Heating repairs must sometimes be taken care of right away, which means you’ll need to find a company that provides emergency heat repair/service. It’s important to do some research ahead of time so that you will know whom to call should the occasion arise. Here are some things a reliable emergency heating contractor should provide you.

• Live Technician-Whenever you call for emergency repairs, you should be able to speak with a live technician and not an answering machine or answering service, as doing so will only slow down the process.
• 24/7/365 service-No matter when you reach a technician, you’ll need to know that repairs can be made promptly, regardless of whether it is the middle of the night or on a weekend or holiday.
• Two-hour response time-To prevent serious health problems or damage to your home, ensure that a technician can get to you within two hours.
• Well stocked truck- Be sure that the heating contractor you choose carries a wide range of repair parts on the service truck so that you won’t have to waste time waiting ordering them.
• Knowledgeable about your heating system-This is important, as different heating systems all require a certain set of skills in order to repair them properly. You don’t want to call for emergency repairs only to find out that a technician is unfamiliar with your piece of equipment.
• Reasonably priced-Some contractors will charge you an arm and a leg for emergency repair service simply because they feel you have no other option than to pay it. For this reason, it can be helpful to know what an emergency call will cost you ahead of time.
