Emergency Heating Repair FAQs

What should I do while I wait for a technician?

Set the thermostat so you know the moment heat returns, open cabinet doors on exterior-wall plumbing, run a trickle of water from the farthest faucet, and only run space heaters on their own circuits. If you smell gas or oil, leave the house and call the utility first.

My boiler or furnace shows an error code — can you help over the phone?

Sometimes. Have the code, the brand, and a photo of the display ready when you call. Simple lockouts can occasionally be reset safely; if not, the technician arrives already knowing what parts to bring.

How long before pipes freeze in a house with no heat?

Pipes in exterior walls and unheated basements can freeze within a few hours once indoor temperatures drop well below freezing outside. That is why a no-heat situation should not wait — a frozen pipe turns a repair into a flood.
