Emergency HVAC FAQs

What constitutes an HVAC emergency?

HVAC emergencies include: complete system failure during extreme temperatures (heat over 90°F or cold under 40°F), gas leaks or smells, burning smells or smoke, electrical issues like sparking, refrigerant leaks with hissing sounds, and water leaks causing property damage. These situations can be dangerous and require immediate professional attention.

How much does emergency HVAC service cost?

Emergency HVAC service typically costs 1.5-3x normal rates. After-hours calls (nights/weekends) usually run $150-$250 for the service call plus parts and labor. Holiday rates can be higher. Many companies charge $100-$200 diagnostic fees for emergency calls, applied to the total repair cost.

Should I repair or replace my HVAC system?

Consider replacement if: your system is over 10-15 years old, repairs cost more than 50% of replacement cost, energy bills are rising significantly, you have frequent breakdowns, or your system uses R-22 refrigerant (being phased out). Repair if: the system is under 10 years old, the repair is minor, and efficiency is still good. A professional can help evaluate your specific situation.

What HVAC maintenance can I do myself?

Homeowners can: 1) Change air filters every 1-3 months. 2) Keep outdoor units clear of debris, leaves, and vegetation (2-foot clearance). 3) Clean visible dust from vents and registers. 4) Check and reset programmable thermostat schedules seasonally. 5) Ensure furniture doesn't block vents. 6) Listen for unusual noises. Leave electrical, refrigerant, and gas work to licensed professionals.
