NYC heat season · October 1 – May 31

When the heat goes out, the clock starts.

NYC requires building owners to provide heat and hot water. If your boiler is struggling, don’t wait for the coldest night of the year.

  • Overnight, 10pm to 6am62°F

Questions

Before you call

What should I tell you about a blocked drain?

Where the backup is (toilet, tub, shower, sink or floor drain), whether more than one fixture is affected, and how long it has been happening. Photos help.

Do you run a camera on every drain job?

No. A camera inspection is for accessible lines when a blockage keeps coming back or the cause isn’t clear. We’ll tell you if it’s worth doing before any work starts.

How much does boiler repair cost in NYC?

It depends on the problem, the parts and the type of boiler, so we don’t quote a number before we’ve seen it. You get a clear estimate before any work begins, with no surprise charges. Estimates on replacements are free.

Can you repair a boiler the same day?

In most cases, yes. We offer same-day service for non-emergency repairs, depending on availability in your area, and 24/7 emergency response for no-heat situations.

Should I repair my boiler or replace it?

If the boiler is under 15 years old and the repair costs less than half of a new unit, repair is usually the better call. Older units with frequent breakdowns, high energy bills and rising repair costs often make replacement cheaper in the long run.

Do you repair apartment building boilers?

Yes. We work on multi-family and apartment building boilers across all five boroughs, and we work efficiently to restore heat for every tenant.
