Is Your Heating Problem an Emergency? Know When to Call

While some heating issues can wait for a scheduled appointment, others require immediate professional attention to prevent further damage, ensure safety, and restore comfort. If you are experiencing any of the following situations, it is critical to seek emergency service right away.

Critical Safety Alert: Gas Smells or Carbon Monoxide AlarmsIf you smell natural gas (often described as rotten eggs) or your carbon monoxide detector is sounding, your safety is the top priority. Do not attempt to find the source of the leak or restart your furnace. Immediately evacuate everyone from the property, leaving the doors unlocked. From a safe distance, call your gas utility provider or 911 to report the situation. Once the authorities have cleared the area, contact us for an emergency inspection and repair.

Other signs that indicate a heating emergency include:

• Complete Loss of Heat: If your furnace or heat pump stops producing any heat and the temperature inside your home is dropping, you need immediate assistance.
• Loud, Persistent Noises: Sounds like grinding, scraping, or high-pitched squealing from your heating unit can signify serious mechanical failure, such as a broken blower motor or failing bearings.
• Burning or Electrical Odors: A strong burning smell or the scent of hot plastic or wiring can indicate a dangerous electrical problem or an overheating motor. Turn off the system at the circuit breaker and call for help immediately.
• The System Blows Only Cold Air: If your furnace cycles on but only pushes cold air through the vents, it could be due to a malfunctioning pilot light, a gas supply issue, or a faulty thermocouple.
• Frequent or Constant Cycling: A furnace that turns on and off rapidly without reaching the set temperature may have a serious underlying problem that needs professional diagnosis.

Quick Checks You Can Safely Perform

Sometimes, a simple issue can interrupt your heating. Before calling for emergency service, you can safely perform these quick checks. If these steps do not resolve the problem, or if you ever feel unsure or notice signs of a serious issue, contact us immediately.

1. Check Your Thermostat: Ensure it is set to "HEAT" and the temperature is set several degrees higher than the current room temperature. Check that the batteries are fresh if it is a battery-powered model.
2. Inspect the Air Filter: A severely clogged air filter can restrict airflow and cause your system to overheat and shut down. Check if it needs to be replaced.
3. Verify Power to the Unit: Locate the power switch for your furnace, which often looks like a standard light switch on or near the unit, and ensure it is in the "ON" position.
4. Check the Circuit Breaker: Go to your home's electrical panel and check if the breaker for your furnace or HVAC system has tripped. If it has, you can try resetting it once. If it trips again, do not reset it; call a professional immediately as this indicates a more serious electrical fault.
