When this becomes an emergency

The house has been without heat for several hours in a hard cold snap.
Smoke or a burning odor is coming from the furnace cabinet.
A carbon monoxide detector has gone off in the house.
It is cold enough inside that pipes in exterior walls are at risk.

What a pro does

Triage happens over the phone before anyone rolls a truck. Smoke, a scorched smell, a gas odor, or a sounding carbon monoxide alarm move straight to the front regardless of the schedule, and an ordinary no-heat call still outranks maintenance work once it is genuinely cold out. Because temperatures here can swing thirty or forty degrees inside a day, the dispatcher asks what the forecast is doing as well as how long the heat's been off. Being straight about whether something is urgent gets everyone seen sooner.

Frequently asked questions

What actually qualifies as an emergency?

No heat in freezing weather, smoke or a burning smell, a gas odor, and a carbon monoxide alarm. A single cold room or a new rattle can usually wait.

Why does a warm afternoon change the urgency?

A chinook can lift the temperature far above freezing during the day and let it crash again after dark, so a house that seems fine at noon can be at real risk of frozen pipes by midnight.

How fast can pipes freeze without heat?

In a deep cold snap, lines in an exterior wall or an unheated crawlspace can start to freeze in a matter of hours.

Is there anything useful to do while waiting?

Shutting the main water valve, opening cabinets under sinks, and closing off rooms nobody is using all buy time until the heat is back.
