Company Overview

At Potter Heating and Perrone Plumbing, our dedication to quality starts with our team. Our crew is made up of diverse individuals from various backgrounds, yet we unite as a strong company with a shared mission - Keeping You Comfortable!

Our employees apply their skills and experience to offer the best and most economical solutions for our clients. Since 1944, we have been dedicated to serving Central New York and are excited to earn your trust and business.

Potter-Perrone is a full-service Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning provider serving both commercial enterprises and residential properties in the CNY/Syracuse region. Alongside our regular hours (Monday-Friday 7AM-4PM), we offer a 24-hour emergency service policy where prompt assistance, quality installations, and meticulous attention to detail are always prioritized!

Established by Homer Potter in 1944, Potter Heating began as a one-man operation in Fayetteville. Over the years, the company expanded and relocated multiple times. In 1981, after 37 successful years in operation and due to health issues, Homer transferred ownership to M. Suzanne and David Kondra. Homer stayed engaged with the business until his death in 1986.

In addition to the quality of its Bryant equipment, Potter also manufactures much of the ductwork used in its installations. This customization leads to a neater and tighter finished product that ensures years of reliability and durability, enhancing efficiency and comfort for all occupants. The convenience of having a plumbing and heating service under one roof offers significant benefits to our customers. Instead of coordinating with two separate contractors, our clients only need to make one call, streamlining the process!

M. Suzanne DeFuria is the President of Potter Heating & Air Conditioning, a company founded in 1944. The firm offers heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions and services, as well as metal fabrication. In 1985, she also became Vice President of Perrone Plumbing.

In 1986, she was the only woman to complete a mentorship program in the Syracuse Builder's Exchange for women and minorities. She maintains her mentorship relationship with pride, 22 years later. Moreover, Suzanne pursued and earned her heating license, making her one of just two women in CNY with this credential. She actively listens to her team each day, gaining insights from their knowledge. ""They are the professionals, and I discover something new with each discussion.""

Suzanne leads the only woman-owned business in New York that holds 8A certification in heating and air conditioning from the federal government. She made history as the first woman elected President of the Syracuse Heating and Air Conditioning Contractors Association.

Great to work with, very honest and does a good service! Helped my dad and I out. We will continue to use them going forward.

Most unprofessional and rude company I have ever dealt with. Came out to give us a quote in October for some extensive plumbing work and never heard back from them. We followed up every 2 weeks until today. Lost our paperwork and when I called I was treated like I was garbage and was hung up on. Don't waste your time.

I had a problem with my heating. They spoke about the charge included one hour label ahead of time. They spent around half an hour and the bill was charged for one hour and half for label. The problem, however, was not resolved and the house did not have heat after 2 days again.
They sent another repair man saying needed a part which was on warrantee and I was not charged for it but for the label. When the heating was repaired installing the new piece, the company charged me a high amount for the part and the label . They did not assume any responsibility for the poor job of the first time and charged me two times, a total of a high amount using my credit card registered by them ahead of time.

5 yr customer. Annual tuneups of furnace and a/c. Quality service, swift response to all requests.
Yesterday experienced furnace quitting on me. Thermostat not responding despite battery change. Called at 8am and had tech in my home by 2.

Ryan replaced existing thermostat with one far simpler, and with large lighted font. Proceeded to completely tuneup and clean unit. Even helped me with suggestions on redirecting excessive heat on my second level.
Immediately put on booties to keep floor area free of debris, vacuumed everywhere too. Excellent customer service, upstanding employees.

That were able to come out the same day and assist us with a severely clogged drain. Worth every penny to have someone come out and know what they're doing

Highly satisfied! Our AC decided to stop working yesterday and of course on one of the hottest days of summer. Got home last night after 7pm to a warm and toasty house. Received a call back from Tim, the on-call technician, described the problem and made an appointment for morning. He arrived before the scheduled time, looked at the AC unit, fixed and tested it and was done in less than 1/2 hour. Answered all my questions and gave me some tips about air filters. Couldn't have asked for better service. Highly recommend this company, and plan to call them back for furnace maintenance in the fall.

Furnace went out on a Sat morning, tech Don told me it was an electical issue and I needed to call an electrician. After paying $200 for 18 minutes (that's more than $600/hr, people!), he left and I was still without heat. I decided to change out one fuse in the panel and viola! I have heat but still feel like they need to fix their rates, not competitive for suboptimal service. Call someone else.

Very responsive, thorough and didn't empty my bank account. I have a very old house with old pipes. They didn't touch the antique tin ceiling near the leak. I highly recommend and will use them again myself.

This company had sent over a plumber with a bad attitude, was unable to determine the exact problem of a leak from a bathtub faucet, and did absolutely no work. He left saying he still had to charge me. I was in no way advised of a service call fee either on the phone with the two women I called and scheduled an appointment for, the first girl never got my service call listed when I called the first time. Now they sent a bill I refused to pay to collections. Not a very reliable organization.

These people screwed me over. Do not hire!! Their tech left a bleed valve open on a radiator. It leaked for four days while I was out of town. I came back to find paint sloughing off the walls of the room under the leak, original 1918 woodwork warped, ceiling and walls wet and full of mold. I called the guy back from potter and he saw what had happened and said, did I leave that valve open? I'm so sorry. We had a talk about how I hoped he wouldn't lose his job. My contactor and insurance adjuster agreed that the damage was $9500. My insurance covered all buy deductible, thanks travelers! But I'm left 1k out of pocket. My insurance asked theirs to compensate and Potter said no, that we have no evidence it was their fault and that my conversation with the guy was only hearsay. They know what happened and they are in the wrong. All I can do is warn others about them and that a company having insurance doesn't mean they will use it fairly. I can't believe business owners could be so unethical. I still hope the worker did not lose his job.
