No heat in winter, no cool in a heat wave, busted lines. We answer the phone day or night, weekends included.
AmeriHeat is not a franchise. We are owner-operated, which means Justin and Colby handle every job personally. When you call about a no-heat call in Rochester, you talk to the people who actually show up at your house.
We service every furnace type. Gas, oil, electric, high-efficiency, mid-efficiency, and older atmospheric units. We give you the price before any work begins. No surprises. No upsells in the driveway.
Most of our customers found us after a bad experience with a franchise HVAC company. Big trucks, different techs every visit, pressure to replace instead of repair. We keep the team small on purpose. That is how we keep the work right.
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.
If your furnace stopped heating, is making strange noises, or short-cycles on and off, you are looking at a service call. Here is what we do, what affects the cost, and when repair is the right move versus replacement.
A technician comes to your Rochester home, inspects the full system, identifies the issue, and explains it in plain language. You get the cost in writing before any work begins. If parts are needed, we tell you whether they are on the truck or need to be ordered. Most repairs are completed in a single visit.
Common gas furnace repairs include flame sensor replacement, ignitor replacement, blower motor service, capacitor replacement, pressure switch replacement, and gas valve issues. Common oil furnace repairs include nozzle and electrode service, oil pump issues, and combustion chamber cleaning. Heat pump systems running in heating mode have their own typical issues like reversing valve faults and defrost board problems, and we handle those too.
Repair cost depends on the specific problem, the make and model of your equipment, accessibility of the unit, and whether parts need to be ordered. A flame sensor swap is a quick fix. A blower motor replacement on an older system takes longer and costs more. We give you the price upfront so you can decide before any work happens. If a repair makes sense, we do it. If a replacement is the smarter long-term call, we tell you and walk through the math.
Yes. AmeriHeat is one of the few Rochester area HVAC companies that still services fuel oil furnaces. That includes annual cleaning, nozzle and electrode replacement, oil pump repair, oil tank work, and full oil-to-gas conversions when a natural gas line becomes available on your street. We handle these jobs across Rochester, Canandaigua, Fairport, Henrietta, and the surrounding Finger Lakes towns. Learn more about our fuel oil work.
Oil-to-gas conversion typically involves removing the old oil furnace and running a new gas line if needed, installing a high-efficiency gas furnace, and updating the venting. We give you a single all-in price covering equipment and labor.
The general rule is to repair if the furnace is under 12 years old and the repair costs less than half of a new system. Replacement usually makes more sense if the unit is 15-plus years old, the heat exchanger is cracked, or you have made multiple repair calls in a single season. Cracked heat exchangers are a hard stop for safety reasons because they can leak carbon monoxide. We tell you the math both ways and let you decide. There is no pressure to replace a unit that still has years left in it.
AmeriHeat is an authorized Heil dealer. We also service Gree, Thermo-Pride, Rheem, Lennox, and most major brands. Older equipment from any manufacturer, we can usually diagnose and either repair or help you plan a replacement. We do not push a specific brand on every job. The right answer depends on your home, fuel type, budget, and how long you plan to stay.
