⚠️ Natural Gas Safety Warning
If you smell natural gas or suspect an active gas line rupture, do not schedule service online or wait inside. Evacuate the premises immediately without touching electrical switches, and call 911 and National Grid (1-718-643-4050) from a safe outdoor location.
What to Prepare When You Call Our Dispatch Line
To help our technicians evaluate your plumbing or heating problem efficiently and assign appropriate diagnostic equipment, having the following details on hand is exceptionally helpful:
- Property Classification: Indicate whether the structure is a single-family detached home, semi-attached brick dwelling, or multi-family residential building.
- Equipment Type and Make: Note whether your heating system is a low-pressure steam boiler with cast-iron radiators or a hydronic (hot-water) boiler with finned baseboard loops. Mention the brand name (e.g., Burnham, Weil-McLain, Utica, Slant/Fin) and approximate unit age if visible on the rating plate.
- Observed Symptoms: Describe specific behavior such as burner failing to ignite, continuous cycling, water pooling beneath the pressure relief valve, knocking steam pipes, or cold radiators on top floors.
- Control Codes: If your modern digital boiler or water heater displays an error code on its digital aquastat module, relay that alphanumeric code to the technician.
Safety Precautions While Awaiting Service
Before our technician arrives on site, taking basic safety steps can protect your property and family:
- Emergency Heating Switch: If the boiler is screeching, emitting soot, or dry-firing with an empty sight glass, switch off the red emergency heating switch located near the top of the basement stairs.
- Shut-Off Valves: If you observe water leaking from a fixture supply line or domestic water heater, locate and shut off the local isolation valve or main water shutoff if it is safe and accessible. Never enter a flooded basement with submerged electrical outlets.
- Documenting Water Infiltration: Take clear photographs or video of active basement seepage, sump pump overflows, or pipe leaks to assist technicians in diagnosing intermittent problems.
