What Counts as an HVAC Emergency?

Homeowners often hesitate to call because they’re unsure whether their situation qualifies as an “emergency.” In our climate, heat loss can become dangerous faster than expected, especially overnight.

Call for HVAC repair if:

Your home has no heat during cold weather
Your heat pump is running but not warming the house
Your system is blowing cold or lukewarm air
Your furnace will not ignite or keeps shutting off
You smell gas, burning, or electrical odors
Your system trips breakers or won’t turn on
Indoor temperatures are dropping below safe levels

In Greenville and Birmingham, sudden cold spells are common and many systems are not designed for extended low temperatures without proper setup.

Emergency Heat FAQs

How do I turn on emergency heat?

When temperatures plunge and your home needs fast, reliable warmth, switching on Emergency Heat can make all the difference. Simply find the “Em Heat” or “E-Heat” option in your thermostat’s mode menu—or, on smart thermostats, go to Settings > Equipment > Emergency Heat.

How do I get heat "right now"?

If you need heat right away, switch your thermostat to “Heat” mode and increase the setting at least 5°F above the current room temperature to trigger the system. Make sure the fan is set to “Auto” or “On” so warm air circulates properly, then confirm the furnace power switch is turned on

What is emergency heat?

Emergency heat is a secondary heating source, usually electric heat strips, inside your air handler. It bypasses the heat pump and provides direct heat when outdoor temperatures drop too low or the heat pump fails.

Emergency Furnace Repair

Gas and electric furnaces can fail suddenly due to:

Ignition or flame sensor issues
Gas valve problems
Cracked heat exchangers
Control board failures
Safety shutoffs

If your furnace stops producing heat, do not attempt DIY repairs, especially with gas systems. Emergency service protects both your comfort and safety.

Emergency Heat Pump Repair

Heat pumps are common in both Upstate SC and Central AL homes, but they behave differently in cold weather.

Common heat pump problems include:

Unit runs constantly but won’t keep up
Outdoor unit icing over
Emergency heat not activating when needed
Thermostat confusion between heat and emergency heat
Electrical or defrost failures

We diagnose why your heat pump isn’t keeping your home warm and restore safe operation quickly.

What to Do While Help Is on the Way

If you’re waiting for emergency HVAC service:

Set your thermostat to HEAT (not COOL or OFF)
Increase temperature gradually (2–3 degrees)
Close doors to unused rooms
Use safe, portable heaters only if approved and monitored
Never use ovens, grills, or gas heaters indoors

If your system will not respond, emergency service is the safest option.
