Schenectady's unique heating challenges

About 132 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 Scotia

First frost typically lands around October 19

Seasonal timing

First frost typically arrives around October 19, and the weeks after that date are when a tank that sat idle all summer starts feeding sediment into the fuel line.

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

How often should the fuel filter and nozzle on an oil burner be changed?

Once a heating season is the usual interval, done as part of an annual burner service. Skipping it is the single most common reason an older unit locks out during a cold snap.

Can a basement oil tank be inspected without draining it?

Yes. A technician checks the tank's exterior for weeping seams, sweating and pitting along the bottom seam, and can pull a sample from the bottom to see how much water has collected.

Why does a burner lock out and then run fine after being reset?

An intermittent lockout usually means a marginal component, a partly restricted fuel line, or a dirty cad cell that reads flame inconsistently. Repeated resets stack unburned fuel in the chamber, so it's better to have the cause found than to keep pressing the button.

Is a modern boiler worth it in a home built around 1938 in Guilderland or here?

It can be, though the payback depends on the existing distribution piping and how much of the heat loss comes from the shell rather than the boiler. A technician does a load calculation before that question can be answered honestly.
