Is Your Heating Problem an Emergency?

Not every heating issue requires an after-hours call, but certain symptoms demand immediate attention to prevent further damage or ensure your family’s safety. If you are experiencing any of the following, your situation likely constitutes a heating emergency.

Complete Loss of Heat

The most obvious sign of a critical failure is when your system stops producing any warm air at all. If the outdoor temperatures are dropping and your home is becoming uncomfortably cold, it's essential to have the system inspected and repaired promptly. Before calling, it can be helpful to check that your thermostat is set correctly to "heat" and that the circuit breaker for your furnace or air handler has not been tripped. If these simple checks don’t resolve the issue, a professional diagnosis is necessary.

Alarming Noises from Your Furnace or Heat Pump

Your heating system should operate with a consistent, low-level hum. If you suddenly hear loud, unusual noises, it’s a sign that a mechanical component has likely failed or is about to.

• Grinding or Scraping: This can indicate worn-out motor bearings, a serious issue that can lead to complete motor failure.
• Loud Banging or Popping: Often heard in furnaces, this could be caused by delayed ignition of gas, creating a small, contained explosion in the combustion chamber. This is a hazardous condition that requires immediate shutdown and professional service.
• High-Pitched Squealing: This frequently points to a failing blower motor or a problem with a belt.

Suspicious Odors

Your sense of smell is a powerful tool for detecting a heating emergency. Never ignore unusual odors coming from your vents or the unit itself.

• Smell of Gas or Rotten Eggs: If you have a gas furnace and detect the odor of natural gas (which has a sulfur or rotten egg scent added for detection), this is a critical emergency. Immediately cease using any electronics or appliances, do not turn lights on or off, evacuate your home, and call your gas utility provider from a safe distance. Once the gas company has declared the area safe, our technicians can address the furnace leak.
• Burning Smells: An electrical or metallic burning smell could indicate an overheating motor or compromised wiring. Turn the system off at the circuit breaker immediately to prevent a fire hazard.

Critical Safety: Carbon Monoxide Detector Alarms

If your carbon monoxide (CO) detector sounds its alarm, treat it as a life-threatening emergency. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of fuel. A malfunctioning furnace is a common source of CO leaks. If your alarm goes off, evacuate everyone from the house immediately and call 911 from a safe location. Do not re-enter your home until it has been cleared by emergency services. We can then perform a thorough inspection to find and repair the source of the leak.
