Schodack · Same-Day Service · Booking Now
Schodack runs on oil and propane, not gas. We repair and replace high-efficiency oil boilers and furnaces and service propane equipment, and we'll quote a gas conversion only where a National Grid main actually reaches the curb. Same-day Mon-Fri.
Local heating, done right
Heating in Schodack is a fuel story before it’s an equipment story, and getting that right is the whole game. Town-wide, the majority of homes burn delivered fuel oil or propane; natural gas serves a smaller share, with propane, wood, and electric making up the rest. Out in the deep-rural hamlets the tilt is even sharper: places like East Schodack run almost entirely on heating oil and propane, because there simply are no gas mains out there. So unlike a suburb where everyone’s converting to gas, most of Schodack is, and will stay, on delivered oil and propane. That’s why we lead with what actually keeps these homes warm: high-efficiency oil boiler and furnace repair and replacement, and proper service for propane heating equipment.
Our heating work matches the reality on the ground. For the oil-heated farmhouses and mid-century homes across South Schodack, Schodack Center, and the rural interior, we diagnose no-heat calls, replace failing oil burners, and install modern high-efficiency oil boilers and furnaces that cut fuel use without forcing you off a supply you already have a delivery relationship for. For propane homes, we service and replace tank-fed equipment safely. Because Schodack is the county’s third-largest town and homes are spread across acreage, a reliable heating system you can count on matters more here than almost anywhere.
We’ll talk gas conversion, but only honestly. National Grid serves natural gas along the river-rail-and-US-9 corridor and in Castleton-on-Hudson village; Schodack Landing, hugging that corridor, is where natural gas is most common. If your home sits where a main is genuinely at the curb, an oil-to-gas or propane-to-gas conversion can make sense and we’ll plan it with the Town of Schodack Building Department’s code and Energy Code requirements in mind. If you’re out in oil-and-propane country, we won’t sell you a conversion that needs a main that isn’t there. Empire State Plumbing is licensed, insured, and family-owned, with same-day service Monday through Friday from our Nassau shop.

Representative work in the Schodack neighborhoods we serve. Photos and exact addresses are added as our Schodack clients approve them.
Replaced an aging oil boiler with a high-efficiency unit for a 1950s home in South Schodack with no gas main nearby.
Diagnosed and fixed a no-heat oil-burner failure on a cold morning at an East Schodack farmhouse.
Planned and installed an oil-to-natural-gas furnace conversion for a Schodack Landing home where a National Grid main reached the curb.
Brought heat back to the second floor of a Castleton-on-Hudson Cape where the upstairs baseboards had stayed cold most of the winter. The trouble turned out to be a seized circulator pump on the upper hot-water zone, so we replaced the circulator, purged the trapped air out of the loop, and confirmed even heat on both floors before we left.

Good to know
Only if a National Grid gas main actually reaches your street. Gas service in Schodack follows the river/rail/US-9 corridor and Castleton-on-Hudson; areas like Schodack Landing are about 63% gas. But East Schodack and most of the rural interior have no mains, so for those homes a high-efficiency oil or propane system is the realistic, cost-effective upgrade. We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in.
Across Schodack, about 61% of homes heat with oil, and for most of them gas isn’t even available. A modern high-efficiency oil boiler or furnace can cut fuel use significantly while keeping the delivery setup you already have. We’ll compare repair, high-efficiency oil replacement, and propane options against your actual fuel access.
Yes. Propane heats a meaningful share of rural Schodack homes beyond the gas corridor, fed by the active local delivery market. We service, repair, and replace propane furnaces and boilers safely, and we coordinate the work to NYS Energy Code through the Town of Schodack Building Department where a permit is required.
A properly sized cold-climate heat pump can carry a Schodack home through most of our winter, but the sub-zero stretches are where correct sizing and a backup heat source matter. Before we recommend one, we look at your insulation, your ductwork or baseboard layout, and the system you already have. If your house is better served by keeping a furnace or boiler as backup — or skipping the heat pump entirely — we’ll tell you that straight.
Cold rooms usually come down to airflow or water flow rather than a broken furnace — blocked or undersized ducts, a stuck zone valve, air trapped in a hot-water loop, or a thermostat reading the wrong part of the house. We track down the actual cause instead of just turning the heat up, since cranking the whole system to cover one cold room wastes fuel. More often than not the fix is a balancing adjustment, a purge, or a small repair, not a new system.
