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.
Are HVAC maintenance plans worth it?
Maintenance plans are typically worth the cost ($150-$300/year). Benefits include: priority scheduling, discounted repairs, waived service call fees, extended equipment life, maintained warranties, improved efficiency (10-25% savings), and peace of mind. Most plans include two annual tune-ups. Compare plan benefits and costs when choosing a provider.
Should I choose a heat pump or a furnace?
Heat pumps are efficient for moderate climates, providing both heating and cooling with one system. They work best above 30-40°F. Furnaces provide more powerful heat for cold climates and work in any temperature. In very cold regions, consider a dual-fuel system combining a heat pump with a gas furnace for optimal efficiency and comfort.
