When to Call Emergency Heating Repair
Not every furnace issue is an emergency — but these are. If any of the following apply, stop reading and call us at (209) 595-9367.
What To Do While You Wait
An 8-step cold-safety triage from our technicians. Run through this list right now — every step buys time and lowers risk.
- 1Switch the thermostat to OFF. If you smell gas or hear a loud boom on ignition, leave it off.
- 2If you smell gas: get everyone outside, then call 911 and PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 from a safe distance.
- 3If your CO detector is alarming: get everyone outside, call 911, and do not re-enter until cleared.
- 4Close blinds, drapes, and curtains to trap radiant heat. Block drafts under exterior doors.
- 5Gather the household into one interior room and close the door — body heat raises room temp fast.
- 6Layer clothing — wool socks, fleece, hats and gloves indoors. Hot drinks for adults; warm milk for kids.
- 7Use UL-listed electric space heaters only — never a gas oven, charcoal grill, or unvented propane heater.
- 8Check on elderly neighbors, infants, and pets every 30 minutes. If anyone shows confusion, slurred speech, or shivering that stops, call 911.
Indoor Temperature Drop Timeline
How fast a typical Central Valley home cools down after furnace failure on a 35°F night:
| Time without heat | Indoor temp | Health risk |
|---|---|---|
| 0–2 hrs | 62–68°F | Mild discomfort. Healthy adults are fine. Layer up. |
| 2–6 hrs | 55–62°F | Sleep difficult. Infants, elderly, and pets need monitoring. Move everyone to one room. |
| 6–12 hrs | 48–55°F | Hypothermia risk for vulnerable groups. Relocate infants, elderly, and anyone with health conditions. |
| 12+ hrs | Below 48°F | Dangerous for everyone. Pipe-freeze risk begins. Shelter elsewhere or at a community warming center. |

Common Emergency Furnace Failures We Fix On-Site
Our service vans are stocked with the parts that cause 90% of winter heating failures. Most calls are resolved on the first visit.
Failed igniter or flame sensor
The #1 cause of winter no-heat calls. Stocked on every truck — typically replaced in under 45 minutes.
Bad gas valve
Furnace clicks but won't fire. Same-visit replacement when valve is in stock.
Inducer or blower motor failure
Restores draft and airflow so the furnace can fire and circulate heat safely.
Cracked heat exchanger diagnosis
Combustion analysis and visual inspection — we red-tag any unsafe unit and present repair vs. replace options.
Control board / limit switch
Diagnose lockouts, error codes, and short-cycling at the board level.
Thermostat & wiring failures
Repair or replace failed thermostats and corroded low-voltage wiring causing intermittent heat.
Pilot light & burner cleaning
Re-light, adjust, and clean burners on older standing-pilot systems.
CO leak source diagnosis
Combustion analyzer testing of CO ppm in flue and supply air. We do not return unsafe units to service.
