No heat in a Queens winter is an emergency. We repair gas and oil furnaces, ignition systems, blowers and thermostats, and every heating call includes a carbon-monoxide safety check.
Not every Queens home has a furnace — if your heat comes from radiators, see boiler repair and heat pump service. Planning ahead for summer? We also handle AC repair and ductless installs.
Signs you need heating & furnace repair
- Furnace won't start or keeps shutting off
- Weak airflow, or some rooms stay cold
- A burning smell or loud banging
- Thermostat isn't controlling the system
- Higher heating bills with no change in use
How it works
- Safety check, then diagnose ignition, burners, blower and controls.
- Flat price before work begins.
- Repair with common parts carried on the van.
- Test run and CO check.
What affects the cost of furnace repair?
Every job gets a flat, written price after diagnosis. These are the main factors that move that price:
- Which component failed — igniter, flame sensor, blower motor or control board
- Fuel type (gas or oil) and the furnace's age
- Whether ductwork or venting needs work
- After-hours response during a cold snap
How to prevent problems
- Replace the furnace filter regularly during heating season
- Book a tune-up every fall
- Keep supply and return vents unblocked
- Install carbon-monoxide detectors on every floor

Should I repair or replace my furnace?
If it's over 15 years old and needs a major part, replacement is often the better value. We'll give you both prices honestly.
Do you offer tune-ups?
Yes — a fall tune-up is the best way to avoid a no-heat call on the coldest night of the year.
