Heating Fuel and Boiler Types Here
Natural gas and heating oil are both used. Census-derived housing data reported utility gas as the primary heat source for about 50% of occupied homes and fuel oil for about 37.5%. National Grid gas is available on many streets, but not throughout the hamlet; availability should be checked at the property. That matters for boiler work because oil-fired and gas-fired boilers fail in different ways: oil units lock out on dirty nozzles and weak cad cells, gas units on igniters and gas valves. Our technicians carry parts for both.
The Boilers We See in Local Basements
The housing stock includes older homes as well as many mid-20th-century suburban houses. Older houses here often have steam or gravity hot water boilers with large cast-iron sections, wide piping and radiators. Those systems need a technician who knows steam traps, low-water cutoffs and the right firing rate, and we send one. Local waterfront homes face Great South Bay.
Roads and Neighborhoods on Our Boiler Routes
Sunrise Highway (NY Route 27), Islip Avenue (NY Route 111) and Southern State Parkway bring our trucks into town from either side. Bayberry Point are all covered, same day in most cases. If you live near Islip LIRR station, Islip Grange and Islip Town Beach, you have had our trucks on your block.
Winter Boiler Emergencies
Near the water the enemy is damp: rusted circulators, a relief valve crusted shut, a flue that corrodes from the inside. The fall cleaning is when we catch those before they become a midnight call.
Local Background
Great South Bay waterfront and Main Street commercial district are also local landmarks. The Islip Grange is a historic site and park in the hamlet. The hamlet has a Main Street business district.
