FAQs
What does “priority scheduling” mean for heat repair in Oakdale?
Priority scheduling gives your heating repair request top placement on our dispatch board. Calls flagged as priority are assigned to the next available technician—often within hours instead of days—so your furnace, boiler, or heat pump is restored as quickly as possible, even during peak winter demand in Oakdale.
How fast can you arrive if I request priority service?
For customers inside Oakdale city limits, we typically arrive the same day—usually within 2–4 hours of your call. In surrounding neighborhoods, arrival is generally within 4–6 hours. Our dispatch software continuously tracks technician locations to route the closest qualified professional to your address.
Which types of heating systems do you repair under priority scheduling?
Our EPA-certified technicians service gas and electric furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, hydronic/boiler systems, and packaged rooftop units. We carry common OEM parts on our service vehicles to handle 90% of repairs on the first visit, no matter the brand or model.
Is there an additional fee for after-hours or weekend priority appointments?
Yes. Because our team must remain on call outside normal business hours, there is a modest after-hours diagnostic fee. The charge is quoted up front when you schedule, and it covers extended labor rates and overtime staffing. We waive this surcharge for customers enrolled in our annual ComfortGuard maintenance plan.
What can I do before the technician arrives to speed up the repair?
1) Turn off the heating system at the thermostat to prevent further damage. 2) Note any error codes or unusual sounds so you can describe them to the technician. 3) Clear a 3-foot workspace around the furnace or air handler. 4) Locate your breaker panel and gas shut-off in case power or fuel must be isolated. These steps help our tech diagnose and repair your equipment more quickly.
Do you warranty priority heat repairs?
Absolutely. All replacement parts carry a manufacturer’s warranty of 1–10 years, depending on component, and we back our labor with a 1-year workmanship guarantee. If the same issue re-occurs within that period, we return at no charge to make it right. Extended coverage plans are available for added peace of mind.
