🚨 24 Hour Emergency HVAC: What to Do Before Help Arrives

When your heating or cooling system suddenly stops working, every moment counts. Acting quickly and calmly during an emergency HVAC issue can help protect your home, your comfort, and even your safety. At Howell Heating & Air, we know emergencies can happen any time, which is why our 24 Hour Emergency Service is always here—day or night. Here’s what you should do before our expert team arrives:

1. Stay Safe First! 🦺

  • Turn off your HVAC system at the thermostat and breaker if you notice smoke, burning odors, or hear alarming noises.
  • Evacuate the area if you suspect a gas leak, electrical burning, or carbon monoxide alarm. Fresh air is always better!
  • Do NOT try to repair electrical or gas issues yourself. Leave those to the professionals.

2. Identify Obvious Issues 👀

  • Check your thermostat: Make sure it’s set correctly and has working batteries.
  • Inspect your air filter: A dirty filter can cause a sudden breakdown.
  • Look for water leaks: Puddles or moisture around your unit can lead to bigger problems.
  • Listen for noises: Loud banging, screeching, or grinding are signs something’s wrong.

If your system is totally unresponsive, smells like something is burning, makes strange noises, or is leaking water or smoke, these are all signs that require immediate professional attention from Howell Heating & Air.

3. Protect Your Home & Comfort 🏡

  • Keep doors and windows closed to maintain temperature as best as possible.
  • Turn off any affected equipment (like whole-house fans, humidifiers, or dehumidifiers) to avoid further damage.
  • Keep pets and kids away from the affected area.
