Emergency Heating Repair Website Launches

(Newswire.net — January 4, 2016) Seattle, WA — A new website designed to help homeowners find heating repair services is now online.

The Emergency Furnace Repair website launched with the intent of providing information and guidance to homeowners in Washington State who have a heating system that has suddenly stopped working. The site offers some advice as to who to contact in their area who may be able to travel out to their home and get their furnace operating again.

The website’s publisher, Samantha DeMars, said that her new site is set up in a way for visitors to browse local heating repair shops in any of the bigger Washington cities.

“We constructed this website to help out that homeowner who wakes up in the morning wondering why it’s so cold in their house, and then realizes that their furnace isn’t working,” stated DeMars, “Most people understand that they have to call someone, but they aren’t sure who to call.”

“Most homeowners will end up picking a heating repair company almost at random from the listings they see online or from their phone book, if they still have one of those books lying around,” continued DeMars, “But not all HVAC repair services are really set up to promptly handle a lot of unexpected repair jobs. Most of them don’t have the manpower to perform repair jobs at night or on the weekends.”

“Our site’s job is to figure out which companies have the best organization and resources to handle emergency calls,” she said, “We want to come up with a short list of good services so the homeowner has a much easier decision to make when they are trying to determine who to call.”

Furnaces Stop Working When You Need Them the Most

Heating repair companies like to sign homeowners up for routine maintenance agreements so they can visit those homeowners and work on their systems during the warmer months when they aren’t busy, DeMars said, but even routine maintenance can’t prevent many unexpected failures.

“Furnaces never seem to break when you don’t need them very much. They don’t seem to stop working in April or October, they always go out between November and March,” DeMars said, “A lot of heating systems break down during the first cold front of the year, and it happens to homeowners all at the same time, so HVAC companies often get a bunch of calls on the same day.”

“Even if a repair shop offers emergency service, there are limitations to their service. Homeowners have to be reasonable about it,” concluded DeMars, “For example, if you call someone at midnight and you request a service call, that company isn’t going to dispatch someone out to your home before morning. They will do their best to prioritize the calls they get and to act on them as fast as they can, but if they get a rash of service calls on any one day, someone will have to end up waiting. The homeowner will just have to be a little patient.”

DeMars mentioned that her site is still new, so it may be a while until each city has a good short list of recommended services. For details, you can visit http://www.emergencyfurnacerepair.com.
