Staten Island · Veteran-owned · Est. 1972
Michael and Anthony DiBenedetto run the same shop their family opened in 1972 — a 17-person crew, same-day service across the Island, and the borough's rarest asset: our own sheet-metal shop.
The house map
This is the house half of Staten Island lives in. Touch a system — the whole circuit lights up, and one more click gets you the crew that fixes it.
The shop on Broad Street
Community II is a second-generation, veteran-owned shop in Stapleton — father and son, Michael and Anthony DiBenedetto, with a crew that customers keep hiring for thirty years straight.
What we do
Every job below is done by our own technicians, backed by a sheet-metal shop that fabricates the ductwork, transitions, and plenums other companies wait a week to order.
AC Repair
Same-day diagnosis for central air that quits on the wrong day. Compressors, refrigerant leaks, electrical, frozen coils.
→
Central Air Installation
Right-sized replacements with a real load calculation — not a guess off the old unit's nameplate. Free written estimates within 24 hours.
→
Ductless Mini Splits
The fix for Staten Island houses that never had ducts — row houses, additions, attic rooms. Con Edison rebates can cover a real chunk of it.
→
Boilers & Radiators
Steam and hot-water heat is half this borough. We repair, repipe, and replace boilers, radiators, and baseboard — and it's some of our proudest work.
→
Furnaces
Repair and replacement of gas furnaces sized for how Staten Island houses are actually built — tight closets, finished basements, and all.
→
Heat Pumps
Cold-climate heat pumps that heat in January and cool in July on one system. We'll tell you honestly whether your house is a good candidate.
→
Water Heaters
Tank and tankless. If the shower's gone cold, we can usually swap a standard tank the same day you call.
→
Emergency Service
No heat in a cold snap or no AC in a heat wave is not a “we'll see you Thursday” problem. Call — a person answers.
→
The sheet-metal shop
Behind the office on Broad Street there’s a working sheet-metal shop: a plasma table, brakes, and benches where our crew cuts and forms ductwork, transitions, and custom plenums to fit your actual house — not the closest standard size.
That’s why our installs fit tight closets and odd-angled basements without a week of waiting on a supplier. It’s also why the seams line up.
Commercial & light industrial
Storefronts, restaurants, offices, warehouses. Rooftop units replaced and serviced, with the curbs, transitions, and ductwork cut in our own sheet-metal shop — across Staten Island, Brooklyn, and nearby New Jersey.
Commercial HVACCurrent offers
Mention this offer when you book. One per visit, any service we run. No expiration surprises — if it's on this page, it's good.
Replacing a boiler, furnace, or AC system? We come out, measure, and put a real number on paper — usually by tomorrow.
Word of mouth
“I have used Community II for over 30 years for my heating and air conditioning needs. They quickly respond when called… Because of their skill, diligence and professionalism, I have few, if any, problems between my semiannual tune-up visits.”
“[Community II] did an outstanding job — quick response, quality work, fair pricing, and excellent customer service. Easily the best HVAC company I've dealt with.”
“They came with a crew led by John… everyone was on point and CLEAN (which, after doing this project — no one is clean!!). They really made me feel like family.”
Maintenance plans
Our longest-running customers are on a maintenance contract: two seasonal tune-ups a year, priority scheduling when something does go wrong, and the same techs who already know your system. One reviewer has been on the plan for thirty years. Another keeps one for her elderly father's house so she can stop worrying from two hours away.
Straight answers
Yes, and it's most of what we do in season. We run 17 people out of Stapleton and answer the phone 8 AM to 10 PM, seven days a week. No-heat and no-cooling calls jump the line. If we can't get to you today, we say so on the phone — not at 6 PM.
All the time. A huge share of Staten Island homes — especially north of the expressway — run on steam or hot-water boilers, and boiler work has been part of this company since 1972. Repairs, repiping, radiator and baseboard work, and full replacements, including Weil-McLain systems.
We're a Bryant Factory Authorized Dealer, and we also install Trane, Carrier, Rheem, and Goodman equipment, plus Weil-McLain boilers. We service every major brand no matter who installed it.
We quote the diagnostic fee on the phone before anyone is dispatched — no surprises at the door — and right now we're taking $25 off service calls. Before any repair starts you get a written price, and if the smarter move is a repair instead of a replacement, that's what we'll tell you.
Con Edison's NYS Clean Heat program pays real money toward qualifying air-source heat pump and mini split installs. The rules change year to year, so we price it into your free estimate and show you the current numbers rather than promising a figure here.
All of Staten Island, every day — from St. George to Tottenville — plus Bay Ridge and nearby Brooklyn, and New Jersey across the Bayonne, Goethals, and Outerbridge crossings — Bayonne, Elizabeth, Perth Amboy, Woodbridge and the towns around them. Full service area here.
