Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency HVAC Services

What is carbon monoxide, and how can it affect my HVAC system?

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible and odorless that is highly toxic when inhaled. Malfunctioning fuel-burning appliances, like furnaces or boilers, can produce carbon monoxide. A cracked heat exchanger in a furnace is a common source of carbon monoxide leaks in homes. Regular HVAC maintenance, including inspection of the heat exchanger, is important for preventing carbon monoxide leaks. CO detectors save lives.

What is a zoning system, and do I need one?

A zoning system creates separate heating and cooling zones that can be separately controlled. Each zone has its own thermostat, allowing you to customize temperatures in different rooms. Zoning systems are a good option for large homes or for areas with inconsistent temperatures.

How long does it take for an emergency HVAC technician to arrive?

Arrival times for emergency service providers vary based on factors such as the contractor's availability, your location, and current demand. However, reputable emergency HVAC services strive to respond to calls as promptly as possible. It's important to contact a few different providers to find an available technician who can get to you as soon as possible.

How do I reset my HVAC system?

Sometimes, a simple reset can resolve minor HVAC issues. Here's how to reset your HVAC system:

1. Turn off the system: Switch off your HVAC system at the thermostat.
2. Turn off the power: Locate the circuit breaker for your HVAC system and turn it off.
3. Wait: Wait at least 5 minutes for the system to completely power down.
4. Restore power: Turn the circuit breaker back on.
5. Turn on the system: Switch your HVAC system on at the thermostat.

If the problem persists after resetting, you likely have a more serious problem and should consult with a professional.
