Signs You Have a Heating Emergency
Some heating problems can wait for a scheduled appointment. Others cannot. Contact Flow-Tech for emergency service if you notice:
- No heat at all from your system despite the thermostat being set correctly
- A burning smell from your vents or heating equipment – this can indicate an electrical problem or overheating component
- Rotten egg or sulfur smell – this indicates a natural gas leak. Leave the home immediately and call 911 before contacting your HVAC company
- Loud banging, clanging, screeching, or grinding sounds from your furnace, boiler, or heat pump
- Pilot light or ignition problems preventing the system from starting
- Visible sparks, smoke, or any signs of electrical problems around heating equipment
- Rapid cycling – the system starts and stops frequently without completing a heating cycle
- Carbon monoxide detector activation – evacuate the home and call 911 immediately
When in doubt, err on the side of calling for emergency service. The cost of an after-hours service call is far less than the cost of damaged pipes, dangerous conditions, or additional equipment damage.
