What Is Considered an HVAC Emergency

Let’s start with this – any situation that leaves you feeling deeply uncomfortable is worth picking up the phone over. 

Beyond that, some general examples of what are considered emergency situations include these: 

• Gas leaks: The presence of a gas leak, indicated by a rotten egg smell or hissing sounds near the gas line, poses a serious safety hazard and should be addressed immediately. 
• Carbon monoxide presence: Detecting carbon monoxide emissions, often signaled by flu-like symptoms such as headaches and nausea, calls for immediate action. This gas can be fatal. 
• Burning smells: Unusual burning odors coming from your HVAC system suggest electrical or mechanical malfunctions that may present fire risks.
• Electrical malfunctions: Sparks, flickering lights, or tripped breakers associated with your HVAC system indicate electrical problems that need prompt attention to prevent electrical fires and system damage.

These four emergency situations are existential to your safety and that of your property. 

The following situations aren’t quite as dramatic, but they remain urgent: 

• Total system failure: This is well beyond the malfunctions of underperformance. If the HVAC unit shuts down entirely, don’t wait. Call right away. 
• Frozen AC coils: Frozen coils in your air conditioning system can reduce cooling efficiency and potentially cause water damage to your property. 
• Severe water leaks: Significant water leaks around your HVAC system or water pooling near components indicate a potential issue with drainage or internal leaks.

Tips for What to Do in an Emergency Situation

Knowing how to react in an emergency with your HVAC system can significantly minimize damage and maintain the safety of yourself, your family, and your employees. 

Follow these steps in the event of an emergency: 

• Turn off the system: In the event of a major HVAC issue, such as a gas leak or total system failure, immediately shut off the system at the main power source to prevent further damage or hazards.
• Evacuate the area: If you suspect a gas leak, carbon monoxide presence, or other dangerous situations, evacuate the property immediately and ensure all occupants are safely outside before doing anything else. 
• Document the situation: Note any relevant details, such as symptoms, actions taken, and observations, to provide clear information to our HVAC professionals when we arrive. More information leads to more efficient resolution. 

Then it’s time to call our office at (484) 203-4326. By following these tips, you can act swiftly, prioritize safety, and mitigate risks associated with unexpected system failures or hazards.
