Frequently asked questions

No. This site is a referral service. We connect you with an independent local heating contractor. They inspect the system, set their own price, and do the work if you hire them.

If you smell gas, leave and call your utility or emergency services. If not, check the thermostat, the furnace power switch, the breaker, and the filter, and make sure the gas valve is open. Then request a referral and describe what you already checked.

It depends on the city, the weather, and how many no-heat calls are already in the queue. After you contact us, we forward the request so a local pro can follow up. Mention if the home has no heat and if anyone vulnerable is in the house.

Many Montana diagnostic visits fall in a broad range around $90–$200, sometimes applied to the repair if you proceed. Repairs vary widely. See our cost guide for typical ranges, not a quote.

Some heating contractors also service boilers or heat pumps; others specialize in forced-air furnaces. Tell us what kind of system you have and we will try to connect you with a pro who works on it.

Licensing and permit rules are set by the state and local jurisdictions. We do not make license claims. Ask the referred contractor about their credentials and whether a permit is needed for your job.

That depends on the age of the furnace, the cost of the repair, and what the technician finds. A local pro can give you options. We will not push a replacement from this website.

No. You are not billed for the referral. You pay the contractor only if you hire them, under their terms.
