Have these answers ready — they decide the dispatch priority.
The triage call runs a fixed sequence: fuel type (oil or gas — each routes differently), what failed (heat, hot water, or both), error code if the display shows one, how fast it is getting cold inside, and your ZIP. "Gas, no heat, lockout code, house at 58 and falling" gets you correctly prioritized in under a minute.
Two Huntington Station extras: how many units — a station-area multifamily building going cold outranks a single-family intermittent fault — and renter vs. owner, since repair authorization usually belongs to the property owner. If the situation sounds urgent-but-stable rather than a true emergency, the standard boiler repair route in Huntington Station is the right door.

Three things that help on a north-shore winter night.
Note the details before calling: the error code on the display, whether it is heat, hot water, or both that failed, and your fuel type — oil or gas. That trio routes the triage instantly. The national emergency boiler repair overview describes how the triage sequence works in general.
Protect the pipes: open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls and let taps drip slightly. In multifamily buildings, tell the tenants on the coldest exposures to do the same. Do not keep resetting a locked-out boiler or open the casing — both make things worse. If you manage the building, gather the unit count and the boiler's age before you call; both change the triage.
Do this before you call — it takes five minutes.
Call with these answers — fuel type, gauge reading, error code, indoor temperature trend, unit count if multifamily — and the triage can prioritize you correctly in under a minute. The signs of boiler trouble guide covers what each symptom usually means.
Straight answers before you call.
Thermostat, breakers, and on oil the tank gauge; an empty tank is a delivery call first. On steam check the sight glass. Press reset once, not repeatedly, then call (888) 766-1474. True no-heat in freezing weather is triaged first around the clock.
Call (888) 766-1474 now. Have ready: the address, your role, fuel type, steam or hot water, how many units are cold, and boiler-room access. Multi-unit outages in freezing weather go to the front of the line. If tenants include elderly or vulnerable residents, say so; severity sets the response.
Shut the boiler down immediately. A steam boiler firing dry can crack sections or worse. Do not add water to a hot dry boiler and do not keep resetting. Call (888) 766-1474 right away and report the empty sight glass; this is an urgent call.
Gas utility first, from outside the house. Do not flip switches or run the boiler; stay clear until the utility clears the house. After the all-clear, call (888) 766-1474 for the boiler-side repair. Utility first, every time, no exceptions.
Shut power to the boiler at the breaker if you can reach it safely from dry ground. Then call (888) 766-1474. Flooded burners and controls need professional assessment before firing again, and a flooded oil tank needs checking for water contamination. Describe the water source and depth on the call.
Oil company first for an emergency delivery, then (888) 766-1474, because the burner needs a filter change and a prime after a run-dry. Tell both the tank ran dry. If delivery is delayed and the house keeps dropping, say so; severity sets priority.
