What Counts as an HVAC Emergency

Not every HVAC issue requires an emergency call, but some problems simply can't wait. A situation is considered an HVAC emergency when it poses a risk to your health, safety, or home, or when extreme temperatures make your house unlivable. In Lexington, KY, where summers regularly push into the 90s and winters can dip well below freezing, a failed system isn't just uncomfortable; it can be dangerous.

Lexington's humidity levels can put real strain on HVAC equipment, especially during summer. High moisture in the air forces your air conditioner to work harder, which increases the chance of breakdowns. Our technicians understand how local climate conditions affect home comfort systems and are equipped to handle the issues that come with them.

Steps to Take Before the Technician Arrives

While you wait for our team, there are a few simple things you can do to stay safe and help us get the job done faster:

Check your thermostat settings to make sure the system is set correctly.
Replace or check your air filter if it appears clogged, since restricted airflow is a common cause of system failures.
Reset your circuit breaker if your system has no power, but do not reset it more than once.
If you smell gas or suspect a carbon monoxide leak, leave your home immediately and call 911 before calling us.
Clear the area around your indoor and outdoor units so our technician can access them quickly.
