FAQs
What situations are considered a heating emergency, and how fast can you reach my Huntsville home?
A heating emergency is any situation where your furnace, heat pump, or boiler stops producing heat during cold weather, emits a burning smell, trips breakers repeatedly, or leaks gas or carbon monoxide. Because Huntsville winters can drop below freezing, we treat loss of heat as urgent. Our on-call dispatchers are available 24/7, and a certified technician is typically at your door within 1–2 hours of your call, even on weekends and holidays.
Are your technicians qualified to work on all heating systems and brands?
Yes. Every emergency technician we send is EPA-certified, state-licensed, and factory-trained to service gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, mini-splits, and boilers from major brands such as Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and more. Our fully stocked service vehicles carry the most common replacement parts so we can fix 90% of issues on the first visit.
What should I do while waiting for an emergency heat repair technician?
1) Turn off the heating unit at the thermostat or breaker if you smell gas, hear unusual noises, or see sparks. 2) If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate and call 911 before calling us. 3) Keep interior doors closed to retain heat, and use safe space heaters or extra blankets if indoor temperatures are dropping. 4) Gather any warranty paperwork or recent service records; this helps the technician diagnose faster. 5) Clear a path to the equipment so our tech can set up tools immediately upon arrival.
How much does emergency heating repair cost, and will you quote me before starting work?
Our diagnostic fee for emergency calls in the greater Huntsville area starts at $89, which includes travel, a full system inspection, and a written estimate. After diagnosis, we present flat-rate pricing for parts and labor—no surprise hourly charges. Most common repairs, such as igniter replacement or blower motor repair, range from $150 to $450. We obtain your approval in writing before any work begins, and we accept major credit cards, checks, and financing on larger repairs.
Do you really offer 24/7 service, even on holidays?
Absolutely. Heating problems don’t keep office hours, so neither do we. Our dispatch center is staffed around the clock, and we maintain a rotating schedule of on-call technicians who live in or near Huntsville. Whether it’s 3 a.m. on a Tuesday or Christmas Day, you’ll reach a live representative who can schedule immediate service.
What can I do to prevent future heating emergencies?
1) Schedule professional maintenance every fall—cleaning burners, checking safety controls, and replacing filters reduces breakdowns by up to 50%. 2) Change or wash air filters every 1–3 months. 3) Keep outdoor heat-pump units clear of leaves and debris for proper airflow. 4) Install a programmable thermostat to avoid over-cycling the system. 5) Consider enrolling in our Comfort Club plan, which includes two tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, and repair discounts—helping Huntsville homeowners extend equipment life and catch small issues before they become emergencies.
