Do I Have an HVAC Emergency?

Not every heating or cooling problem requires emergency service, but some situations should not be put off until normal business hours. An HVAC issue may require prompt professional attention when it affects your household’s safety, leaves your home without heating or cooling during extreme temperatures, or shows signs of an electrical or mechanical hazard.

Common HVAC emergencies include:

If there is smoke, fire, a suspected gas leak, or another immediate threat to your safety, leave the affected area and contact the appropriate emergency service first. Do not attempt electrical, gas, or refrigerant repairs yourself.

If you are unsure whether the problem requires emergency service, contact Blackburn and explain what is happening.

What Should You Do During an HVAC Emergency?

What you do before a technician arrives can help protect your household and prevent additional equipment or property damage.

Turn the system off when necessary. If you notice smoke, a burning odor, overheating, or severe mechanical noises, stop operating the equipment.

Do not repeatedly reset a tripped breaker. A breaker that continues to trip may indicate an electrical problem that requires professional diagnosis.

Avoid DIY electrical, refrigerant, or gas repairs. These HVAC components require specialized equipment and training.

Protect your household from extreme temperatures. If your home becomes dangerously hot or cold, consider moving vulnerable household members to a safe, temperature-controlled location while the HVAC problem is addressed.

Treat immediate hazards as emergencies. If you see fire or smoke or suspect a gas-related danger, leave the area and contact the appropriate emergency service before calling an HVAC contractor.

Once immediate safety concerns are addressed, call Blackburn at 918-423-2078.
