24/7 Emergency HVAC Repair When You Need It Most

When your heating or cooling system fails unexpectedly, it’s more than an inconvenience—it’s a genuine emergency. A sweltering home in the middle of a summer heatwave or a frigid house during a winter storm poses significant risks to your family’s comfort and safety. At UniProAir, we understand the urgency and stress that come with a sudden HVAC breakdown. That’s why our dedicated team is on standby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ready to restore your home’s comfort and your peace of mind.

Is Your HVAC Issue an Emergency?

Sometimes it’s difficult to know if a problem warrants an emergency call. While any loss of comfort is serious, certain situations demand immediate professional attention. You are likely facing an HVAC emergency if you experience any of the following:

•  Complete System Failure: Your air conditioner or furnace will not turn on at all, especially during periods of extreme outdoor temperatures.
•  Safety Hazards: You detect a rotten egg smell, which could indicate a natural gas leak, or see sparks and smell electrical burning coming from your unit.
•  Loud, Alarming Noises: Sudden and persistent banging, grinding, squealing, or screeching sounds often signal a critical component failure that could cause further damage.
•  Inadequate Performance During Extreme Weather: If your system is running but cannot keep up with dangerously high or low temperatures, it puts vulnerable members of your household, such as children and the elderly, at risk.
•  Active Leaks: Pooling water around your indoor unit or signs of a refrigerant leak can cause significant property damage and indicate a serious system malfunction.

Immediate Safety Steps to Take in a Critical HVAC Emergency

While you wait for our technician to arrive, your safety is the top priority. If you encounter a potentially hazardous situation, please take the following steps immediately.

If You Suspect a Gas Leak (Rotten Egg Smell):

1. Do not turn any lights or electrical devices on or off. A spark could cause an ignition.
2. Do not use your phone inside the house.
3. Evacuate everyone from the building immediately.
4. Once you are a safe distance away, call your gas utility company’s emergency line, and then call us for the HVAC repair.

If You See Sparks or Smell Electrical Burning:

1. Go to your home’s main electrical panel (breaker box).
2. Find the circuit breaker that controls your furnace or air handler and switch it to the “OFF” position.
3. Do not attempt to turn the system back on.
4. Contact our emergency service line to have a professional inspect the system.

Common HVAC Emergencies We Resolve

Our certified technicians have the experience and equipment to diagnose and resolve a wide range of critical HVAC issues. With fully stocked service vehicles, we aim to complete repairs in a single visit, getting your system back online as quickly as possible.

•  Total System Breakdown: Whether it’s a failed capacitor, a faulty thermostat, or a motor seizure, we can pinpoint the cause of a complete shutdown and provide an effective AC Repair or Furnace Repair.
•  Strange and Damaging Noises: Grinding sounds can point to a failing motor bearing, while loud banging may indicate a problem with the blower assembly or a loose part. We address these issues before they lead to catastrophic system failure.
•  Refrigerant and Water Leaks: A refrigerant leak not only stops your AC from cooling but is also harmful to the environment. Water leaks from clogged condensate lines can cause extensive water damage and mold growth. We will locate the source of the leak and perform the necessary repairs.
•  Frozen Evaporator Coils: Ice buildup on your indoor or outdoor unit is a clear sign of a problem, often related to low refrigerant or restricted airflow. Running a system in this condition can severely damage the compressor, the heart of your AC.
•  Pilot Light or Ignition Failure: If your furnace’s pilot light won’t stay lit or the electronic ignition fails, you’ll be left without heat. Our technicians are skilled in troubleshooting and repairing all types of furnace ignition systems safely.

A well-maintained system runs more efficiently, is less likely to fail during peak demand, and can help you avoid the stress and expense of an emergency call.
