We proudly provide fast and effective 24/7 emergency heating repairs for the homes we serve.
If you notice any of these signs, we strongly recommend scheduling heating repairs without delay:

- Odd sounds (clanging, rattling, banging, or grinding)
- Inconsistent or diminished heating capacity
- System short-cycling
Signs Your Heating System Needs Repair
Different types of heating systems have different signs of underlying issues, so it’s important to spot the warning signs that each needs repair.
If you notice any of these, we recommend scheduling a heating repair without delay:
- Odd odors: Furnaces may emit a burning smell when starting up, especially if dust has accumulated. A rotten egg smell could signal a gas leak, while moldy or musty odors often point to moisture issues in heat pumps or ductless mini-splits.
- Strange sounds: Boilers can make banging noises from air trapped in pipes, while furnaces might rattle from loose components.
- Inconsistent heat: If your boiler or furnace isn’t distributing heat evenly, it could indicate a ductwork or radiator problem.
- Frequent short-cycling: This issue is common in furnaces and heat pumps, where the system repeatedly turns on and off without reaching the desired temperature.
- Water leaks: If your boiler is leaking, it could be a sign of a broken valve. A leaky mini-split could have a clogged condensate drain.
- Stalled operation: Heat pumps may freeze up if the coils are dirty, refrigerant levels are low, or the defrost cycle fails.
- Longer heating times: In geothermal systems, longer heating cycles could indicate problems with the ground loop.
Heating Installation & Replacement
When your unit nears the end of its service life, you need an expert heating replacement from Service Today. We install a broad range of modern heating systems, including:
- Furnaces: Furnaces are the most common heating systems. We service gas, electric, and oil furnaces.
- Boilers: We service gas and oil boilers. We’ll help you select the system that offers the energy efficiency, reliability, and longevity you desire.
- Heat pumps: Heat pumps keep your home comfortable all year with reliable heating and cooling. They provide superior heating efficiency.
- Geothermal systems: Geothermal heat pumps have underground loops to transfer heat to and from the ground instead of the air.
- Hybrid systems: Hybrid systems are ideal for maximum energy efficiency and cost savings. You can rely on your heat pump most of the time and switch to your furnace when temperatures plummet.
- Ductless heating: Ductless mini-splits are ideal for precise, year-round temperature regulation without ductwork.
We offer financing options on approved credit.

- Clean heating components like burners, coils, and fan blades
- Test fuel connections in gas and oil furnaces and boilers

Why do I need to schedule heating maintenance?
Annual tune-ups help extend the lifespan of a heating unit and prevent costly repairs by catching small issues before they get worse. Skipping maintenance can lead to unexpected breakdowns or higher energy bills.
