FAQs
How quickly can you arrive for an emergency heating or AC repair in Monterey?
We have on-call technicians stationed throughout the Monterey Peninsula, which allows us to reach most addresses in Monterey, Pacific Grove, Seaside, and surrounding areas within 60–90 minutes—day or night, weekends and holidays included. When you call, our dispatcher immediately contacts the nearest certified technician and provides you with an estimated time of arrival and live updates until we get to your door.
What types of heating systems do you repair during an emergency visit?
Our team is trained and equipped to repair all major residential and light-commercial heating systems, including gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, hydronic/boiler systems, and packaged rooftop units. We carry a broad inventory of common replacement parts on our service vehicles so most critical failures—such as blower motor outages, igniter failures, limit switch or flame sensor issues—can be resolved on the first trip.
Are your emergency HVAC services available 24/7, even on holidays?
Yes. Heating or cooling failures rarely happen at convenient times, so our emergency hotline is staffed around the clock—24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year—including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. You will always speak with a live dispatcher who can send help immediately.
How much does an after-hours heat repair visit cost in Monterey?
There is a flat diagnostic fee for emergency calls, which covers travel time, a full system inspection, and a written estimate before any work is performed. The exact fee depends on time of day (evening, overnight, or holiday) but is disclosed up front when you schedule the call. Repair costs vary based on parts and labor required; however, we bill by the job—not by the hour—so you know the total investment before we start the repair.
Will an emergency repair void my manufacturer’s warranty?
No. All of our technicians are EPA-certified and factory-trained on leading brands like Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, and Daikin. We follow manufacturer-approved diagnostic and repair procedures and use genuine or approved OEM replacement parts whenever warranty coverage is involved. After the repair we provide documentation you can keep with your system records to protect your warranty.
What can I do to minimize damage while waiting for the technician?
If your heater or AC has stopped working, first switch the thermostat to the OFF position to prevent further strain on the equipment. For gas furnaces, shut off the gas valve if you smell gas or suspect a leak and ventilate the area. Avoid using portable heaters or candles unattended. If freezing temperatures are expected, open cabinet doors under sinks and let faucets drip slightly to prevent frozen pipes. Our dispatcher can walk you through additional safety steps based on your specific situation until the technician arrives.
