What to Do While You Wait for Emergency HVAC Service

While you’re waiting for our technician to arrive, there are a few things you can do to protect your home, your family, or your building occupants.

If your heating fails in cold weather:

  • Close curtains and blinds to insulate windows
  • Close doors to unused rooms to concentrate heat in living spaces
  • Use extra blankets and layers, but avoid using your oven or stovetop for heat
  • Open cabinets under sinks on exterior walls to prevent pipes from freezing
  • If the temperature is dropping toward freezing, consider opening faucets to a slow drip

If your AC fails in hot weather:

  • Close curtains and blinds on sun-facing windows
  • Turn off heat-generating appliances (ovens, dryers) if possible
  • Use portable fans to circulate air
  • Stay hydrated, especially children and elderly family members
  • Move to the lowest level of your home, where it’s naturally cooler

If you smell gas or your CO detector goes off:

  • Leave the building immediately with all occupants and pets
  • Call 911 first
  • Do not turn on or off any electrical switches
  • Call us once you’re safely outside

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency HVAC Service

Response times depend on current demand and your location in Anne Arundel County. When you call, we’ll give you an honest timeline so you can plan accordingly. We prioritize emergencies based on safety concerns and severity, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes.

Yes, a diagnostic fee applies to emergency service calls. This covers the technician’s time to evaluate your system, identify the problem, and provide you with repair options. If you move forward with the recommended repair, we’ll discuss all costs upfront before any work begins.

If your heating fails when temperatures are near or below freezing, that’s an emergency because pipes can burst and your family’s safety is at risk. If your AC fails during extreme heat, especially with elderly family members or young children at home, that’s also an emergency.

Check a few basics before you call. Make sure your thermostat is set correctly and has working batteries. Check that your circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Make sure your air filter isn’t completely clogged. If those simple checks don’t solve the problem, call us rather than attempting more involved repairs yourself. Working on HVAC equipment without proper training can create safety hazards or cause additional damage.
