No heat in a Fairport home? A lot of the older homes around the village still run on oil, and oil furnaces fail in their own way, usually by tripping the reset button over and over. We fix gas and oil furnaces, every brand, and we genuinely know oil, which a lot of Rochester shops no longer service. With AmeriHeat the owners do the work. Justin or Colby finds the real problem and gets your heat back, and if it is time, we can talk about converting to gas.
No heat in winter, no cool in a heat wave, busted lines. We answer the phone day or night, weekends included.
Fairport grew up around the Erie Canal, and a lot of the older homes near the village still heat with oil. Oil furnaces are reliable, but when they act up they usually do it by tripping the reset button, and that comes from a clogged nozzle, a dirty oil filter, a bad CAD cell, or a fuel pump problem, not from anything you can fix by hitting reset again. A lot of Rochester companies stopped servicing oil entirely. We never did, so when your oil furnace quits, you are not stuck calling around.
We fix gas and oil furnaces, every brand, not just what we install. Justin or Colby runs the diagnostic, gives you a straight answer and a straight price, and never sells you a part you do not need. And if your oil furnace is near the end, we will tell you honestly whether to repair it or convert to gas, with no pressure either way.
Justin VanCassele and Colby Baker run AmeriHeat together. Colby is a veteran. Both owners are on jobs every week across Rochester and Monroe, Wayne and Ontario Counties.
Give them a call. They actually pick up.
These are the furnace failures we see most often in Fairport homes, oil and gas. We track down the cause and fix it the first time.
An oil furnace that shuts off and needs the reset button pressed to run is telling you something. It is usually a clogged nozzle, a dirty oil filter, a bad CAD cell, or a fuel pump issue. Hitting reset over and over can flood the burner, so it is worth fixing right. We know oil, so we find the real cause instead of guessing.
The furnace will not light or throws no heat. On gas it is often an igniter or flame sensor, on oil a nozzle or pump. We find which one and fix it fast.
The blower runs but the air is not warm. Often an ignition fault, a flame sensor, or a fuel supply issue. We find why it is not making heat instead of guessing.
The furnace fires, runs a minute, and shuts off, over and over. Often a dirty filter, a flame or CAD sensor, or a limit switch. It wears the furnace out, so it is worth fixing.
A blower that never runs, never stops, or is loud is usually a capacitor, a motor, or a control board. We test it and tell you exactly what it needs.
Soot, an oil smell, a yellow flame instead of blue, or a headache when the heat runs can signal a combustion or heat exchanger problem. Shut it off and call us. We check for cracks and carbon monoxide risk.
An oil furnace has a safety control that shuts the burner down if it does not sense a proper flame, and the reset button is how you restart it. If you find yourself pressing that button again and again, the furnace is not the problem, something is stopping it from burning clean. The usual causes are a clogged nozzle, a dirty oil filter starving the fuel supply, a fouled CAD cell that cannot see the flame, or a failing fuel pump. Pressing reset over and over can pump raw oil into the chamber and flood the burner, which turns a small fix into a mess. We find the actual cause and fix it, so the furnace stays running.
A lot of Rochester companies walked away from oil heat, which leaves Fairport homeowners on older oil systems calling around for someone who will even show up. We never stopped doing oil. We replace nozzles and oil filters, clean and set electrodes, service the pump, and get an oil furnace burning clean again. Because we know these systems, we fix them faster and we do not treat your oil furnace like a museum piece.
If your oil furnace keeps tripping the reset, do not keep pressing it. Call us. Repeated resets can flood the burner and make the repair bigger than it needed to be.
Sometimes the honest answer is not another oil repair. If your oil furnace is old, or the fix is large, and you have gas available, converting to gas can lower your bills and your maintenance for years. We do oil-to-gas conversions, and we will give you a straight comparison, the cost to repair now against the cost and payback of converting, so you can make the call with real numbers. No pressure either way. If the repair makes sense, we do the repair.
A furnace burns fuel to make heat, and that makes safety part of every repair. A cracked heat exchanger, heavy soot, or a bad combustion setup can leak carbon monoxide, which you cannot see or smell. When we are in your furnace, we look at the things that keep your family safe, not just whether warm air is coming out. If we find something dangerous, we tell you straight and shut it down until it is safe.
Furnace repair starts with knowing what is actually broken. For $99 we come to your Fairport home, run a full diagnostic on the furnace, oil or gas, and tell you exactly what is wrong and what it costs to fix. No guessing, no vague estimates over the phone.
A full diagnostic of your furnace for $99. You get a clear answer and a clear price before any repair work starts. The owner does the diagnosis, so nothing gets lost in translation.
Call the owners directly. Same day service when available, next day at the latest.
