When Home Furnace Repair Is an Emergency

Any furnace problem is serious. But some furnace repairs can be scheduled for later; some absolutely can’t wait. If your furnace problem poses a threat to life or property, it’s an emergency.

Emergency repairs include:

  • Cold air/furnace stops – If your heating system is blowing cold air or shuts down completely, it’s an emergency. Especially if the temperatures are below zero. Infants, elderly, and chronically ill loved ones need consistent air comfort indoors.
  • Electrical issues – Buzzing, humming, breaker tripping, flickering lights … all indicate a serious problem that can be dangerous.
  • Gas odors – Shut off your main and call 512-212-4777 immediately.
  • Leaks – Furnace/boiler leaks can cause a lot of damage quickly.
  • Noises – Something is damaging your system, and the longer it goes on, the worse the damage will be.

FAQs

Some of the frequently asked questions we receive include:

What is the smell coming from my furnace?

The first time you turn the furnace on for the winter, it may emit a smell. Some are normal; some indicate that you need service sooner rather than later; and some mean you should call SM Air ASAP.

  • Burning plastic – Something may be overheating. Shut off the furnace and call for service.
  • Burnt toast – Dust has settled on parts of the furnace; once it heats up, the smell will go away.
  • Metallic – Check the floor registers to see if something has been spilled inside them.
  • Musty – This could be mildew in your ductwork or on your filter. Change your furnace filter and schedule a duct cleaning. You don’t want to compromise IAQ (indoor air quality) for good health.

Why is my furnace making noise?

Some furnace noise you might hear include:

  • Clanging – The blower motor belt might be slipping. Not an emergency if you shut off the furnace immediately.
  • Clicking – This can be an emergency. A cracked heat exchanger can let carbon monoxide leak into your air. Shut off the gas and the furnace.
  • Duct pinging/popping – This is normal; it happens the first time air pressure is released in your ductwork.
  • Rumbling/booming – This could be dirt building in the burner. It’s not an emergency if you shut down immediately.
  • Squealing/grinding – Motor bearings might be wearing out, so shut down before they overheat/burn out.
  • Startup click/chirping – One click/chirp at startup is not unusual. Repeated clicking indicates a serious problem.
