More about Schenectady
If your house has a boiler and radiators, we keep the radiators and replace the boiler like-for-like where we can; if it has a furnace and ducts, we repair the furnace or replace it with a right-sized high-efficiency model. Heating with oil and curious about gas? An oil-to-gas conversion is possible only where a gas main reaches your street, and we check that for the address before we price anything.

Schenectady heating jobs we have completed
Representative work in the Schenectady neighborhoods we serve.
Schenectady
Freed a stuck draft inducer on a Schenectady furnace, cleaned a burner that was not lighting, and traced a limit-switch trip to a heavily restricted return line.
Schenectady
Looked into two upstairs radiators that would not warm in a Schenectady home: the vents all worked, and the only radiator that heated was in the room with the thermostat, which satisfied the call for heat before the others warmed, so moving the thermostat was recommended.
Schenectady
Found several split copper heat lines on a Schenectady boiler loop, including areas the owner had patched with push-fit couplings, and recommended those patches be replaced with proper repairs.

Heating repair in Schenectady: radiators, furnaces and when to call
Whether the house has radiators or ducts decides where to look first.
Radiators and an older boiler
Cold radiators, loud banging or a boiler that keeps shutting down is a boiler repair call. The note on cold radiators explains the usual causes.
Forced-air heat
When the furnace blows cold air, shuts off after a minute or refuses to light, book furnace repair. The furnace blowing cold air note lists the usual suspects.
Planning ahead
If the equipment is near the end of its life, see boiler replacement before it fails in the cold.
Questions we hear
FAQs about heating in Schenectady
Straight answers from the team that does the work. Still unsure? Call and a real dispatcher picks up.
Technicians from Empire State Plumbing handle furnace, boiler and radiator repair in Schenectady on any common fuel, from steam systems to forced-air gas. Call Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6pm, or book online. Same-day service is offered within business hours when the schedule allows.
A Schenectady house can carry a steam boiler, a hot-water boiler, a forced-air furnace or a heat pump, and some have been converted from one kind to another over the years. Tell us what the basement equipment looks like; the first visit confirms what you actually have.
Yes. Gas, oil and propane equipment are all part of the work, and we ask about the fuel when you book so the visit starts with the right tools and tests. Weighing a fuel change? Ask about the trade-offs.
If a gas main already runs down your street, yes: we remove the oil burner and tank, set the gas furnace or boiler and tie in the venting. If no main is there, we replace the oil unit with a high-efficiency oil or propane model instead. The note on whether an oil-to-gas conversion is worth it lists what to ask before you commit.
Usually, yes. A new high-efficiency boiler with correct near-boiler piping can serve the existing radiators, and we only replace a radiator that leaks or is cracked. The piping and sizing are what make the system heat evenly without short cycling.
Same-day service is offered within business hours when the schedule allows. Business hours run Monday to Friday. If the furnace has stopped, check the thermostat and breaker first, then tell dispatch whether the blower runs, whether the burner lights and whether any light is blinking. A dead blower and a burner that will not light are different calls, and the details help us send the right technician. We do not work nights or weekends.
Often, yes. On a hot-water system the cause can be trapped air in the loop, a stuck zone valve or a weak circulator; on a furnace it is usually a duct, damper or airflow problem. We trace the cause before recommending parts, and many fixes leave the boiler or furnace itself untouched.
Replace it when the heat exchanger cracks, when breakdowns come one after another, or when the furnace cannot warm the house even after service; otherwise a single failed part is usually worth repairing. The signs your furnace or boiler needs replacing guide lists what to weigh.
Equipment, fuel, venting and any pipe or duct changes set the price, and the written quote follows a look at the house. The cost guide for heating replacement covers the drivers. Acorn Finance offers financing.
Get everyone outside into fresh air and call 911; do not go back in until responders say it is safe. Once the house is cleared, call us to inspect the furnace or boiler, the flue and the venting. A fall visit from the maintenance plan includes a combustion and venting check.
