Three fuels, three different overnight decisions
East Syracuse does not have one answer to the question of whether tonight's failure is dangerous. Of 1,350 occupied units, 905 heat with utility gas, 367 with electricity and 58 from a bottled or LP tank, with no units at all recorded on fuel oil. Those are three different nights. A gas house has combustion in it, so a carbon monoxide alarm changes everything and takes priority over the repair. An electric house has no flue and nothing burning, so a failure is uncomfortable rather than hazardous. And a tank house has a fourth possibility that costs nothing to rule out, because a tank can simply run out and produce a no-heat call with nothing broken in it at all.
What emergency repair involves
The order to work through, starting now
If an alarm is sounding or more than one person in the house has become unwell at the same time, stop reading and act: the state health department says to get everyone into fresh air and contact the fire department and the gas company, and that symptoms which start or worsen soon after a fuel burning appliance turns on, or ease after leaving the building, are the pattern to suspect. If there is no alarm, check the tank gauge if you have one, then the thermostat, the switch on the appliance and the breaker. Then judge the night on the people and the temperature rather than on the machine. One more thing that matters in this village specifically: just over half of occupied units here are owner occupied, so a substantial number of these calls need a landlord in the conversation, and starting that at midnight is harder than starting it in October.
An alarm outranks the repair
Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless and the state records it as the leading cause of poisoning deaths in the United States. Everyone out into fresh air, then the fire department and the gas company. The heating contractor comes after the building is safe.
58 village homes can simply run out of fuel
Bottled and LP gas heats 4.3 percent of occupied units here. Reading the gauge before you book anybody takes a minute and occasionally ends the whole thing, which is why we would rather you did it than we did.
If you rent, the landlord is part of tonight
711 of the 1,350 occupied units in this village are owner occupied, so almost half are not. Find out now who authorizes a call-out and how to reach them, because that question is much worse at 1am than it is in daylight.

The New York State Department of Health states that carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can kill before a person is aware it is present, and that carbon monoxide exposure is the leading cause of death due to poisoning in the United States. It advises installing alarms and checking them twice a year, and scheduling annual maintenance for furnaces and other heat sources. It states that poisoning should be suspected where symptoms occur or worsen soon after a fuel-burning device is turned on, where more than one person in the area becomes ill at the same time, or where those who are ill feel better after leaving the area, and that anyone suspecting it should get everyone out into fresh air immediately and contact the fire department and the gas company or a heating contractor.

Overnight questions from East Syracuse households
How do I know whether tonight is dangerous or just cold?
Start with what burns in the house. If nothing does, and 367 of the village's occupied units are in that position, there is no carbon monoxide risk from the heating system and the decision is purely about comfort and the people in the property. If you do have a gas or LP appliance, the state's own pattern test is the one to use: suspect carbon monoxide where more than one person becomes ill at the same time, where symptoms start or get worse soon after an appliance turns on, or where people feel better after leaving. Any of those means out into fresh air and a call to the fire department and the gas company first.
I rent in East Syracuse and the heat has failed. What should I do tonight?
Two things in parallel. Document it: note the time it stopped, what the thermostat reads and the outside temperature, and message the landlord or the management company in writing rather than by phone alone so there is a record. Then deal with the night itself on the basis of who is in the property. Nearly half of this village's occupied units are rented, so this is common ground here and it is worth having the contact route settled in advance. Send us the address as well and we will arrange the call, whoever ends up paying for it.
