FAQs
What situations are considered a heating emergency, and when should I call for immediate service?
A heating emergency includes any situation where your furnace, heat pump, or boiler stops producing heat during cold weather, emits burning or gas odors, trips the carbon-monoxide detector, makes loud grinding or banging noises, or repeatedly short-cycles (turns on and off). If you notice any of these issues—especially if indoor temperatures are dropping below 60°F or there is a suspected gas leak—turn the system off, evacuate if you smell gas, and call our 24/7 emergency line right away.
How fast can your technicians get to my home in Georgetown during an emergency?
Because we base emergency crews inside Georgetown city limits, our average arrival time is 60 minutes or less. During severe weather or city-wide outages we triage calls, prioritizing homes with no heat, elderly occupants, and young children, but we still aim to reach every customer the same day. You will receive a live ETA text and real-time map tracking once the technician is dispatched.
Are emergency heating repairs available after hours, on weekends, and holidays?
Yes. Our dispatch center answers calls 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—including nights, weekends, and major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. A certified, background-checked HVAC technician is always on call, and our fully stocked service vans carry the most common replacement parts so repairs can be completed on the first visit whenever possible.
Which heating systems and brands can you service during an emergency visit?
Our team is trained and licensed to repair gas and electric furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, boilers, and packaged rooftop units. We work on all major brands, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, American Standard, Daikin, Mitsubishi, and Amana. If a proprietary part is required, we can place an expedited order and install a temporary solution to keep you warm until the part arrives.
Will emergency heat repair cost more, and can I get an upfront estimate?
There is a modest after-hours diagnostic fee to cover overtime labor, but once the problem is identified our technician will present flat-rate pricing for all repair options before any work begins. No repairs are made without your signed approval. We accept all major credit cards, offer same-day financing on repairs over $500, and honor manufacturer warranties where applicable to reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
What can I do to protect my home and family while waiting for the technician?
1) Turn off the heating system at the thermostat and breaker if you smell burning or hear loud noises. 2) If you suspect a gas leak, shut off the main gas valve, open windows, evacuate, and call 911. 3) Close curtains and doors to retain heat and use safe space heaters if available (never use ovens or grills indoors). 4) Keep an eye on pipes in unheated areas; let faucets drip to prevent freezing. 5) Have your service history, warranty information, and model number ready to speed diagnosis when the technician arrives.
