Whether you need an emergency igniter swap at 2 a.m. or a high-efficiency upgrade before winter returns, CountBricks delivers the residential expertise and AI precision Albany homeowners deserve.
Last February, a 1920s brownstone near Washington Park lost heat during an overnight cold snap. At 6:15 a.m. the homeowner opened the CountBricks app and used a 45-second voice note to describe the error code flashing on her 80 % AFUE gas furnace.
Within three minutes the platform returned a $612 repair proposal covering a new igniter module, combustion analysis, and a replacement gasket kit sourced from an Albany distributor in stock that morning.
• 7:05 a.m. — Certified tech Alex R. accepted the job in the CountBricks field app.
• 7:55 a.m. — Arrival verified; homeowner received a geo-tagged notification.
• 9:40 a.m. — Repair complete; system producing 120 °F supply air.
• 9:50 a.m. — Digital invoice signed with Apple Pay; warranty registered automatically.
The homeowner saved an estimated 1.5 hours of diagnostic labor and avoided a $150 emergency premium often charged by traditional shops. Her review now anchors our Albany portfolio at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
