FAQs
What situations count as a heating emergency in Tazewell?
Any complete loss of heat during freezing weather, unusual smells like burning or gas, sparking or smoking components, repeatedly tripped breakers, or a system that cycles on and off rapidly can all qualify as emergencies. These conditions can endanger your family’s safety, cause frozen pipes, and lead to costly structural damage, so call us right away if you notice any of them.
How quickly can your service team reach my home in Tazewell?
Our dispatch center is staffed 24/7 and uses GPS-enabled routing. In most parts of Tazewell we can be on-site within 60–90 minutes, even during nights, weekends, and holidays. Severe weather or road closures can extend arrival times, but we always give you a realistic ETA and update you en route.
Are emergency heat repair visits more expensive than regular service calls?
Because after-hours and rapid-response service requires technicians to be on standby, emergency visits do have a higher base fee. However, we never tack on hidden surcharges. You’ll receive a written estimate before work begins, and we waive the emergency fee if repairs exceed a certain threshold or if you are a Comfort Club maintenance member.
What brands and system types can you repair?
Our licensed technicians are factory-trained to work on gas furnaces, heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, oil furnaces, and packaged units from major manufacturers such as Trane, Rheem, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, York, and Bryant. We stock universal parts on every truck to fix 90% of problems in a single visit.
Is it safe to operate space heaters until the main system is fixed?
Portable space heaters can bridge the gap but pose fire and carbon-monoxide risks if misused. Keep them at least three feet from combustibles, plug them directly into grounded outlets (no extension cords), and never run them while sleeping or away from home. If you smell fuel or see soot, turn them off and ventilate the area immediately.
How can I prevent future heating emergencies?
Schedule professional maintenance each fall, replace air filters every 1–3 months, keep supply and return vents unblocked, and install a surge protector for your HVAC unit. Our Comfort Club plan includes two tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, discounted repairs, and documented inspection reports that uncover small issues before they turn into emergencies.
