Recognizing a True Heating Emergency

While any loss of heat is a problem, certain symptoms indicate a critical failure that requires immediate professional attention. Delaying a call can lead to more extensive damage or create unsafe living conditions. If you experience any of the following issues with your furnace or heat pump, it is crucial to seek emergency service.

No Heat or Blowing Cold AirThe most obvious sign of a breakdown is a complete lack of warm air. If your system is running but only circulating cold or room-temperature air, it points to a significant issue with the heat source, such as a failed ignition system, a malfunctioning gas valve, or a problem with the heating elements.

Strange or Loud NoisesYour heating system should operate with a consistent, low hum. Sudden, loud noises are a clear warning sign.

• Banging or Booming: This often indicates a delayed ignition in a gas furnace, where gas has built up before igniting. This is a serious issue that requires immediate shutdown and repair.
• Squealing or Screeching: High-pitched sounds typically point to a problem with a worn-out belt or failing motor bearings. If left unaddressed, this can lead to a complete motor seizure.
• Grinding or Scraping: Metal-on-metal sounds often mean a component in the blower assembly has broken or become loose, creating a dangerous situation that could destroy the motor.

Unusual Odors from VentsStrange smells coming from your heating system should never be ignored.

• Rotten Egg or Sulfur Smell: If you have a gas furnace, this smell is a major red flag for a potential gas leak. If you smell gas, evacuate your home immediately. Do not use any electronics or light switches. Once you are safely outside, call your gas utility company to report the leak, and then contact us for the emergency repair.
• Burning or Electrical Smells: A dusty smell is common when you first turn on your heat for the season. However, a persistent smell of burning plastic, rubber, or wiring indicates an overheating motor or a serious electrical fault that poses a fire hazard.

Frequent Cycling or Constant RunningA furnace or heat pump that turns on and off in rapid succession (short-cycling) or runs continuously without reaching the set temperature is working inefficiently. This not only drives up your energy bills but also puts extreme strain on the components, leading to premature failure.
