Emergency AC repair and emergency heating repair guide.
If the AC is frozen, the furnace is smoking, a breaker keeps tripping or you hear grinding metal, turn the system off at the thermostat and at the disconnect or breaker. Continuing to run damaged equipment is how a repair becomes a replacement.
Check the breaker, the condensate float switch, the filter, the thermostat batteries and the furnace door safety switch. A surprising share of emergency HVAC repair calls end at a tripped float switch or a door panel that was not seated.
In heat: close blinds on the sun side, run bath and kitchen exhaust fans briefly to purge hot air, move air with box fans, hydrate, and relocate anyone vulnerable to a cooler room. In cold: close off unused rooms, open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls, keep a slow drip on the most exposed faucet, and use layers rather than unvented combustion heaters.
Do not use a gas oven or grill for heat. Do not run a generator or unvented propane heater indoors. Do not add refrigerant from a store-bought can. Do not bypass a safety switch to force the unit to run.
Have your equipment brand and approximate age, what you hear and smell, what you already checked, and whether anyone in the home has medical vulnerability. That last detail affects how we triage. Our emergency and same day HVAC repair line is staffed 24 hours at (833) 659-2624.
A live dispatcher takes the call, triages by safety risk, and assigns the nearest available technician with a real arrival window. You get the technician name and text updates. Related: AC repair, heating repair, heat pump repair.

“Our air conditioner was making a loud grinding noise. It turned out to be the condenser fan motor. Repaired same day for a lot less than I feared.”
Whitney C.“Called at 6am with no heat and a house full of kids. Same day service, fair flat-rate quote, and they wore boot covers. This is now our HVAC company.”
Kevin O.“The mini split in our addition kept throwing an error code. Two other companies would not touch ductless. These guys fixed it in one visit.”
