Signs You Need Emergency Heating Repair
When it comes to heating emergencies, it’s critical to get professional care fast. Contact our highly trained technicians if you notice:
- Insufficient heat: Especially for homes with older residents or infants, a lack of heat in the dead of winter can put vulnerable populations at risk.
- Burning smells: The smell of smoke or burning could indicate overheating or a serious electrical hazard.
- Fuel leaks: Any leak should be addressed immediately, especially for systems that use natural gas, as it can be dangerous.
- Pilot light issues: A malfunctioning pilot light can lead to incomplete combustion, which can cause dangerous carbon monoxide to be released.
In addition to emergency heating repairs, we can help with issues like clogged air filters, thermostat issues, or high utility bills. We’ll diagnose the problem and provide the reliable heating repairs you need.

Should I Repair or Replace My Heating System?
Choosing whether to repair or replace your heating system can be a complicated question, as there are many factors that can impact your decision. Many issues can be repaired.
However, we recommend choosing a heating replacement over repair when your system is near the end of its lifespan, requires extensive or expensive repairs, or is no longer reliable.
With a new system, you can have the reliable heating you need with fewer issues. Plus, with preventative HVAC maintenance, you can help extend the lifespan of your new system to give you optimal performance for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do while I wait for emergency heating repairs?
Depending on the issue at hand, it may be best to turn off the power to your system — especially if you’re dealing with dangerous electrical problems or a gas leak.

- Change dirty air filters
- Check for a tripped circuit breaker
