WE GO WAY BACK.

When Berry’s began, the world of HVAC-R was eons away from its technological advancement of today. With a humble beginning in the refrigeration servicing business, it continued as two brothers with a skill and an ever evolving dream, moving on to become the industry’s coveted commercial HVAC experts. Each with a unique skill set and mindset, the team redefined a family owned business on many levels, quickly catapulting from refrigeration pros to one of NYC’s most reputable air conditioning and heating firms. In fact, the brothers made a pact to never outgrow their personalized service, a promise they still keep, along with their burgeoning client base. Excelling in the ranks as #1Mitsubishi Diamond Dealer in the region, the firm boasts an in-house manufacturing plant with fabrication of ductwork for most efficient unit compatibility.

VALUE TAKE PRECEDENCE

Value takes on many forms at Berry’s, but perhaps its greatest attribute is that of efficient value engineering, a task that its CEO, Berry Kaufman, relegates to no one. “I personally review, negotiate and source the VE concepts, because every contract has my name on it, and thus my final approval”. With that authoritarian mission, no slight minutiae is overlooked by the team or tossed aside by its founders. 

EXCLUSIVITY MEETS CRAFTSMANSHIP

The largest Mitsubishi Diamond Dealer in the Tristate area, Berry’s is known for its exclusivity as a vendor and authenticity as a manufacturer. With all of its ductwork and fabrication done in house for nearly a decade, accuracy and reliability are paramount. Featuring craftsmanship unlike any other HVAC provider, the founders at Berry’s are personally affiliated with the attention to detail that’s become legendary.

why leadership matters

Berry Kaufman
CEO

With a go-getter persona and a passion for mechanical precision, Berry is the epitome of the decades long overnight success story. Hard working and hard core, he leaves no aspect of the business to chance. Instead, he believes in finding solutions like others find problems, never being afraid to get his hands dirty in the process. With an obsession for quality and value, Berry lives by the mindset of ‘do as I do and as I say’, playing an active role in the company’s day to day operations. Doing what he does best, his 25 years of hands-on expertise have left no time for spare time and every moment for generating client value. A large part of Berry’s vision stems from the knowledge factor, where he’s known for the mantra ‘everything can work, if you know how’. Inspired by Abco’s CEO, Michael Santer, Berry treats clients like family and mishaps like learning curves.

Abe Kaufman
COO

Everyone knows a task is as good as done when Abe puts his name on it, building a stellar client rapport throughout his 2+ decades of expertise. Joining his Brother, Berry, in the refrigeration business, Abe introduced the HVAC aspect which catapulted the business to its industry dominance of today. An expert in troubleshooting and system failure prevention, Abe is most known for his integrity in business, landing high profile accounts due to his professionalism and honesty in his business practices. Overseeing project efficiency via periodic meetings and on site installations, Abe’s perfectionism demands 100% accuracy at every phase. Featuring over 100 high rise projects in the Berry’s Cooling portfolio to date, Abe is confident in his team and proud of his partnership. ‘I couldn’t have sourced the globe for a more competent partner’, he says of his brother, Berry. Together, they have built an HVAC empire, completely configured around a customer centric mindset.
