A Love-Hate Relationship with Your Heating System

Let’s face it: your furnace has feelings, and right now, it’s probably plotting its revenge for all those years you’ve ignored its subtle cries for help. Northeast Heating, Cooling and Refrigeration Co., Inc. has seen enough dramatic furnace breakdowns to know that these mechanical divas tend to wait for the coldest day of the year to throw their temper tantrums.

Signs Your Furnace is Planning its Dramatic Exit:

• Making sounds that remind you of your uncle’s snoring at Thanksgiving
• Blowing air that’s about as warm as a penguin’s lunch box
• Performing an interpretive dance through random shutoffs
• Sending you passive-aggressive messages through your utility bill

Here in the Capital Region, from Albany to Latham, we’ve seen furnaces retire with more drama than a Broadway show. They usually choose to make their final bow when you’re hosting the in-laws or during that massive winter storm everyone’s been talking about.

The Capital Region’s Heating Horror Stories

You haven’t truly lived in Colonie until you’ve experienced the joy of wearing three sweaters, two pairs of socks, and your summer beach hat indoors because your heater decided to take an unscheduled vacation. And let’s not forget our friends in Loudonville, who’ve mastered the art of speed-dialing heating repair services while wrapped in their favorite blanket fort.

East Greenbush residents have their own special relationship with winter heating emergencies. They’ve developed a sixth sense for when their furnace is about to throw a fit – usually right before hosting that important dinner party they’ve been planning for months.

The Truth About Furnace Replacement

If your heating system is older than your favorite pair of lucky socks, it might be time for a replacement. Northeast Heating, Cooling and Refrigeration Co., Inc. understands that replacing your furnace is about as exciting as watching paint dry in Cohoes during January, but it’s better than playing the “will it make it through another winter” game.

Remember, a well-maintained heating system is a happy heating system. And a happy heating system means you won’t have to explain to your guests why they need to keep their parkas on during your indoor Super Bowl party.

Don’t wait until your furnace writes its resignation letter in frozen pipes and cold air. Give it the attention it deserves, and it might just keep you toasty through another New York winter without the drama.
