MOST RECENT June 2026:
Weltman has been purchased by Princeton Air. They have been really great. A seamless transition on the customer side. Eric was just here to put in a new anti-scaling system and a pressure relief valve for the house. Very happy!

UPDATE:
Now in our home for almost 8 years and Weltman has never disappointed! Chris L came today and was completely professional and quick for our yearly inspection of our furnace before the cold winter! Itโ€™s great to know they keep great notes and, almost, know more about our system than we do!

Weltman will always make it right if something is wrong. They will also get to you ASAP! We have been customers since we bought our home 3 years ago and have been completely satisfied!
Teck was knowledgeable and courteous
The technician Alfredo is great
I was recommended Princeton Air by a friend and Iโ€™m very happy that I was. I had a hvac and furnace system that was 25 years old and in dire need of replacement.
Chris from the company came out very promptly and did a full review, taking the time to take me through the different options. From there we reached an agreement and within one week the team came out and did a full dual zone system replacement.
I was blown away by the professionalism and indeed sheer hard work of the installation team. They arrived at 08.30am and finished at 8.30pm working tirelessly to complete the job in one day. A huge thank you to Princeton air, Chris and the install team -Jorge Vizueta, John Jaramillo, Juan Torres and Jhonny Anacona for a really cool air conditioning experience. Thank you!
The repair man, Dominic came out this morning to inspect our AC system. He was extremely knowledgeable, incredibly kind, and explained things very well. I work in construction and can tell you that Dominic is one of the best Iโ€™ve seen in years. Princeton air is very lucky to have him as an employee as he is SUCH AN ASSET to your company.

I also want to give a special thanks to Leah the customer service representative I spoke to. Also extremely kind and helpful. I have had the worst two weeks of my life and two strangers taking the time to kind made my heart smile. Thanks again Leah and Dominic.
Norman was great!!! He has come before. His advice and work were great!!!! Unfortunately Princeton Air, formerly a family run business, has been bought by a large corporate group, and we have chosen not to use them any longer
The technician was thorough, knowledgeable and professional. He also called for an ETA and was punctual.
I wanted to say a BIG Thank you to Princeton Air and Jesus C for coming to our rescue when AC in our house wasnโ€™t working (despite it working fine 3 weeks ago). My daughter and her friends arrived on Friday afternoon for a girls weekend. Even though the compressor unit outside was running, no air was coming through the vents inside the house. After talking her through a few things over the phone (none of which resolved the issue), I called Princeton Air.
Despite it being already 5pm on Friday, they dispatched a technician who arrived within an hour. Jesus C called me several times to keep me updated about the repair. Within 45 min, the air was blowing COLD!!
I highly recommend this company. I am beyond grateful for the prompt and professional service we received.
Thanks so much for the EXCELLENT service from Norman. He was very knowledgeable and so friendly. Really nice guy. Thank you Norman and thank you Princeton Air.
Just to let you know everything here is fine. Norman was wonderful!! Helpful and very friendly. Thank you Norman and thank you Princeton Air.
Great service , Ryan was fantastic
We recently had a new AC unit installed by Princeton Air and had a great experience from start to finish. The installation went smoothly, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of our home, and we are very satisfied with the quality of the work.
We did have one minor issue after the installation, but Dominic McGinley responded quickly and took care of it right away. His prompt service and commitment to making sure everything was working properly really stood out.
Overall, weโ€™re very happy with Princeton Air and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for HVAC services.
Excellent technician with thorough explanation of the problem
Dillion was very pleasant ,He informed me what he was going to do what Needed to be done and afterwards Everything that was completed
Jorhe arrived and listened to what I needed in this routine service call and when he finished all my questions were answered & for the 1st time Iโ€™m able to understand the function and area each thermostat controls!
Cheers for you Jorhe!

happy mother with two happy children

Emergency Service for All Types of Cooling Systems

From Menlo Park to Oak Tree, Edison homes feature a wide range of cooling systems that match the area’s diverse residential landscape.

At Princeton Air, our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair all major cooling system types throughout Edison. When your system stops working, you can trust our team to identify the issue quickly and restore emergency cooling service with the right solution for your equipment.

