Mount Vernon's attic apartments deserve better than leftovers.
Mount Vernon's two- and three-family houses long ago grew third-floor apartments under their roofs — homes carved from attics, living directly beneath the shingles, and mechanically served last if at all.
The top-floor unit's double season.
An attic apartment takes the roof's full treatment — heat pouring through all summer, warmth escaping all winter — on whatever scraps of the building's systems reach that high. Radiator risers arrive exhausted; cooling usually never arrived at all. We serve these units as the real dwellings they are: dedicated ductless equipment sized for the roof load above them, knee-wall and slope realities built into the design, condensate and line sets routed down buildings that never planned for them, and the landlord's paperwork kept clean where the unit is rented. For owners, a properly served top floor stops being the apartment that turns over every year.
The buildings underneath.
The houses below get the region's standard multifamily care — boiler service and balancing so the lower floors behave, cooling floor by floor, replacements proposed from measured loads — scheduled in advance from Clifton and quoted in writing at the property.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mount Vernon questions, where the attic apartments get served properly.
Our Mount Vernon third-floor apartment is unbearable in July. What actually works up there?
Dedicated equipment sized for the roof above it — not an extension of the building's system, which was never designed to reach that floor. A properly sized ductless installation turns the attic unit into the building's best apartment instead of its worst.
Can the attic unit get heat without touching the building's boiler?
Yes — cold-climate ductless equipment heats as well as cools, giving the top floor independent service and its own control, which most attic units have never had.
Pacific Air also serves neighboring Yonkers and New Rochelle.
