Emergency HVAC repair is unscheduled service performed outside normal business hours or under urgent conditions — no heat during freezing weather, gas leak detection, carbon monoxide alarm activation, or total cooling failure during extreme heat. It requires technicians carrying diagnostic equipment and common replacement parts to resolve the issue in a single visit.

Safety First - When to Act Immediately

Gas smell: If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, leave the building immediately, even if the smell is faint. Do not operate switches, appliances or phones inside, and do not stop to shut off the furnace or gas supply. From a safe location outside, call 911 and your gas utility's emergency line. Do not re-enter until emergency responders or the utility say it is safe.
CO alarm: If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, get everyone outside immediately. Call 911 from outside and do not re-enter until emergency responders say it is safe.
Sparks/smoke: Leave the area immediately if equipment is sparking or smoking. Call 911 from a safe location outside. Do not approach equipment to shut off power or re-enter until emergency responders say it is safe.
Water flooding: Shut main water valve if safe
