After years working for other heating & air conditioning companies, I decided it was time to go out on my own. Starting Home Repairs by Richard was a dream come true. I just passed the one year mark on 6/1/09 and I’m extremely happy to be able to do right for my customers. I’m guessing you are fed up with heating & air conditioning service companies that promise the moon & don’t deliver. How many times have you called in the middle of the night for emergency service because your heating system went out only to be told no one was available until morning? If you call me at 3AM because your heat is out, I won’t tell you I’ll be there 6 hours later, I’ll be there probably within 45 minutes.
I’m an honest man trying to make an honest living & I treat my customers as I would want my own family treated. I offer prompt & reliable heating and air conditioning service, maintenance & installation in Nassau County at an affordable price. I answer all phone calls, no answering service to deal with. There are no service techs that just do the job for a paycheck. I take great pride in my work & when you deal with my company, you deal directly with me. My overhead is low so I can pass the savings on to you.

Happy Birthday Nikola Tesla!

When it comes to electricity, everyone knows the names Edison and Westinghouse. But there is another important name, Nikola Tesla. Without him, life would have been much different today.

Induction motors, alternating current, polyphase alternating current systems, the rotating magnetic field, bladeless steam turbines, all invented by Tesla.

The inventor of alternating current. Mr. Tesla's invention lights the entire world today. He also created the device that converts the electricity to mechanical power so we can use all of the equipmnt us have. He also created the first hydroelectric plant up in Niagra Falls, NY. The US Supreme Court deemed that Marconi's patent for wireless technology was invalid, the contribution to it's creation made by Tesla being greater.

The remains of Tesla's Wardenclyffe lab, built by JP Morgan and designed by Stanford White, is here on Long Island in Shoreham, near the now decommissioned nuclear power plant of the same name.

Happy Birthday Nikola Tesla, and thank you.


Thank you to the Tesla Society for a wonderful website which you can see at http://www.teslasociety.com/biography.htm for a detailed history of Mr. Tesla and his genius.
