Universe Home Services provides same-day heating repair across Long Island, covering furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, ductless systems, and oil heating equipment.
Licensed technicians, same-day availability, and 24/7 emergency response mean you are not stuck in a cold house waiting for help. Contact us online to get scheduled today.
One Call for Every Heating System Under Your Roof
Long Island homes run the full range of heating equipment, and most service companies specialize in one fuel type or one system family.
Universe works on all of it under one roof, and that matters because a same-day call often turns up a related issue somewhere else in the home. A boiler sharing the same flue as a water heater, a heat pump tied into electrical you did not know was undersized, a ductless system feeding rooms the central system was never sized to handle.
Our technicians handle HVAC, plumbing, and electrical from a single call, so the right fix lands the first time without chasing down a second contractor.
Your Long Island Heating Team
Long Island homes run a wide range of heating systems: oil furnaces across Nassau County neighborhoods built before gas was available, boilers with baseboard or cast iron radiators in homes built mid-century, and a growing number of heat pump conversions.
Universe has been handling heating repair across Long Island since 1954, and our technicians have worked on every equipment type in homes across Levittown, Rockville Centre, Huntington, and Babylon long enough to know which failure patterns are specific to local conditions versus what the manual says.

Your Heating Repair, Step by Step
From your first call to a warm home, the path forward is straightforward.
Call or reach out online. We ask the right questions about your heating system and what it is doing, and most calls across Long Island get same-day service with immediate dispatch for no-heat emergencies.
Your technician arrives on time and starts by hearing what you have noticed: when it stopped, any sounds or behaviors that preceded the failure, anything that changed recently. From there, the full system gets inspected across whatever equipment is in your home: furnace, boiler, heat pump, or ductless system, along with the controls, fuel supply, and safety components. The goal is the root cause, not just the visible symptom.
Once the diagnosis is complete, you hear what was found in plain language and receive the cost before any work begins. Once you approve, the repair is completed using quality parts, and the system is run through a full heating cycle to confirm it is operating correctly and safely before your technician leaves.

Signs Your Heating System Needs Same-Day Repair
When your heat goes out, the specific symptom tells the technician where to start looking.
Our technicians handle the full range of same-day heating failures across Long Island homes.
A furnace, boiler, or heat pump that runs without producing heat, or will not start at all, is one of the most urgent calls we handle across Hicksville, Bethpage, and Plainview. The cause could be an ignition failure, a blocked flue, a tripped safety limit, a fuel supply issue, or a thermostat problem, and pinpointing which one restores warmth quickly.
A heating system that turns on and off repeatedly without completing a full cycle is stressing components and failing to keep your home warm. Homeowners in Massapequa, Merrick, and East Meadow call us for this on furnaces and boilers alike, and identifying whether the cause is a safety control, a pressure issue, or an airflow problem protects the system from progressing to a full failure.
Cold spots in certain rooms while others stay warm often points to a failed zone valve on a boiler system, airflow restrictions on a forced-air furnace, or a ductless head that has lost communication with the outdoor unit. We see this regularly in Wantagh, Seaford, and Bellmore, and evaluating the full system is what brings consistent warmth back to every room.
Banging, rattling, kettling, or grinding sounds from heating equipment are never normal, and each points to a different underlying failure. We handle these calls often in Amityville, Lindenhurst, and Babylon across furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps, and catching the sound early is the difference between a quick fix and a major component replacement.
A system displaying a lockout code or error message on the control board is telling your technician exactly what triggered the shutdown. Reading that code correctly matters, which is why we see these calls regularly in Farmingdale, Syosset, and Huntington where newer systems with diagnostic displays need someone who knows how to interpret what the board is reporting.
Oil heating systems fail differently than gas, and a no-heat call on an oil furnace or boiler often traces to a clogged nozzle, a fouled electrode, an oil pump issue, or a safety control that has locked out the burner. We handle these calls regularly across Garden City, Mineola, and Westbury where oil heating remains common, and working on oil equipment every week is what keeps the diagnosis accurate rather than applying gas-furnace logic to a different fuel type.

