FAQs
How quickly can you respond to an emergency heating breakdown in Ducktown?
We maintain a 24/7 rapid-response team dedicated to Ducktown and the surrounding communities. In most cases, a certified technician can arrive at your home or business within 60–90 minutes of your call, even on weekends and holidays. Our dispatch system tracks the closest available crew so we can get heat restored as fast as possible.
What types of heating systems do you repair during an emergency visit?
Our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair all major residential and light-commercial heating equipment, including gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, boilers, and packaged rooftop units. We carry a broad stock of common replacement parts in our service vehicles so we can handle most fixes on the first visit.
Are there extra fees for after-hours or holiday heat repairs?
Because emergency calls often happen at inconvenient times, we clearly disclose our after-hours fee structure up front. There is a modest diagnostic surcharge for service requested outside of standard business hours (8 a.m.–5 p.m.). Once the issue is diagnosed, you receive a flat-rate repair quote before any work begins—no hidden overtime multipliers or surprise add-ons.
What should I do while waiting for the technician to arrive?
1. Turn off the heating system at the thermostat and breaker to prevent further damage. 2. If you smell gas, evacuate immediately and call 911 from a safe location. 3. Close doors to unused rooms and use blankets or space heaters (if safe) to conserve warmth. 4. Gather any relevant paperwork—model numbers, previous repair invoices—so our tech can review them quickly upon arrival.
Can an emergency repair void my manufacturer warranty?
No. Our company is fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and our technicians follow manufacturer-approved repair procedures. We use OEM or high-quality compatible parts and provide written documentation of all work performed, which preserves existing equipment warranties. We also back our labor with a 1-year workmanship guarantee.
How can I prevent future emergency heating failures?
The best defense is proactive maintenance. We recommend a comprehensive tune-up every fall that includes cleaning burners and coils, calibrating thermostats, checking refrigerant levels (for heat pumps), tightening electrical connections, and testing safety controls. Customers in Ducktown can enroll in our Priority Comfort Plan, which provides two seasonal maintenance visits, priority scheduling, and a 15% discount on any necessary repairs.
