FAQs
How quickly can you reach my home in Harriman for emergency heat repair?
Because our service fleet is stationed throughout the Harriman area, a certified technician is usually at your door within 60 minutes of your call—often sooner during normal business hours. We monitor call volume and traffic patterns in real-time, so the dispatcher always sends the closest available crew to minimize your wait time.
What types of heating systems do you repair?
Our technicians are factory-trained to diagnose and repair a full range of residential and light-commercial heating equipment, including gas and oil furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, ductless mini-splits, and hybrid dual-fuel systems. We also handle thermostat issues, zoning controls, and indoor air-quality accessories tied into your heating system.
Are you available 24/7, and is there an extra charge for after-hours service?
Yes. We provide around-the-clock emergency coverage, 365 days a year—including nights, weekends, and holidays. There is a modest after-hours diagnostic fee that covers the added labor costs of staffing an overnight crew, but we waive any overtime rate once we begin the actual repair; parts and standard labor rates remain the same as daytime service.
What warning signs indicate I should call for rapid heat repair instead of waiting?
Call us immediately if you notice any of the following: no heat or only cool air from the vents, unusual odors (burning, gas, or electrical smells), loud or grinding noises, short cycling (heater turns on and off rapidly), a sudden spike in utility bills, or visible water or refrigerant leaks around the unit. These symptoms can signify safety hazards or component failures that worsen quickly.
Will the technician have the parts needed to fix my heater on the first visit?
In most cases, yes. Each service vehicle is stocked with over 1,000 of the most commonly used furnace and heat-pump components—igniters, blower motors, control boards, capacitors, thermostats, and more. For less common parts, we maintain a local warehouse in Harriman and can usually secure the item the same day. Our "first-call-fix" rate is over 85%.
How can I keep my heating system from breaking down again after the repair?
Schedule annual preventive maintenance, replace air filters every 1–3 months, keep supply and return vents unblocked, and install a programmable or smart thermostat to avoid temperature swings. During our repair visit, the technician will also inspect for underlying issues, calibrate the system, and provide a written report with personalized tips to extend equipment life and maintain peak efficiency.
