Colonie · Same-Day Service · Booking Now
Local high-efficiency furnace, boiler, and oil-to-gas conversion work for Colonie, Latham, and Loudonville homes, with same-day service Monday through Friday from a contractor licensed in New York since 2006.
Local heating, done right
Colonie is a gas town with an aging housing stock, and that combination is exactly where heating work lives. About 74 percent of homes here heat with natural gas delivered by National Grid out of its Latham office, so the everyday job in Latham, Loudonville, Newtonville, and West Albany is high-efficiency gas furnace and boiler replacement — pulling a cracked, low-efficiency unit and dropping in a modern condensing system that costs less to run through a long Capital Region winter.
The age of the houses is what makes timing matter. The median Colonie home was built in 1973, and roughly 46 percent predate 1970 — the single largest slice, almost a fifth of the whole town, went up in the 1950s postwar boom. The boilers and furnaces in those Latham ranches and pre-war Loudonville and West Albany homes are decades past their design life, and a system that limps through November is the one that quits in a January cold snap. For the pre-1940 stock, where hot-water and steam boilers feed cast-iron radiators, we replace the boiler like-for-like and keep the radiators that still work.
Not every Colonie home is on gas. Around 2.9 percent still heat with oil and another 1.4 percent on propane — roughly a thousand homes townwide, scattered rather than clustered in any one hamlet. Where a National Grid gas main already runs in the street, an oil-to-gas conversion usually pays for itself in fuel savings, and we pull the old tank. Where there is no main to tie into — the rural northern fringe out toward Boght Corners and Verdoy — we install high-efficiency oil or propane equipment instead. We size the system to the fuel that is actually at the curb, not a one-size-fits-all swap.

Replaced a failing 1950s-era gas furnace in a Latham ranch near the Latham Water district where the homeowner was getting uneven heat and a rising National Grid bill. We installed a right-sized high-efficiency condensing gas furnace, re-ran the condensate drain so it would not freeze on sub-zero mornings, and matched it to the existing ductwork ahead of a January cold snap.
Converted an oil-heated pre-war home in Loudonville from oil to gas after confirming a National Grid gas main ran to the street. We installed a high-efficiency gas boiler, tied it into the existing cast-iron radiator zones with correct near-boiler piping, and decommissioned the old basement oil tank so the homeowner stopped paying for oil deliveries.
Installed a high-efficiency oil-fired boiler at a home on the rural northern edge of Colonie out past Boght Corners that sits off the gas grid with no main available. Since there was nothing to convert to, the right move was modern, efficient like-for-like oil equipment rather than a conversion that could not happen.
Answered a no-heat call from a home in the Newtonville section of Colonie, off Central Avenue, where the gas furnace kept firing up and then locking out during a cold stretch. We traced it to a worn hot-surface igniter along with a clogged condensate trap that was tripping the pressure switch and shutting the furnace down. We replaced the igniter, cleared and flushed the trap, and ran the unit through several full cycles to confirm a steady flame and reliable heat before we left.
From a quick repair to a full replacement, book online or call. We answer Monday through Friday and dispatch same-day across Colonie.

Good to know
If a National Grid gas main already runs to your street, converting to a high-efficiency gas furnace or boiler usually lowers your fuel cost, and we remove the on-site oil tank as part of the job. About 74 percent of Colonie already heats with gas, so a main is in the street for most of the developed town — though it comes down to your exact address, which we confirm before recommending a conversion. If there is no main to tie into, the better call is high-efficiency oil or propane equipment sized to your home.
Yes. A lot of the pre-1940 homes in Loudonville, West Albany, and the older Latham tracts run on hot-water or steam boilers feeding cast-iron radiators, and that is everyday work for us. We replace the boiler like-for-like with a modern high-efficiency unit and keep the radiators that still work — the key is correct near-boiler piping and sizing so the house heats evenly. There is no need to rip out radiators that are doing their job.
We are a local Capital Region team and we prioritize same-day heating calls Monday through Friday, which matters most in Colonie’s December-through-March cold season when the design temperature drops to about -1°F. Our hours are weekdays, 7:30 to 6 — so if your furnace or boiler fails during the week, call (518) 482-4205 and we will get to you the same day whenever we can. Financing is available through Acorn Finance if a replacement is the answer.
As a rule of thumb, a gas furnace usually lasts about 15 to 20 years and a cast-iron boiler can go longer, so age is the first thing we look at. If the unit is on the older end and the repair is a big-ticket part, it often makes more sense to put that money toward new, more efficient equipment. A cracked heat exchanger is the one case where we will always recommend replacement over repair, because that is a carbon monoxide safety issue. Either way, we will show you what we found and give you a straight recommendation rather than push you toward the bigger job.
Early fall is the ideal time, before the first real cold snap hits the Capital Region and everyone is calling at once. A yearly tune-up lets us catch a worn igniter, a dirty flame sensor, or a weak part before it leaves you without heat on a January night. It also keeps the furnace or boiler running at its rated efficiency, which helps hold down your National Grid bill, and it gives us a chance to check for any combustion or carbon monoxide concerns while we are there.

We also handle heating replacements and oil-to-gas conversions for nearby Capital Region communities, including Albany, Delmar, and Troy.
