Emergency Heating Repair FAQ (Essex County, MA)
Quick answers for urgent situations. If you need heat right now, stop reading and call (978) 352-7900.
What qualifies as a heating emergency?
Any situation where you have a complete loss of heat during freezing weather, suspect a natural gas leak, smell burning electrical components, or have an actively leaking boiler. If your home’s indoor temperature is dropping rapidly, you risk frozen, burst pipes—call us immediately.
How fast can you respond to an emergency heating call?
For true emergencies (no heat in below-freezing temps, active water leaks, or safety hazards), we prioritize immediate same-day or night dispatch. Call us directly to get the most accurate arrival time based on our current technician locations in Essex County.
What should I do while waiting for the technician to arrive?
If you smell gas, evacuate the house immediately and call the gas company. For severe boiler leaks, locate and turn off your boiler’s water supply valve. If the system is making violent noises or smells like burning plastic, flip the emergency power switch off (usually a red switch at the top of the basement stairs or right next to the unit).
Will I be charged an extra fee for an emergency call?
Calls dispatched outside of our normal business hours, late at night, or on major holidays typically incur an after-hours diagnostic fee. We are always 100% upfront about this cost on the phone before we send a technician to your door, so there are never any surprises.
Do you carry the right parts on your trucks for emergency repairs?
Yes. Our service vehicles are heavily stocked with universal emergency parts, including hot surface igniters, thermocouples, zone valves, circulator pumps, and pressure switches. This allows us to resolve the vast majority of “no heat” emergencies on the very first visit.
What happens if my heating system is completely unsafe to run?
If a system has suffered a catastrophic failure and poses a life-safety risk (such as a severely cracked heat exchanger leaking carbon monoxide), we are required to shut it down. In these rare worst-case scenarios, we will provide immediate options for an emergency replacement to get your home warm again as soon as possible.
Why is my carbon monoxide alarm going off?
A triggering carbon monoxide (CO) alarm is a life-threatening emergency. Evacuate the home immediately, leave doors open if possible, and call the fire department. Once the home is cleared by first responders, we can safely inspect the heating system to find and fix the dangerous exhaust leak.
