Frequently Asked Questions

We might be able to help with your heating questions easily at the links below. If not, just click or call.

• How often should a furnace be serviced?

  Homeowners should have their furnace or boiler system serviced at least one time per year. This may help prolong the heating system’s life span and help to lessen repairs and utility costs.

• Is preventative furnace maintenance worth it?

  Heater maintenance is like car maintenance. Preventative furnace maintenance is vital to helping your home heating last as long as possible.

• What can be done to protect my home from carbon monoxide?

  Here are a couple of things you can do to keep your family protected from carbon monoxide:

  • Heat up your car or truck outside of your garage. Cars are a substantial source of carbon monoxide poisoning, so do not leave yours running in the confined space of a garage. The same is true for gas equipment like lawn mowers or snowmobiles.
  • Don’t run ovens or grills as heaters. These appliances are safe when used right but can output carbon monoxide when used for a long amount of time in small spaces.
  • Don’t operate a gas generator indoors because it produces fumes.
  • Have your chimney inspected by a professional. This ensures chimneys and vents aren’t blocked and are connected appropriately.
  • Confirm gas appliances are operating correctly, particularly your heater. You can ensure efficient, safe operation by booking routine furnace maintenance with Stan Gelber & Sons.
  • Install your preferred model of carbon monoxide and smoke detector on every floor of your home, particularly close to bedrooms and common places where gas appliances can be found.

• How can I bring my heating costs down?

• Do you provide emergency service?

  Yes. Our Experts are only a quick way away, whether you’re trying to find a furnace repair in the dark of a cold winter night or an AC replacement before a heat wave arrives.

• What is a Diagnostic Fee?

  A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a typical charge used by HVAC companies once someone is dispatched to your home to diagnose the root cause of what’s affecting your HVAC system. The service call charge covers the technician’s time, knowledge and any gas or other travel expenses associated with looking into the problem. It’s in essence a service fee for the technician’s professional evaluation to find what went wrong.

  It’s similar to visiting your doctor. They need to do some preliminary tests or an examination to learn more about what’s wrong before recommending treatment. Just the same, the technician we send must examine your system to decide on the best repair or maintenance steps.
