HVAC Problems That May Need Prompt Attention

A sudden HVAC failure does not always mean the same component has failed. The symptoms help determine what should be checked and how urgent the problem may be.

01

Sudden No Heat

A furnace or heat pump that suddenly stops heating, will not start, blows cool air, or repeatedly starts and stops during cold weather.

02

Sudden No Cooling

An air conditioner or heat pump that unexpectedly stops cooling, freezes up, stops running, or can no longer maintain the indoor temperature.

03

Heat Pump Failure

Heat pumps with sudden heating or cooling loss, icing, abnormal cycling, defrost problems, unusual noises, or thermostat-related operation problems.

04

Abnormal HVAC Operation

Repeated breaker trips, sudden shutdowns, new noises, water near equipment, electrical odors, icing, or other behavior that begins with a noticeable system malfunction.

Life-Safety Problems

Some HVAC Problems Require Emergency Services First

An HVAC service call is not the first step when there may be an immediate fire, gas, electrical, or carbon-monoxide hazard.

If you smell gas, see smoke or fire, or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the affected area and contact the appropriate emergency service, fire department, or utility provider.

Do not remain inside trying to diagnose the HVAC system when an immediate safety hazard may be present.

Leave the area and seek appropriate help if:

  • You smell gas
  • A carbon monoxide alarm sounds
  • You see smoke or fire
  • There is a strong burning electrical odor
  • Anyone may be experiencing carbon monoxide exposure
  • There is visible electrical damage or arcing
Emergency vs. Routine Repair

Not Every HVAC Problem Is an Emergency

Some problems are uncomfortable or inconvenient but can still be handled through normal HVAC scheduling. Examples may include minor thermostat issues, preventative maintenance, weak airflow that has developed gradually, or equipment that is still providing heating or cooling but is not performing normally.

For non-urgent troubleshooting, maintenance, heating repair, cooling problems and ordinary HVAC service, use our HVAC Repair North Wilkesboro page.

An urgent call may make sense when:

  • Heating suddenly stops during cold conditions
  • Cooling suddenly stops during hot conditions
  • The system repeatedly shuts itself down
  • A heat pump suddenly stops heating or cooling
  • Equipment begins making severe or unusual noises
  • A breaker repeatedly trips when the HVAC system operates
  • Ice buildup appears along with loss of system performance
Before You Call

Information That Helps With an Urgent HVAC Call

You do not need to diagnose the system yourself. A few basic details can help explain what is happening and whether the equipment should remain off.

If it is safe to do so, note:

  • Whether you currently have heat or cooling
  • What the thermostat is displaying
  • Whether the indoor unit is running
  • Whether the outdoor unit is running
  • Whether a breaker appears tripped
  • Any unusual noises or odors
  • Whether there is visible ice or water
  • When the problem first started
