What is Considered an HVAC Emergency?

• Total system failure: When the entire HVAC system stops working, especially during extreme weather conditions such as freezing temperatures or scorching heat.
• Gas leaks: Leaks in gas-powered HVAC systems can be dangerous due to the risk of fire or explosion. It's essential to evacuate the premises immediately and contact emergency services.
• Carbon monoxide leaks: Malfunctioning HVAC systems can release carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly in high concentrations. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and confusion. If suspected, evacuate the area and seek medical attention.
• Lack of heating or cooling during extreme weather: In cold weather, lack of heating can pose a health risk, especially for vulnerable individuals such as children, the elderly, or those with medical conditions. Similarly, lack of cooling during hot weather can lead to heat-related illnesses. Immediate attention is necessary to restore comfort and safety.
• Major water leaks: Water leaks from HVAC systems can cause significant property damage and mold growth if not addressed promptly. It's crucial to shut off the water supply and contact a professional for repairs.

What to Do When Your HVAC System Breaks Down

If your HVAC system is malfunctioning, there are a few steps you can take to try to resolve the issue yourself before calling a professional. However, if you are unable to resolve the issue or the problem is too serious, you should contact a HVAC technician as soon as possible. In the unfortunate event that your HVAC system breaks down, here are a few steps you can take to minimize the damage.

It's best to contact a professional if your HVAC system is experiencing any of the following:

• There is a significant amount of dust, dirt, or debris in your home
• Your HVAC system is less than 5 years old
• Your HVAC system is leaking water or another substance
• Your HVAC system is making loud noises
• Your HVAC system is not producing enough cool or warm air
• Your HVAC system is not controlling humidity levels properly
• Your HVAC system is not properly controlling the indoor air quality & temperature

If you are unsure whether your HVAC issue is a minor problem that can be fixed quickly or a major problem that requires a professional's help, contact our HVAC technicians for a second opinion. We can help you determine whether you can fix the problem yourself or whether you should schedule an appointment with a professional to have the problem fixed.
