Furnace failures, AC breakdowns, and ventilation emergencies leave your home uncomfortable and unsafe. Connect instantly with local emergency HVAC technicians ready to dispatch now.
Understanding home heating and cooling failures and how to handle them before help arrives.
When your air conditioning stops cooling entirely during a heat wave, it's more than an inconvenience — it's a health risk. Check your thermostat settings and ensure the air filter isn't clogged. Contact the emergency hotline right away to have a professional HVAC technician dispatched for immediate repair.
A furnace failure in winter can cause pipes to freeze and burst. If you smell gas, evacuate immediately and call your gas company before contacting us. Do not attempt to relight a pilot light yourself if you're unsure. Contact the emergency hotline for priority dispatch of a heating specialist.
If you notice ice forming on your AC coils or a chemical smell near the unit, you may have a refrigerant leak. Turn off the system immediately — running it low on refrigerant can permanently damage the compressor. Contact the emergency hotline to connect with a certified leak detection technician.
If your carbon monoxide detector goes off, evacuate all occupants immediately and call 911. Once safe, contact the emergency hotline to dispatch an HVAC technician to inspect your furnace, heat exchanger, and ventilation system for dangerous CO leaks.
Know where your HVAC shut-off controls are before disaster strikes. This knowledge can prevent system damage and keep your family safe.
Set the thermostat to "Off" position. This stops the system from running and prevents further damage while you wait for a technician.
Found on the exterior wall near your outdoor AC condenser unit or on the indoor air handler. This kills all power to the unit.
Locate the dedicated HVAC breaker in your electrical panel. Flip it to the off position for complete electrical isolation of the system.
Pro Tip: Replace your HVAC air filter every 1-3 months. A dirty filter forces your system to work harder, leading to overheating, frozen coils, and premature failure. Label your filter size on the housing for quick replacements.

We recommend professional HVAC maintenance twice per year — once in spring for your cooling system and once in fall for your heating system. Regular maintenance prevents unexpected breakdowns, improves energy efficiency, extends equipment lifespan, and keeps manufacturer warranties valid. Many dispatched technicians offer seasonal tune-up packages.
Warning signs include: unusual noises (banging, squealing, grinding), strange odors (burning, musty, gas-like), inconsistent temperatures between rooms, frequent cycling on and off, water pooling around the unit, and visible ice on refrigerant lines. Any gas smell requires immediate evacuation. Contact the emergency hotline for rapid assessment.
