What counts as an HVAC emergency
No heat when the temperature is near freezing, especially with children, older people or radiator pipes along outside walls, is an emergency. So is any gas smell, any carbon monoxide alarm, a boiler leaking steadily, and no cooling during a heat wave for someone vulnerable to heat.
A noisy furnace that still heats, or an AC running a little warm, can usually wait for a regular visit. When you call, we help you decide which it is and what to do while you wait.
No Heat in Winter
When the house loses heat in a cold snap, the goal is to get it back and keep pipes from freezing in the meantime. We ask whether it is a furnace, boiler or heat pump, what the thermostat and the equipment are showing, and whether there is any error code. Most no-heat calls are an ignitor, flame sensor, circulator, pressure fault or a clogged oil nozzle, parts we carry. If a repair cannot be finished overnight, we say so and make the house safe until the part arrives. See furnace repair and boiler repair for details.
No Cooling in a Heat Wave
An air conditioner that quits on the hottest day is usually a capacitor, contactor, fan motor or a frozen coil. If the outdoor unit is humming but not running, switch the system off at the thermostat to protect the compressor. If there is ice on the lines, turn cooling off and run the fan to thaw it. Heat waves bring the heaviest call volume of the year, so we tell you honestly where you are in the queue and prioritize homes where someone is at risk from the heat.
Carbon Monoxide Alarm or Gas Smell
If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, get everyone out of the house into fresh air and call the fire department from outside. If you smell gas, leave without switching lights or appliances on or off, and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Once the house has been cleared, we find the source, which is often a cracked heat exchanger, a blocked flue, a backdrafting water heater or a leaking gas connection. The appliance stays off until the cause is repaired and tested.
After-Hours and Weekend Calls
Heating and cooling equipment does not fail on a schedule, so the phone is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. When you call after hours, we tell you the visit rate before a technician is dispatched, so there are no surprises. If our own technicians are fully committed during a storm or a cold snap, the call may be passed to another trusted local company so you are not left waiting. That is explained in the footer, and you are told before anyone is sent.
What we see in Bridgeport homes
Calls are dispatched from the service office on Brookfield Ave in Bridgeport's North End, which puts most of the city within a short drive, and from the head office in Guilford for the shoreline towns to the east. When you call, we tell you which office the technician is coming from and a realistic window for your address, rather than a promise that ignores distance and weather.
What to do while you wait
In winter, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, let a faucet drip, and close doors to unused rooms to hold heat. Check the thermostat batteries, the furnace switch and the breaker, and replace a badly clogged filter. In summer, turn a frozen air conditioner off and run the fan.
Do not keep resetting an oil burner, do not reset any appliance after a carbon monoxide alarm, and never use an oven or a grill indoors for heat.
