Quick answer

No heat at night or on a weekend. Boilers, furnaces and heat pumps, with a technician on the phone first. Typical cost in Providence runs $229 to $1,290, and the phone is answered 24/7 at (401) 598-2964.

Signs it is time to call

  • No heat and the indoor temperature is dropping
  • A gas smell, which means leaving the house and calling the gas utility first
  • Water leaking from a boiler or relief valve
  • A heat pump frozen solid or a furnace locked out

Forced-air heat is more common in Cranston, Warwick, Johnston and the newer parts of every town around Providence, while oil still heats a good share of older homes beyond the gas mains. Either way, January cold snaps expose the small failures, a dirty sensor, a weak inducer or a clogged nozzle, that a fall visit would have caught.

What the work includes

  • Phone triage: thermostat, switches, breaker, fuel level and resets
  • Priority dispatch for no-heat calls with vulnerable occupants
  • Repair on the spot with stocked parts, or a safe temporary fix
  • Written follow-up if a part has to be ordered
Providence note

Pipes in older triple-deckers and unheated porches can freeze within hours once the heat is off. If you lose heat in a deep cold snap, open cabinet doors on outside walls and call right away.

Emergency Heating Repair questions

Do you answer heating calls at night and on weekends?

Yes. The line is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and no-heat calls are handled as a priority.

What should I do while I wait for a technician?

Check that the thermostat is on heat with fresh batteries, the furnace or boiler switch is on and the breaker has not tripped. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas company from outside.

Can you fix my heat on the first visit?

Most of the time, yes. We carry common ignitors, sensors, pumps, capacitors and controls. If a specific part has to be ordered, we try to leave you with safe temporary heat.
