Heating contractors and plumbers for breakdowns.
Albany has recorded both extremes in the same record book: a low of -28°F in January 1971 and a high of 104°F in July 1911. That range means a furnace, boiler or air conditioner here can fail in either season, and a frozen pipe is a real risk in deep winter. Before you hire, ask about the permit. The city's Department of Buildings says a permit is required for all work to mechanical systems, including installation or changes to heating systems, though replacing existing equipment with something consistent with the original specifications does not need one. For new permanent apparatus, the city says it cannot issue a building permit without proof of insurance and proof of workers' compensation coverage, so ask any contractor to show both. National Grid also advises an annual check by a licensed professional heating contractor, so ask about licensing too. Get the scope of work in writing and ask who will pull the permit if one is needed.

New York's Heating Equipment Repair or Replacement (HERR) benefit under HEAP helps income-eligible households. It covers the actual cost of the work, up to $4,000 for repairs and $8,000 for replacements. Work must be approved by your HEAP Local District Contact before it begins, and payment goes directly to the approved vendor.
Have fuel-burning appliances such as a furnace or boiler inspected by a professional at least once a year.
Get written quotes from at least three contractors for the same work, and check references from recent clients.
Put it in a written contract: the work, price, deposit, start and finish dates, warranty, permits and clean-up. Paying cash to skip it leaves you no recourse.
Albany's Department of Buildings says no permit is required to replace existing equipment as long as the replacement is consistent with the original equipment's specifications. A permit is required for all other work to mechanical systems, including installation or changes to heating systems. Ask your contractor which case applies to your job.

The city says it cannot issue a building permit without proof of insurance and proof of workers' compensation coverage, citing NY GML § 125. Ask for both documents before work starts, and confirm who is applying for the permit so nothing is left unclear. City of Albany (source, opens in a new tab)
Ask for a written quote that names the equipment, describes the work, lists parts and labour separately, and states who handles any permit. Get the contractor's licence and insurance details too. When comparing quotes, check that each covers the same scope of work.
Yes. National Grid says ice and snow can block vents for furnaces, water heaters and other appliances, which may cause equipment malfunction and carbon monoxide buildup. It also advises an annual check by a licensed professional heating contractor. Keep vents clear and call a contractor if equipment acts oddly. National Grid (source, opens in a new tab)
