Saranac's unique heating challenges

About 163 nights a year below freezing, when aging heating systems give out

The oldest blocks in town run heating systems decades older than the newer builds toward Dannemora

First frost typically lands around October 16

Seasonal timing

With first frost around October 16, the burner accumulates enough runtime in the weeks after that date for a marginal sensor to start nuisance-tripping.

Common questions

How much does heating repair cost?

It depends on the job and how bad the problem is. That is why the first step is a phone call. Describe the problem and get your free estimate on the phone, with upfront pricing.

Will I talk to a real person?

Yes, you will.

Do I need to fill out a form?

No forms and no waiting on emailed quotes. One phone call is all it takes.

Can I get help at night or on a weekend?

We have heating pros ready to help families in the community 24/7, but moment-to-moment availability depends on demand. Call to find out how soon we can service your home.

Should I wait to call?

You already know that heating problems don't go away on their own. And waiting just increases the risks to your house. Heating pros see this hesitation all the time. Instead of regretting not calling earlier, just make that 2-minute call now and get your free estimate.

People also ask

What is a cad cell?

It is the light-sensitive eye that tells an oil burner control whether a flame is actually present. If it can't see the flame, the control shuts the burner down as a safety measure.

Why would it fail when the burner is fine?

Soot or oil film on its face blocks the light. The flame is there; the control simply cannot confirm it, so it locks out.

Is cleaning it part of annual service?

It is, along with the nozzle, electrodes and filter. Skipping annual oil service is where most of these nuisance lockouts come from.

Should a lockout be reset repeatedly?

No. One reset is reasonable, and after that the system should be left off at the thermostat until a technician sees it, which is the same advice given around Ellenburg.
