Heating Emergencies That Require Professional Attention

A complete loss of heat during a Connecticut winter isn’t the only reason to request emergency heating service. Odors, alarms, leaks, repeated ignition problems, and unusual equipment behavior can indicate conditions that require a qualified diagnosis.

Our technicians address heating emergencies that include:

• Gas leaks or smells: A sulfur or rotten-egg odor may indicate a gas leak. Leave the building immediately and call 9-1-1 from a safe location. After emergency personnel determine that the property is safe, contact us to inspect the heating equipment.
• Carbon monoxide warnings: Treat a carbon monoxide alarm or suspected exposure as a safety emergency, not an ordinary heating malfunction. Leave the building, call 9-1-1, and don’t return until emergency personnel say it is safe.
• Burning odors: A persistent burning smell can be associated with an electrical or mechanical problem. Avoid continued troubleshooting and arrange a professional inspection.
• Blowing cold air: Cold air from the vents while the heating system is running may indicate an ignition, fuel-delivery, thermostat, or equipment problem that requires diagnosis.
• Active water leaks: Water around a boiler, furnace, heat pump, or radiant heating equipment should be inspected promptly before the leak worsens or reaches electrical components.
• Loud or unusual noises: Screeching, banging, grinding, or rattling can signal a loose, worn, or damaged internal component.
• Pilot-light failure: A pilot light that repeatedly goes out can prevent a gas-fired system from producing heat. Don’t attempt to modify or bypass its safety controls.
• Rapid cycling: A system that repeatedly turns on and off is short cycling. We can identify whether the cause involves the thermostat, airflow, ignition, or another system component.

Safe Heating System Troubleshooting

If there are no gas odors, carbon monoxide alarms, burning smells, leaks, or electrical hazards, you can try a few low-risk checks that may restore operation. If your thermostat uses batteries, try replacing them. Then, confirm it is set to “heat” mode and that the temperature is higher than the current room temperature. If that doesn’t work, verify the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped and, when applicable, confirm that the system has fuel. If your system uses an air filter, inspect it and replace it if it’s excessively dirty and you feel comfortable doing so.

If your system still won’t start after these checks, it needs professional diagnosis. Don’t open equipment panels, bypass safety controls, handle fuel, or attempt gas, combustion, or electrical repairs yourself.
