it. The first one blamed it on my filter claiming it was too fine a filter providing too much resistance to air flow. But it was the same filter that worked fine with my old furnace. So it didn't make a lot of sense. Nevertheless, to test that theory, I ran the system without the filter. It still froze up. So they sent another technician who moved a cutoff sensor that was mounted in a position he thought might be mounted too near the A/C coils causing it freezing up. After that change, the A/C coils stopped freezing up even with the air filter in place. As far as I was concerned, all was good. But then, much to my surprise, I received a $548 bill for the 2 service calls to fix the A/C coil freezing problem. It seemed to me that this problem was caused by OSI installing the sensor too close to the A/C coil. I thought this must be a mistake because the furnace job included reinstallation of he A/C unit so that it worked properly. So I called OSI to discuss. The office said I had to speak to Michael Levi. I left a message for Michael asking that he call me. I received no call. So I called again. I was told he was on vacation. So I left a message asking that he call me when he returned. Again, no call, just continued monthly statements claiming I owed $548 for these two service calls to solve the A/C coil freeze up problem that arose after OSI did the installation. I then emailed Michael laying out my objection to the $548 charge. Michael had an assistant Ben Gambino respond. Ben claimed the money was owed because the problem was caused by the air filter. I was astonished. This is the same air filter that worked fine with the old furnace. It is the same filter that i removed before running the system again and experiencing the freeze up that led to the second service call that solved the problem. He offered to reduce the fill by $48 to $500. I replied that I hadn't yet heard a sensible explanation for why any money was owed. If they provide one, I would be willing to discuss it.. I received no response from Ben or Michael or OSI. Based this, it is clear to me that OSI's current management has little regard for customers or truth. Billing and defending billing at all costs is their priority number one regardless of the merits. read more

Quick reliable whenever you need them they're at the door ready to help. I've been with OSI now for a few years and my A.C unit finally went. I called for an appointment and had 3 great gentleman come in and get Me a brand new unit asap. Very well recommended great work read more

I would give them a zero if I could. My water heater is broken and I have CHW. I have been without one for 5 days and they they want to charge me $800 and then they say my soft water unit is in the way and want to charge me another $200 to unhook it. Then they will fuck this up and I will have to get Culligan and give them money to fix there shit. All they had to do is send a second person here to switch it out if one person could not handle it and they refused. I could write a lot more but these guys suck big time and are a complete rip off. As a result I will also cancel CHW. read more

I was a customer, in good standing, for 38 years when Mr. Levy said "go somewhere else" because I did not use 600 gallons a year in my little house.38 years of doing business. What a disgusting way to treat a long-standing customer. GOOD RIDDANCE. read more

We recently used OSI to redo our natural gas feed to our barbecue and set up an Oooni pizza oven. Mike and his team were completely professional for the entire process. The installation was top notch, the pizza oven is awesome and my barbecue is now the burning inferno the manufacturer had touted it to be! Highly Recommend them! read more

As soon as the average person thinks about a contractor of any kind the first thing is to believe you are going to be over charged , receive poor workmanship and at the worst pay a deposit and never see them again. As a long time homeowner and as a trial lawyer who sees the worst of people, I will ask you to forget all horrible thoughts and engage the services of this company. You become family, they are responsive, the service people are gentleman and respectful and polite. The company is a family run business. They treat your family as they would want to be treated. The owners are hands on and most importantly your calls are returned. If 10 is the best rating please know my family gives them a 12 ! Stuart R. Berg read more

Beyond satisfied with OSI .....not only did they do an excellent job installing my oil burner...they filed all the paper work for the rebate....got my check today. Highly recommend this company. Been a customer for years and have NEVER had a problem.. read more

My pool heater broke and the manufacturer recommended these people for a replacement. OSI refused to even quote me a price unless I first signed a maintenance service contract and agreed to get my oil from them. These people are bullies. Do not deal with them. read more

