What best describes your heating problem?

Make sure power is getting to the furnace

Try this:

  • Check your home’s electrical panel. Flip the furnace’s circuit to “off” and then “on” again.
  • Look for a switch (like a light switch) near your furnace and make sure it is set to "on".

What our clients are saying

  • I felt that they were very efficient, and came right away to put our system in. The works were very great with the cleaning up each day that they were here and putting things back we finished. I was very satisfied with the service over all. Thanks!

  • The fellows who installed my new furnace were great; wasted no time and explained a lot of things to me that I wanted to know. They are very conscientious (even removing boots)... Thanks for a job well done and several more years of security.. I am a 67 year old widow and security means a whole lot to me.

  • Before retrofitting my 2008 home for geothermal I talked to lots of folks already enjoying this wonderful ground source for heating and cooling. And then I searched for the right contractor to install it. I chose Gilbert Plumbing & Heating mainly because of their vast experience in this field and they have been with me every step of the way. The installation crews were great - professional and neat. The Gilbert business has been doing this for many years and they have all been a pleasure to work with. The current tax credits and rebates available made this decision easy. This is the best investment I have ever made!
