What Providence housing means for HVAC service
The Woonasquatucket and Moshassuck rivers meet downtown to form the Providence River, and low-lying blocks near the water have a long flood history. The Fox Point Hurricane Barrier was finished in the 1960s after the hurricanes of 1938 and 1954 put downtown under water.
A lot of Providence housing is renter-occupied, so a repair often involves a landlord, a tenant and sometimes a property manager. In triple-deckers each unit often has its own boiler or furnace, sometimes all in one basement. Label which one is yours so the tech does not spend time on the wrong unit.
Many triple-deckers in Elmwood and Olneyville run a separate boiler for each floor, so a no-heat call often starts with figuring out which basement unit belongs to which apartment. Providence is the state capital, and its housing ranges from Victorian single-family homes on the East Side to rows of wood-frame triple-deckers in neighborhoods like Elmwood and Olneyville.
Local rules before you book
Natural gas in Providence is delivered by Rhode Island Energy. If you smell gas, leave the house and call Rhode Island Energy or 911 from outside before calling anyone else. For everything else, a heating and cooling company can diagnose the boiler, furnace or heat pump.

A little prep helps
Write down the make and model on the boiler, furnace or outdoor unit, and note any error code or blinking light.

What people ask us
What should I check before calling for no heat?
Make sure the thermostat is set to heat and has working batteries, the emergency switch at the top of the basement stairs is on, and the breaker is not tripped. For oil heat, check the tank level.

How often should a boiler or furnace be serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend yearly service, ideally before the heating season. Ask the company what their tune-up includes.
What do I do if I smell gas?
Leave the house right away, do not switch lights or appliances on or off, and call Rhode Island Energy or 911 from outside.
