How a call from here works

1. Say what the system is doing Not cooling, not heating, iced lines, water at the attic unit, a breaker that trips. Add the thermostat setting and what the house actually reads.

2. A contractor is matched by ZIP code The line routes the call to an independent heating and cooling contractor taking work in that ZIP code. Coverage shifts during the day; a match is not promised.

3. Visit, findings and figure come from that contractor The contractor books the visit, diagnoses the system and quotes any repair or replacement. This site sets no figures and sends nobody.

Heat: electric, propane, and a little natural gas

About 58% of households heat with electricity, 29% with propane and only about 10% with natural gas, a sign that natural gas lines reach only part of this area. That means heat pumps, electric strips and propane furnaces.

Propane furnaces. A propane furnace is built or converted for propane, with its own gas valve settings and orifices. Check the tank level before calling about no heat. A replacement furnace has to be set up for propane, and the gas line is tested before it is put back in service.

Two systems, two install years

In a house with two systems, the two often went in together and age together, but not always. Note the data plate of each before calling, and say which one has the problem.
