Emergency Service
No heat at 2 a.m.? Our stocked trucks roll 24/7 across the City and Town of Newburgh.
A furnace almost never quits on a mild afternoon. It quits on the first hard freeze of the season, in the middle of the night, when the wind coming off the Hudson has already dropped the house into the fifties. That is when a dead furnace stops being an inconvenience and starts threatening your pipes and your family's safety. We answer the phone at every hour and dispatch a stocked truck, not a callback slip. Call +1 (327) 210-5999 and a live technician will talk you through the safe first steps while help is already on the way.

January lows in Newburgh routinely sit in the teens, and a nor'easter can hold the house below freezing for days. Once your indoor temperature drops toward the low forties, water in exterior walls and unheated crawlspaces begins to freeze, and a burst pipe turns a heating repair into a flooding cleanup. That chain reaction is exactly why we treat every no-heat call as time-sensitive. Whether you are downtown near the Broadway corridor or out in the Town of Newburgh, the truck is loaded and moving before the house cools further.
Smell gas? Leave first, call second.
If you smell rotten eggs or sulfur, do not flip switches, unplug anything, or relight the furnace. Get everyone outside, then call 911 or Central Hudson from a safe distance. Only call us for the repair once the gas hazard has been cleared. The same rule applies to a headache-and-nausea pattern that points to carbon monoxide — leave and call for help first.
A no-heat diagnosis follows a set order so nothing gets skipped in the dark and cold. We do not guess from the symptom — we measure, because the same "no heat" complaint can come from a two-dollar flame sensor or a cracked heat exchanger.
Safety and combustion review
We confirm gas pressure, venting, and combustion air before energizing anything, and we test for carbon monoxide at the appliance.
Ignition sequence test
We watch a full call for heat: thermostat signal, inducer, pressure switch, ignitor glow, gas valve, flame, and blower — and note exactly where it stalls.
Component measurement
Flame-sensor microamps, ignitor resistance, limit switches, and control-board voltages get metered, not eyeballed.
Written options
You get the failed part, the fix, the price, and whether the furnace is safe to keep running — before we proceed.
Older Newburgh homes add their own wrinkles. Many have oil furnaces or oil-to-gas conversions, undersized returns, and long duct runs to additions, which means a "furnace" complaint sometimes turns out to be an airflow or venting problem instead of a burner problem. We check the whole path, not just the box in the basement.
Keep the pipes in mind
If the house has already cooled and you have plumbing on an exterior wall, let a faucet trickle while you wait. Moving water is far less likely to freeze than standing water.
Not every no-heat situation carries the same risk, and it helps to know where yours falls before you decide whether to call at midnight or first thing in the morning.
No-heat urgency at a glance
| Situation | Risk level | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| House below 45°F with pipes on exterior walls | High | Call now — freeze and burst-pipe risk is real |
| Infant, elderly, or medically vulnerable resident | High | Call now — cold exposure is a health issue |
| Any gas smell or CO alarm | Emergency | Leave first, call 911/utility, then call us |
| House holding near 60°F, safe space heaters running | Moderate | A first-thing-morning slot is reasonable |
We run no-heat calls across the historic East End, the West End, Balmville, Orange Lake, and Gardnertown, and out through the rest of Orange County. Because we are based right here at 48 Carter St, our crews know which streets ice over first and where the older steam and hot-water systems still run. If your furnace fails and you already know it needs replacing, we can stabilize the heat tonight and walk you through options in daylight rather than pressuring a decision at midnight. And if the fix turns out to be simple, you will not hear us invent extra work — a straightforward flame-sensor cleaning gets billed as exactly that.
