When to Call for a Repair

As a local company, we understand how nerve-racking it can be when your heater goes out. You might be wondering if there are warning signs to be aware of that can tip you off that something is amiss with your HVAC system. The answer is, "Yes!"


The following signs may indicate that your system needs repairs:

  • Difficulty turning the heater on 
  • Frequent adjustments to the thermostat 
  • Odd noises and odors 
  • Short-cycling 
  • Poor indoor air quality 
  • Cold air blowing
  • Yellow pilot light 
  • Clogged or dirty filters 
  • Increasing energy bills

Winter temperatures in New York can reach dangerous levels. That's why we strive to provide our customers with prompt attention. We offer first-class
installation services when you're ready to upgrade your system or need a quick repair.


Replace Your Air Filter

One of the most effective ways to keep your heating system running smoothly is to replace your air filter regularly. This simple and inexpensive step can prevent costly repairs in the future. Regardless of the model and brand of your HVAC system, adequate airflow is a must for proper functioning. We recommend changing the filter every few months to ensure your unit operates at its best.


A clogged filter prevents the heating system from functioning at its best. Over time, this puts an unnecessary strain on your unit, which leads to breakdowns. If the air filter becomes too full of debris, it can cause your unit to shut down completely.
