What Counts as an HVAC Emergency?

Not all HVAC issues require an overnight visit, but certain problems can’t wait for regular business hours. Whether you’re worried about system failure, indoor air quality, or unsafe conditions, we’re here to help you sort through the issue and act fast when it counts.

Here are some of the most common reasons people call us for emergency HVAC service:

No heat during subfreezing temperatures – Loss of heat can lead to frozen pipes or unsafe indoor conditions.
AC failure during extreme heat – High indoor temps can be dangerous for children, pets, and older adults.
Burning smells or unusual noises – These may signal electrical problems, motor failure, or a potential fire hazard.
Sudden loss of airflow – Could indicate a major blower, thermostat, or ductwork issue.
Leaking refrigerant or water near equipment – May damage nearby structures or indicate serious internal failure.
System short cycling or complete shutdown – Often caused by thermostat failure, compressor problems, or overheating.

If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, don’t hesitate to call. We’ll talk you through what’s going on and dispatch help right away if needed.
