Round-the-clock emergency repair when your heating or cooling fails. Same-day response for heat loss, AC breakdown, and safety hazards.
HVAC emergencies don't wait for business hours. A heating system failure on a freezing January night, an AC breakdown during a 105°F August day, or a gas smell from your furnace—these situations demand immediate professional help. Knowing when to call emergency service (and when to wait until morning) can protect your family and prevent costly damage.
No Heat in Freezing Temperatures
If your furnace fails when outdoor temperatures are below freezing, this is an emergency. Albuquerque winters don't reach the extremes of northern states, but January nights regularly dip into the 20s and 30s. Without heat, indoor temperatures can drop dangerously low within hours—especially in older homes with poor insulation. Families with young children, elderly relatives, or pets are at particular risk. Call 24/7 emergency service immediately. Emergency response times are typically 1-3 hours depending on the contractor's current calls and your location in the metro.
AC Failure During Extreme Heat
When outdoor temperatures exceed 100°F and your AC stops working, interior temperatures can exceed 110°F within a few hours—dangerous for anyone, especially infants and seniors. If your AC is completely non-functional during extreme heat advisories, call emergency service. However, if your AC is running but cooling poorly, and temperatures outside are still in the 90s, this can usually wait until business hours. The contractor will prioritize the most critical calls first.
Gas Smell or Odor from Your Furnace
Natural gas has an added odorant (mercaptan) that smells rotten or like sulfur. If you detect a gas smell near your furnace, water heater, or throughout your home, this is an emergency. Don't ignore it, and don't try to locate the source yourself. Gas leaks can cause explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning. Leave the house immediately, call 911 to report the gas leak, then call your HVAC contractor. They'll work with utility crews to locate and fix the leak safely.
Carbon Monoxide Safety Warning
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless toxic gas produced by furnaces when they malfunction or aren't properly vented. CO detectors sound an alarm if they detect dangerous levels. If your CO detector goes off, treat this as a medical emergency: leave your home immediately, go outside or to a neighbor's, call 911, and get fresh air. After emergency responders clear the home, call your HVAC contractor to diagnose the furnace problem. Never enter a home with an active CO alarm.
What to Expect During an Emergency Call
When you call a 24/7 emergency HVAC service, expect to provide: your address, a description of the problem (no heat, AC not working, gas smell), and the best contact number. The dispatcher will estimate response time based on current calls in your area. Emergency rates are typically 1.5x to 2x the standard service call rate—a $100-150 standard service call might cost $150-300 as an emergency. Some contractors charge an additional "after-hours" fee for calls between midnight and 6 AM. Always ask about emergency pricing when you call so there are no surprises on the invoice.
If the problem requires a part that's not in the technician's truck, the repair might extend into the next business day. In winter heating emergencies, contractors can sometimes install a temporary portable heater while they order and install the replacement part. Plan accordingly and ask the technician what to expect.
