Emergency HVAC FAQs
Common questions about emergency heating and cooling service in Portland
60 minutes on average throughout Portland Metro. We dispatch the nearest available NATE-certified technician as soon as you call. For gas leaks or carbon monoxide — call 911 first, then call us. Our trucks carry common parts so most repairs are completed on the first visit.
No. 2 AM on Christmas, Sunday afternoon, middle of a heat wave — same price. Our $99 diagnostic fee applies around the clock and gets credited toward the repair. You see the total before we start.
Check the basics first — thermostat batteries, furnace power switch, and the circuit breaker. If those are fine and it still won't fire, call (503) 698-5588. While you wait: close off rooms you're not using, run a safe space heater away from anything flammable, open cabinet doors under sinks so pipes don't freeze, and pile blankets on anyone vulnerable.

Get out of the building and call 911 if you smell natural gas (rotten egg odor), your CO detector alarms, you see sparks or flames from HVAC equipment, or you smell burning plastic or electrical odors.
