FAQs
What counts as a “no-heat emergency” for Benton homeowners?
Any situation where your heating system fails to produce warm air and indoor temperatures are dropping rapidly—especially below 60°F—is considered an emergency. This includes complete furnace shutdowns, heat pumps blowing cold air, tripped safety switches, gas smell, or electrical burning odors. Loss of heat for elderly residents, infants, or anyone with health concerns is automatically treated as urgent.
How fast can your team get to my home in Benton during a no-heat emergency?
We maintain on-call technicians 24/7 who are dispatched immediately once we confirm your address and symptoms. In most parts of Benton we arrive within 60–90 minutes; during severe weather we triage calls by risk level to ensure vulnerable households are reached first. You’ll receive text updates with the technician’s ETA so you’re never left guessing.
Are there any quick checks I should perform before calling for emergency heat repair?
Yes—first, make sure the thermostat is set to “Heat” and the temperature is higher than the current room reading. Check that your circuit breaker or furnace switch hasn’t tripped, and verify that the furnace filter isn’t excessively dirty. For gas systems, confirm the gas valve is in the ON position. If everything looks normal yet there’s still no heat, shut the unit off and call us—continued operation can damage the system or create safety hazards.
Can your technicians service every type and brand of heating equipment?
Absolutely. Our licensed, insured technicians are factory-trained to diagnose and repair gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, and ductless mini-splits from all major manufacturers (Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and more). We stock common parts on our service vehicles so most repairs are completed in a single visit.
Do you handle after-hours and weekend emergencies, and is there an extra fee?
Yes—we operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including holidays. There is a modest after-hours diagnostic fee to cover overtime labor, but we waive it for customers enrolled in our Comfort Club maintenance plan. All repair pricing is quoted up front before any work begins, so you’ll never face surprise charges.
What steps can I take to avoid future no-heat situations?
The best prevention is semi-annual professional maintenance—one visit before heating season and one before cooling. During a tune-up we clean burners, test safety controls, lubricate motors, check refrigerant pressures for heat pumps, and replace filters. Also: keep return vents unblocked, replace disposable filters every 1–3 months, and install a programmable thermostat to reduce strain on the system. Finally, enroll in our Comfort Club; members receive priority emergency service and repair discounts.
