The warehouse and distribution space occupies 8,500 s/f, with the second-floor sales office occupying 4,000 s/f. Following the Gil-Bar’s team grand opening event, the store front is now open Monday through Friday 8am – 5pm all clientele is encouraged to stop by and check out the parts & distribution center. 

“This expansion is representative of the growing importance of HVAC in New York as the city continues to pursue its ambitious climate change goals and rely on more innovative technologies,” said Joe Sbarra, founding partner, Gil-Bar. “Our firm is deeply grateful that our partners and clients continue to rely on us to perform the top tier HVAC solutions, and we look forward to serving the thriving neighborhood of Long Island City through this fantastic new warehouse.”
