What constitutes an HVAC emergency?
There are several scenarios that warrant emergency HVAC repair or replacement:
Complete system failure – If your furnace, heat pump, or AC unit stops working entirely, this constitutes an emergency. Being without heat or air conditioning can quickly become a dangerous situation, especially for infants, elderly people, or those with medical conditions.
- No heat on cold days – If your furnace breaks down on a freezing winter day, this is considered an emergency. Prolonged exposure to extreme cold comes with risks like hypothermia and frostbite.
- No AC on hot days – Similarly, if your AC fails on an extremely hot summer day, it’s an emergency. Heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses can occur rapidly when a home lacks air conditioning.
- Gas leaks – If you smell gas coming from your gas furnace, suspect a leak somewhere in the system, or your furnace simply won’t ignite, you could have a dangerous gas leak. Leave the home immediately and call us.
- Strange sounds or smells – Odd noises like screeching or grinding, or unusual odors like gas or burning plastic are signs that something is seriously wrong with your HVAC system. Don’t hesitate to call us.
- Broken thermostat – If your thermostat malfunctions or breaks altogether, you’ll have no way to control your home’s temperature. This requires prompt repair service.

Common emergency HVAC repairs
Some of the most common issues our technicians troubleshoot in emergency situations include:
- Faulty ignition – If the pilot light won’t ignite or the burner fails to start, repairs like cleaning and spark electrode replacement can get your system running again.
- Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker – Sometimes a simple fuse or breaker issue is the culprit, which we can quickly fix to restore function.
- Flame sensor failure – Dirty or faulty flame sensors prevent the furnace from igniting. We can clean or replace them on the spot.
- Thermostat malfunctions – We’ll troubleshoot your thermostat and replace it if necessary during an emergency visit.
- Refrigerant leaks – Low refrigerant levels severely reduce AC performance. We can recharge the refrigerant if that’s the only issue.
- Capacitor failure – Air handler capacitors sometimes fail without warning. We keep replacement caps on our service trucks for rapid in-home repairs.
- Burnt-out motors – Faulty motors in furnaces and air handlers can seize up or burn out. Replacement may be required but we can install temporary loaner motors.
- Gas valve defects – Problematic gas valves in furnaces need to be repaired or replaced so you can heat your home safely.
- Drainage problems – Clogged condensate drains can cause AC coils to freeze up. We’ll clear the drain and get your system flowing again.