You are obviously looking at this review because you are shopping for a heating/cooling company. Look no further. These ARE the guys. When I started using their services years ago they were simply an oil delivery company. They've added plumbing, electrical, A/C and alarm service to their "menu". They don't "farm it out". They handle everything in-house. Latest dilemma : my water heater "passed away". Michael reviewed the situation, educated me, and arranged the installation of an indirect water heating system. Water and heat are piping hot and better than I can remember. You can break you back looking for a "discount oil company". What you'll find is they really aren't much cheaper and the most important factor won't be there. Think about it being -5 degrees outside and your oil burner stops working. It's happened to me and OSI was at the house in less than 30 minutes on a weekend! Every associate I've interacted with has always been polite, efficient and most important-knowledgeable. I utilize all of their services. Owners are always available to speak with you personally. 4th generation family operated business. They get it. Be smart. Call OSI. read more

You never want to wake up without heat, but that's especially true when it's 19 degrees out. I called at a little after 7am today and after about 3 rings, someone answered. I was a bit thrown off as I was ready to start entering prompts or pounding on 0. I explained that I had no heat, the guy on the phone was nice, took my info and promised he'd get someone out here today. To my surprise the tech showed up at 10am, did his troubleshooting, explained what happened, what he did and by noon, my radiators and were hot and there's hot water. I have the contract with OSI. There was no charge, no run around, just a great job by a friendly tech. Thumps up OSI. Thanks!! read more

OSI has been servicing our heating, air conditioning , plumbing and electric for over 15 years. We are so happy with the service. They are available 24/7 and respond immediately. We recently underwent a home renovation where we would have been lost without their careful planning and guidance. Michael and his team are experts with utmost professionalism. We would highly recommend them for any or all of their services. read more

I had an issue where it was taking 12 hours to cool a new home. OSI agreed to come out and look at it for $155. They noticed dirty clogged filters that needed to be replaced which I was wiling to pay for, they said Freon was getting low and I was willing to pay for that as well. However, because we had two compressors they said they wanted me to pay essentially double for the guy who came down. They wanted me to pay as if they made two separate service calls before he would even look at the second condenser. They also forgot/lied about the original price they quoted of $155 and changed it to $185. (Before the additional $155 for the second condenser.) I just don't understand why they would throw away a customer with these shenanigans. If this was their actual policy you would think they would ask you how many condensers you have when making the appointment and quoting a price. Having two condensers is not unusual. read more

There are no words that can adequately convey what a top-notch company OSI Comfort Specialists is. The steadfast support they give their clients is taken from "the old school" method of business: the company functions at all times with honesty, reliability, professionalism and superb knowledge their field. I have used OSI Comfort Specialists for almost 40 years, and I write with certainty that there is no other company out there that can compare. They're simply THE BEST! read more

My wife and I had used a competitor of OSI for many years (they will remain nameless) but I am so glad that I made the switch and have now been a very satisfied customer of OSI for 17 years. When you depend on heat, hot water and air conditioning it is so important that you use a company that you can depend on. OSI converted my home to central a/c over 10 years ago and today replaced my home's original (over 70 year old) boiler with a high efficiency unit and hot water heater. Mike came to my home and explained what I needed and proposed a very fair price. The technicians, Scott and Russell were superb and left my home spotless. The nicest part was their patience to make sure I was satisfied and to explain all the features about the new system. My advice, don't choose a company that is only interested in selling new products like alarm systems but rather a company who is committed to their clients. I highly recommend OSI for your heating and air conditioning services. read more

OSI Comfort Specialists - New high efficiency boiler - Plumbing Near Me - Oceanside, New York

Been using these guys for the last five years and pretty much uneventful. Never came close to running out of oil. Pricing was good. Always diligent on maintenance and always professional staff from billing to their techs. However we really got to see how awesome OSI when we decided to upgrade our heating system with a new hot water heater. Got a few quotes and OSI beat them by far, but really it was the professionalism and knowledge of the salesperson and the immaculate installation by the installation crew that installed out boiler that has led me to brag about them take the time to shower them with praise here. read more

Just moved into a house with oil and while looking for a company to sign up with for a service contract, the unit stopped functioning. I called OSI and spoke with Michael that was able to come the same day. He came in and explained all the details of service and the billing. He went right to work on my unit and got it all back up and running. I was very pleased with the entire process. read more

