FAQs
What qualifies as an emergency heating or air conditioning repair, and how do I know I need immediate service?
An HVAC issue is considered an emergency when it poses a safety risk, could cause property damage, or leaves your home unlivable. Examples include: complete loss of heat in freezing weather, AC failure during extreme heat, the smell of gas or burning wires, refrigerant leaks, or flooding around the unit. If you notice any of these—or if indoor temperatures are reaching dangerous levels for children, pets, or elderly occupants—call us right away. Our dispatcher will help you decide whether immediate service is necessary.
How quickly can your technicians reach my home or business in Niota during an HVAC emergency?
We maintain a dedicated on-call team stationed near Niota, so our average response time is 60–90 minutes, depending on road conditions and call volume. When you contact us, a live representative will provide an estimated arrival window and keep you updated via text or phone if anything changes. Our service trucks are fully stocked, allowing most repairs to be completed in a single visit.
Are your emergency repair services available 24/7, including weekends and holidays?
Yes. Heating and cooling problems don’t wait for regular business hours, so neither do we. Our certified technicians rotate on-call shifts to ensure someone is always available—night or day, 365 days a year. You will always speak with a live dispatcher, not an answering machine, and there is no additional charge for holiday calls beyond our standard after-hours fee.
What should I do while waiting for the technician to arrive?
1. Turn off the affected system at the thermostat and breaker to prevent further damage. 2. If you smell gas, evacuate everyone, leave doors open, and call 911 before contacting us. 3. For water leaks, place towels or a pan to catch drips and shut off water to a humidifier if present. 4. Keep pets and children away from the equipment area. 5. Gather any warranty papers or previous service records; having them ready helps speed diagnostics. Once you’ve taken these steps, wait in a climate-controlled space if possible until our technician arrives.
How much does emergency HVAC repair cost, and are there after-hours fees?
We charge a flat diagnostic fee that is slightly higher outside normal business hours to cover overtime staffing. After diagnosing the problem, the technician will present a written quote that includes parts, labor, and taxes—no surprise add-ons. You approve the price before any work begins. We also offer financing options and accept major credit cards to make unexpected repairs more manageable.
Can you service all makes and models of furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioners?
Absolutely. Our EPA-certified technicians receive ongoing factory training and carry common replacement parts for leading brands such as Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Lennox, Goodman, and more. For older or less common units, we have rapid-order access to regional parts warehouses, usually within 24 hours. Whether your system is a gas furnace, electric heat pump, ductless mini-split, or commercial rooftop unit, we have the expertise and tools to restore comfort quickly.
