Don't purchase your PTAC unit from Stanley Ruth. In my building, they got the coop board to recommend them to shareholders, when installing PTAC units was mandated. That's over 300 apartments! They must have sweetened the deal too, because our quote was much lower than the other 2 companies the board recommended. Mine was installed 2 years ago, and never worked properly from day one. I had them come back at least 3 times that summer. First because the sensors weren't calibrated properly. According to the self-proclaimed more... read more

Stanley Ruth is the BEST AC company in New York. They are thorough, honest, clean, polite, and customer service better than great. I recommend them over anyone else. Carole C

They are contractors to our apartment rental. Mostly rude staff / handymen they even have the guts to be arrogant when you ask a question (i.e to understand the problems occurring in our aircon-heaters). They came several times to our apartment and rarely resolved the problem. Feels like a lottery of which handyman comes in and if he is nice/professional/can actually fix something. ("I have a feeling they just open up the units and tinker and you have no idea what they are doing") Then they put the blame on the building mana... read more

I used Stanley Ruth to install PVAC A/Cs in my apartment. They were fine, if not terribly responsive. Then they offered a 1-year service contract to maintain the A/Cs for $1000. I actually took them up on this, thinking if it was so expensive, it must be necessary. However, what they did over the next year was to show up twice and look at the A/Cs! They did not even open they systems up. Sum total of time spent maintaining my A/Cs? 30 min for the whole year. Needless to say I would not use them again. But the rub comes this ... read more

Stanley Ruth did the install of our in wall air-conditioners several years ago. The install was fine, though expensive. We have had yearly service contracts with them since. They are happy to bill for and collect the money, and their routine service is OK, but their customer service for problems, etc. is not good. Reaching them is difficult - often takes several calls. Don't even bother leaving a message. I currently have a non functioning AC unit in my kitchen. I called 4 days ago and got an appt with a 3 hr window for toda... read more

I am NOT happy with this company. Sure, their prices are reasonable (sort of) but the customer service sucks. They have literally never returned one of my phonecalls ever. Claims of their voicemail system being down only last so long...this is weeks now. The only way I can get anything done with them is to keep calling and calling and insist to speak to a live person. Also, I was without my main living room air conditioner for over a week during the last week of August (HOT!) because they just pretty much forgot they were su... read more

We used Stanley Ruth Co. some years back for a big job when we renovated our apt. It was a costly job, installing new A/C-Heat through-the-wall units. They are not an inexpensive company but their service was very good. We have used them over the years for servicing the units and even though they had to return several times to make things right, they did so in a professional manner. More recently we attempted to use their service again and had a terrible time with the service dept. Completely frustrating. Finally wrote to th... read more

Ridiculous, terrible service. Not only did they continue to push back their appointment time (after I had to check in, not them letting me know) and FINALLY showed up 2.5 hours later, but they charged an unbelievable hourly rate for just 10 minutes of service. I called for a leak to be fixed but had requested general maintenance since they were coming anyway. Service men didn't have record of me asking for that, then proceeded to have the nerve to ask for $225 for 10 minutes. Incompetent and unreliable, and now I can't eve... read more

We just had Stanley Ruth and Co. install 4 through the wall units in our pre war apartment and they did an excellent job. They were effeciient, clean and on time, The units look great and are functioning well. I wiould highly recommend them for converting window units to through the wall.. These units, made by LG, are quiet and work nicely for heat and AC Richard Ruth, our contact person at tis company, was very helpful. We had complicated landmark issues and city filing, etc, etc, and he and architect Ray Lockwood navigated... read more