We've used OSI for 20 years. This week was the last straw. They serviced our a/c 3 weeks ago. It stopped working on Tuesday (94 degree day). We called and begged them to come fix it. They said they MIGHT be able to get here; they'd let us know in 2 hours. We found someone else who came right away. He said it had stopped working because the drain was clogged and gallons of water had backed up. He fixed it for as much as OSI charged for "service." We told him it had been serviced 3 weeks before and he laughed and said that whatever the "service" was, they didn't clear the drain or it would not have backed up. We told OSI and they called us liars. They said the service was 2 1/2 hours long. The guy worked here for half an hour tops and sat in his truck outside for a while, no way did he work in our home for 2 1/2 hours. Regardless, they refused to do anything for us, so we are done with them. BEWARE, OSI takes your money and does not provide the service they claim. read more

Fantastic response time! During the blizzard last week, our hot water heater died after 17 years. Michael Levy came quickly, also diagnosed a problem with the exhaust to the chimney and had us up and running in 1 day. They removed the old heater and left the area spotless. We have been a customer for over 15 years be a use of their reliability, expertise, professionalism and cleanliness. Extremely professional and courteous! This is the"go to" company for plumbing, heating, A/C and electrical work. Steve G read more

I have to say right off the bat, these guys came in and took over my house from another company I had RL. The other company had me paying over $4 a gallon regardless of market value. The idea was they would come at the drop of a hat if I needed them, not so. Enough about the other guys, OSI has made heating my home way more affordable. I am writing specifically about last night. Came in the house after hours out the temperature was 54 degrees in the house.. after seeing the burner on protective mode, I reset it then it went back to safe mode. Finally looked at tank. Bone dry. Long story short I called them at around 2am. They were at my house by 2:30am. Gave me about 30 gallons and primed my system. Amazing professionalism. Thank you OSI read more

We had Andrey here today to replace our filters clean out the kitchen drain. He is professional and extremely thorough. He pointed out an issue with kitchen drain pipe. He replaced the pipe and cleaned up an inferior plumber prior work. OSI is worth every penny. I highly recommend them! read more

These guys were referred to us by friends when we moved to Long Island and we are so grateful. We've had a number of issues with our AC unit and they are officially on speed dial! I can text or call at any hour and they will reply within minutes. The entire team is extremely knowledgeable, polite and considerate. They take their time to get the job done right and ALWAYS follow up afterwards. I didn't think this type of company existed in this industry and we're lucky to have found them when we needed experts in heating and cooling the most. I highly recommend them if you need any sort of service with heating, cooling, or electric - they are officially part of our "team" that is required to keep a house operating at its best. read more

OSI is not only reliable, but also knowledgeable and professional. My husband and I are recent homeowners, and when it came to choosing an oil company, they were hands down the best after calling multiple other companies. They had excellent customer service and had us scheduled under a contract easily and effortlessly. But what was even more comforting was their response to an emergency we had. Our oil tank sprung a leak one Saturday morning. My husband noticed oil on our basement floor and we immediately called OSI. Someone was at our home within an hour, giving us a replacement tank and assuring us that they would take care of everything. The workers were respectful, professional and knowledgeable. My husband and I watched as they seamlessly solved our problem, what a relief! To top it all off, Michael called to make sure everything went well and we were satisfied customers. Let's just say, we are beyond satisfied! Thank you OSI! read more

These guys have been amazing since the start. Just finished re-zoning my heat from 1 zone to 4 zones. AC re-zoning is next and duct work is next. Great customer service, friendly staff and neat and complete work! read more

This company sent my 88 yo mother a bill for $231.37 for changing 5 lightbulbs in her house. Never discussed the cost with her prior to providing service. She is a regular customer of theirs for oil delivery. They reduced their bill to 160+ on complaint. Still 30+ / light bulb. Outrageous. read more

My air condition unit stopped working and a neighbor of mine highly recommended this company. They were very nice on our initial phone call. They showed up on time as we planned which is a huge bonus! The changed a few things in my air conditioning unit and were very knowledgeable and friendly. read more

I wanted to share with you the wonderful experience I had with you .It was Jan 22 the night of the big snow storm. I returned from work at 4;30 to find that I had no heat! I called your office and they couldn't have been any nicer. Ray came to my house about 5:00 and fixed the problem. He also changed my filters and stayed to make sure the heat stayed on. He was so nice and I really appreciated his kindness and great work. Thank you to all of you! read more
