Emergency Heating Services

Heating problems often give you signs before the system stops. In the Tennessee Valley, where weather can swing from warm to freezing overnight, those signs matter.

Some of the most common issues we see include:

• Heat will not turn on at all
• Loud banging, rattling, or grinding noises
• A burning smell or smoke near the furnace
• Vents pushing out cold air instead of warm
• The system turning on and off too often
• Carbon monoxide detector alarms
• A sudden jump in your heating bill

In older Huntsville neighborhoods, many homes still rely on aging furnaces that have been running for decades. These units are more likely to fail when a sudden cold snap puts extra strain on them. We also see problems in newer subdivisions when heat pumps are pushed hard during back-to-back freezes.

On average, a furnace or heat pump can last about 15 years, depending on maintenance. However, every system will eventually wear down due to old age.

While some minor issues can be repaired during a yearly maintenance visit, other problems are considered an emergency and should be addressed right away.

Once the heat goes out, waiting is not an option. Calling right away helps:

• Keep your family warm and safe
• Stop pipes from freezing in a cold snap
• Prevent small repairs from turning into bigger ones
• Avoid safety hazards from faulty equipment
• Restore comfort without delay
