How Much Does Heating Service Cost?
Heating service costs vary by system type and the actual problem. A diagnostic visit is a flat fee that gets credited toward the repair if you proceed. For installs, we give you 2–3 options at different price points so you can make the right call for your home.
Heating FAQs
My furnace stopped working — what should I check before calling?
Three quick things: (1) thermostat is set to HEAT, batteries fresh, (2) the furnace switch (looks like a light switch on the furnace) is ON, (3) the breaker hasn't tripped. If those are all good, give us a call — we'll diagnose it.
How long does a furnace last in Newburgh winters?
Most gas furnaces last 15–20 years in the Hudson Valley. Boilers often last longer (25–30 years for cast iron). After 15 years, efficiency starts dropping and breakdown frequency rises — that's when we start the repair-vs-replace conversation.
How often should I have my heating system serviced?
Once a year, ideally in early fall before peak season. An annual tune-up catches small issues before they become problems and keeps efficiency high (which lowers your fuel bill).
Should I switch to a heat pump?
Heat pumps have come a long way and now work well in cold climates. For most Hudson Valley homes, a hybrid setup (heat pump for spring/fall + existing furnace for deep winter) is the sweet spot. We'll model the savings honestly — sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it doesn't.
What's the most efficient heating system for a Hudson Valley home?
It depends on your fuel availability, ductwork, and budget. Modulating gas furnaces (96%+ AFUE), high-efficiency boilers (90%+ AFUE), and cold-climate heat pumps all earn their keep here. We'll size and recommend based on your actual home, not a sales script.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
Yes — annual plans cover heating tune-ups, AC tune-ups, priority scheduling, and a discount on repairs. Most clients save more than the plan costs in their first repair call.
My carbon monoxide alarm went off — what now?
Get everyone outside, call 911 if anyone has symptoms (headache, nausea, dizziness), then call us. We come out, find the source, and fix it. Do NOT re-enter the house until it's clear. CO is deadly serious.
Can you service older boilers in 100-year-old Hudson Valley homes?
Yes — we work on older homes constantly. Many Hudson Valley houses still have steam or hot-water boilers from the 1970s and 80s. We service them, repair them, and replace them with modern equivalents that fit the existing piping.
