Signs You Need Emergency HVAC Service
It’s important to be on the lookout for signs your heating or cooling system needs immediate repair.
Signs you need emergency HVAC service include:
- Complete system failure: If your HVAC system doesn’t turn on despite checking the thermostat and power source, you may need immediate repairs, especially in extreme weather conditions.
- Burning or electrical smells: A burning smell or the smell of melting plastic could indicate an electrical issue, which could pose a fire hazard. Shut off your system and call for emergency service.
- Loud or unusual noises: Banging, screeching, or rattling sounds can signal serious mechanical failures, such as a loose component or compressor damage.
- Weak or no airflow: If your HVAC system is running but there’s little to no airflow from the vents, there could be a blower motor or ductwork issue that needs urgent attention.

Should I Repair or Replace My HVAC System?
Choosing between an HVAC repair versus replacement can be a difficult decision. In general, HVAC repairs are best for newer systems with minor issues such as dirty air filters, clogged condensate drains, or thermostat malfunctions.
By contrast, you should consider replacing your HVAC system if it:
- Is over 10 years old
- Needs frequent, expensive repairs
- Has experienced reduced efficiency without an increase in usage
These symptoms point to a failing system that’s no longer capable of satisfying your comfort demands.
