Arc Stream Services | Reliable HVAC Repair in Rochester, NY

Common warning signs include a yellow, flickering flame on your gas furnace or boiler (instead of a steady blue flame), excessive soot or moisture around the appliance, and a persistent, stuffy feeling in the air. Most critically, if you or your family experience unexplained headaches, nausea, or dizziness that seem to improve when you leave the house, treat it as an emergency, evacuate immediately, and call 911, then Arc Stream Services for a professional inspection.

Yes, it's very common. Rochester's many historic homes often have older boiler systems that can suffer from issues like failing circulator pumps, clogged or corroded pipes, or faulty zone valves, especially as temperatures drop. Our technicians are experts in diagnosing and repairing all major boiler brands. We'll quickly identify the root cause—whether it's a lack of maintenance, a component failure, or a pressure issue—and get your reliable radiant heat restored.

Proactive maintenance is the best defense. Before winter hits, we perform a comprehensive tune-up that includes checking heat exchangers for dangerous cracks (a primary source of CO leaks), cleaning and testing boiler components, ensuring proper ventilation, and calibrating thermostats. This service not only improves efficiency and extends the life of your system but also catches small problems before they turn into a no-heat emergency in the middle of a snowstorm.