Most Edison homes rely on central AC as their primary cooling solution. Refrigerant issues, electrical faults, compressor failures, or frozen coils can cause system breakdowns that quickly spread discomfort throughout the entire house.

Our technicians bring experience with all major central AC brands and configurations to Edison neighborhoods. They work efficiently to restore whole-home cooling when these critical failures occur.

Heat pumps provide year-round comfort for Edison homes, handling both heating and cooling through a precise refrigerant cycle and coordinated mechanical operation. Component wear, electrical faults, or refrigerant loss can disrupt this process and cause performance to drop sharply. Our Princeton Air technicians understand heat pump operation inside and out. This allows them to identify problems quickly and finish repairs efficiently.

Ductless mini-split systems have gained popularity throughout Edison neighborhoods, particularly for home additions, finished basements, and rooms where traditional ductwork isn’t practical. A malfunctioning indoor air handler or outdoor unit can impact a single zone or compromise the entire system based on how it’s configured. Our technicians quickly identify problems with these ductless systems. They restore the whisper-quiet, energy-efficient cooling that makes them so appealing to Edison homeowners.

Zoned systems deliver precise temperature control to different areas of your Edison home, but malfunctioning dampers, thermostats, or control panels create hot spots and rooms that refuse to cool properly. Our technicians evaluate the complete system to pinpoint exactly where the breakdown is happening. Then they restore balanced comfort throughout your home.


Limit Future Issues When You Join the Princeton Air Comfort Club

Most cooling emergencies are the result of small issues that went undetected until the system finally gave out.

The Princeton Air Comfort Club is our annual maintenance program designed to catch those issues before they become emergencies. Members receive scheduled seasonal inspections and tune-ups that keep cooling systems running efficiently and reliably through the hottest months.

Regular professional maintenance improves performance, extends equipment life, and significantly reduces the likelihood of a breakdown on the worst possible day. For homeowners who want fewer emergencies and lower long-term costs, Comfort Club membership is a smart investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an AC emergency in Edison, NJ?

A cooling system failure becomes an emergency when your Edison home can’t maintain comfortable temperatures during warm weather. This includes units that won’t start, systems running without producing cool air, strange noises or odors from the equipment, or frequent cycling that prevents reaching your thermostat setting. Edison’s humid summer climate makes these breakdowns particularly uncomfortable. Getting emergency AC repair in Edison quickly prevents additional strain on both your family and the failing equipment.

What steps should I take while waiting for a technician?

Start by verifying your thermostat is on “cool” with the temperature set below the current room reading. Then check for a clogged air filter or tripped circuit breaker since these simple issues cause many cooling failures in Edison homes. Pull blinds closed on windows facing the sun and avoid running heat-producing appliances like ovens or dryers to keep indoor temperatures from climbing further. Turn the system off immediately if you hear strange sounds or see ice buildup on the unit. Leave it off until your technician can safely diagnose the problem.

Why is my AC running continuously without cooling the house?

Your AC runs constantly but doesn’t cool your Edison home? The problem typically stems from low refrigerant, a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, compressor failure, or an undersized system struggling with New Jersey’s summer heat and humidity. Leaky ductwork can also cause this issue by allowing conditioned air to escape before reaching your living areas. Our technicians will examine each component systematically to pinpoint the exact problem and get your cooling back to normal operation.

How does Edison’s humidity affect air conditioning systems?

High humidity levels in Edison and throughout Middlesex County create extra work for air conditioning systems because they must pull moisture from the air while cooling. This dual function puts additional stress on compressors and refrigerant components, particularly in older units where parts may already be showing wear. The moisture in the air also makes your home feel warmer than the actual temperature. This leads many homeowners to lower their thermostat settings and push their AC systems even harder during New Jersey’s humid summer months.

Is it worth repairing an older air conditioner, or should I replace it?

Age, repair cost, and the specific problem all factor into whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your Edison home. Repair costs hit about half the price of a new unit? Or your system is over 10-15 years old with frequent breakdowns? Replacement typically becomes the smarter financial choice. Our technicians will assess your AC’s actual condition and explain both repair and replacement options honestly. This gives you the clear information needed to choose what works best for your situation and budget.
