Questions people ask first
Who do I call first for a gas smell?
The gas utility or 911, from outside the house. Come back to us afterwards if the system needs a repair.
Could my no-heat problem be an empty tank?
If you use oil or bottled gas, yes. Check the tank gauge before booking a repair visit.
Gas smell or CO alarm? Leave first.
Then call 911 or the gas utility from outside. Next steps
Signs it fits a house in Camillus
You smell gas
Get everyone outside. Call 911 or the gas utility once you are out of the house.
The CO alarm is going off
Move into fresh air and call 911 from there. Do not go back in to investigate.
No heat, no smell, no alarm
Check the thermostat, the furnace switch and the breaker before booking.
The furnace shut itself off
Leave it off and do not reset or relight it. A safety control stopped it, so book the repair.
Urgent Heating and Cooling Repair in Camillus
Whether you live in the village or out on a town road, the first steps are the same. A gas smell or a sounding carbon monoxide alarm means leaving the house, then calling 911 or the gas utility from outside. The state Health Department points out that nobody can see or smell carbon monoxide and it can kill before symptoms register, which is why the alarm, not your nose, is the signal to trust.
In Camillus the next question is your fuel. Gas heats 77.9 percent of town homes, but 146 burn oil and 199 use bottled gas. A no-heat night in an oil or bottled-gas house may simply be an empty tank, which is a delivery issue before it is a repair issue. Look at the tank gauge first, and check the cylinder level if you are on bottled gas.
Renters should message the landlord at once, since New York law holds a landlord to keeping the dwelling fit to live in.
The local line
Electricity heats 16.7 percent of Camillus town homes, so a no-heat night there can be a lost circuit rather than a failed furnace.