Why Long Island Homeowners Trust Universe for Same-Day Heating Repair
Choosing who handles your heating repair in Hicksville, Dix Hills, Lindenhurst, or anywhere across Long Island matters when your heat is out.
Someone who responds fast, knows these systems, and fixes it right is what separates a real fix from a callback.
Most heating repair calls are handled the same day across Nassau and Suffolk County, and for no-heat emergencies in Farmingdale, West Babylon, Syosset, or Amityville, 24/7 service means you are not left waiting through a cold night.
Long Island heating covers a range most markets do not see: oil furnaces, oil boilers, gas furnaces, hot water boilers, heat pumps, and ductless systems all within the same service area. Our technicians are trained across all of it, which matters when diagnosing a system that does not behave like textbook examples.
You hear what was found and what it costs to fix before any work begins, so the price you approve is the price on the invoice. No scope creep, no surprise add-ons when the work is complete.
Universe is a BBB Accredited Business, an Energy Star partner, and a National Grid Value Plus Installer, and every heating repair is backed by those standards.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Heating System?
When a same-day heating call turns up a significant problem, replacement is a fair question to ask.
Both options get an honest read with no pressure in either direction, based on the system in front of us.
Gas furnaces typically last 15 to 20 years, oil furnaces and boilers can run longer with good maintenance, and heat pumps usually last 15 to 20 years. A unit under 10 years old with an isolated failure is almost always worth repairing, while one past 15 to 20 years facing a major repair, especially if a heat exchanger, compressor, or combustion component is involved, is worth a replacement conversation.
A heating system that has needed service more than once in a single season is wearing out across multiple components. When repair costs approach half the cost of a new system, replacement delivers more reliability per dollar than continued investment in aging equipment.
An older heating system losing efficiency runs longer to deliver the same amount of heat, which shows up on your fuel bill. On Long Island, where oil and gas costs run higher than the national average, the monthly savings from a newer high-efficiency system add up faster than in most markets.
A cracked or corroding heat exchanger, a failed compressor on a heat pump, or a boiler heat exchanger leaking internally are safety or reliability concerns that often end the repair conversation. Your technician gives you an honest assessment of what is actually in front of them before any decision is made.

Frequently Asked Questions About Same-Day Heating Repair
What types of heating systems do you repair?
Universe repairs gas furnaces, oil furnaces, hot water boilers, steam boilers, heat pumps, ductless heating systems, and the full range of oil heating equipment. We cover both the HVAC systems and the oil-fired equipment that remains common across Long Island, all handled in the same service call rather than requiring separate contractors for different fuel types.
How quickly can you get to my home when my heat goes out?
Most heating repair calls across Long Island are handled same day. For no-heat emergencies in Wantagh, West Hempstead, Deer Park, Rockville Centre, or anywhere we serve, 24/7 emergency service is available so you are not left in a cold house overnight, and Home Comfort Club members receive priority scheduling when call volume is high during the first real cold snap.
Do you carry parts for oil heating systems?
Yes. Our service vehicles carry parts for both gas and oil heating equipment, including nozzles, electrodes, oil pump components, and ignition controls specific to oil-fired systems. Most oil heating repairs are completed in a single visit without waiting on a parts order, which matters when a family is without heat.
What should I check before calling for heating repair?
Start with the thermostat. Confirm it is set to heat and the temperature is above the current room temperature, check that the system power switch is on and the circuit breaker has not tripped, and check the filter on a forced air system because a completely blocked filter can cause a safety shutdown. If none of those restore operation, call us, and we can help you determine over the phone whether the situation warrants 24/7 emergency dispatch or a same-day scheduled visit.
How do I avoid emergency heating calls in the future?
A fall tune-up before the heating season catches most of the failures that become midnight emergencies. Nozzles approaching end of service, flame sensors starting to foul, and failing ignition controls show up in a maintenance visit before they cause a no-heat call, and Home Comfort Club members have that visit scheduled automatically each fall as part of whole-home membership.
