Heating Repair in Wilkes-Barre, PA: 24/7 No-Heat Service

Look at the rooms, not the basement. If warm air comes out of vents or grilles, you have a furnace. If the heat comes off radiators or baseboard units along the walls, you have a boiler, which heats water and circulates it through pipes. Either way you do not need to be sure before you call. Telling them apart is the first thing we do.

Start with the thermostat: set to heat, above room temperature, fresh batteries. Then the service switch on or beside the unit, which looks like a light switch and gets turned off by accident more often than you would think. Then the breaker, then the filter. On an oil system check the tank has fuel. On a boiler check the pressure gauge is not at zero. If all of that looks right, the fault needs a technician and you should call us.

All of them. Gas, oil, electric and coal, across furnaces, steam boilers, hot water boilers, radiators, baseboard and the controls that run them, in every major brand. Coal stokers and hand-fired units included, which matters here because a fair number of Wyoming Valley houses never converted.

In the middle of winter, yes. A house without heat drops temperature faster than people expect, and once pipes start to freeze a heating problem turns into a plumbing problem and a much more expensive one. We answer the phone 24/7, 365 days a year, and we run no-heat calls through the night.

That is a good share of what we do. Much of Wilkes-Barre was built before 1940 and heated by coal first, converted to oil, then converted again to gas, often with the original distribution left in place. We service steam and hot water radiator systems that newer companies will not take on, and we still carry parts for equipment that stopped being made a long time ago.

We will give you the math rather than a scare. Under about twelve to fifteen years old with a minor fault, repairing it is usually right. Older, or needing an expensive part, or paired with heating bills that keep climbing, and replacement often makes more sense. We lay both out and let you decide, and we do not push a system you do not need.
