Winter emergencies in New Hampshire
In New Hampshire, a no-heat emergency is a race against frozen pipes. With IECC zone 6 winters, an unheated house can drop toward freezing within hours on a sub-zero night. Calls are triaged so homes with vulnerable occupants and fast-falling temperatures go first.
Long winters and many homes on oil or propane make fuel delivery and burner tune-ups part of the season.
Rural New Hampshire homes on propane or oil should watch tank levels during long cold stretches; a run-out looks like a broken furnace, and propane systems need a leak check before relighting after a run-out.
