Troy's unique heating challenges

About 129 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 Watervliet

First frost typically lands around October 18

Seasonal timing

Around October 18 is the median first frost, and a conversion that was marginal all along tends to declare itself within a few weeks of that date rather than in midwinter.

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

Why does the top floor of an old Troy two-family stay cold while the first floor overheats?

In a converted system that's usually a flow problem rather than a heat-output problem: the loop takes the path of least resistance and starves the upper emitters. Balancing valves, a properly sized circulator or a second zone are what a technician looks at.

Are the original radiators in these houses still usable after a boiler swap?

Usually yes, provided they were converted correctly and hold pressure. A technician pressure tests the system before committing to new equipment, the same check done on similar houses in Green Island.

What causes banging in the pipes when heat comes on?

On a hot-water system it's normally trapped air or expansion against a tight hanger. On a remaining steam system it points to condensate that can't drain back, which is a pitch or venting issue and needs a technician rather than adjustment by hand.

Does a shared wall in a row house change how heating is diagnosed?

It does. Heat transfer between attached units masks an underperforming system, so the load calculation has to account for the neighbouring units, a point that applies just as much on the hill streets toward Brunswick and Menands instead of treating the house as free-standing.
