What Is A Furnace Emergency?

A furnace emergency is a failure that threatens the safety of the occupants, leaves the property without heat during dangerously cold weather, or could cause further damage if the system keeps running. The urgency also depends on who is in the home. Infants, older adults, and people with certain health conditions may be more vulnerable when indoor temperatures fall.

Gas odors, carbon monoxide alarms, smoke, sparking, and burning smells require immediate action regardless of the outdoor temperature. Leave the property when a gas or carbon monoxide hazard may be present. Don’t return until emergency personnel or the gas utility says it’s safe. If you aren’t sure if your situation is an emergency, call Blue Dot and describe the situation. Don’t use the oven, range, outdoor heater, or generator to heat the house while waiting for service.

Signs You Need Emergency Furnace Repair in Topeka

Turn the furnace off if it appears unsafe to operate. Don’t remove panels or attempt to repair gas, combustion, or electrical components.

You Smell Natural Gas

Natural gas is commonly given a sulfur-like or rotten-egg odor to make leaks easier to detect. Don’t operate switches, use a flame, or remain inside to locate the source. Leave immediately and contact 911 or your gas utility from a safe location.

Your Carbon Monoxide Alarm Goes Off

Carbon monoxide has no color or odor, so an alarm should always be taken seriously. Get everyone outside and call 911. An HVAC technician can inspect the furnace after emergency personnel determine that it is safe to enter.

The Furnace Produces Smoke or a Burning Odor

Smoke or the smell of burning plastic may indicate overheated wiring, a failing motor, or another electrical problem. Shut the furnace off if you can do so safely. If there is visible smoke or fire, leave the property and call 911.

The Pilot Flame is Yellow or Unstable

A gas furnace pilot flame should normally appear blue. A yellow, flickering, or unstable flame may indicate a combustion or ventilation problem. Turn the furnace off and arrange an inspection rather than continuing to operate it.

The Furnace Stops During Freezing Weather

A complete heating failure can quickly become more serious when outdoor temperatures are below freezing. In addition to falling indoor temperatures, prolonged heat loss may put plumbing at risk. Call for emergency service if the furnace won’t start, repeatedly shuts down, or only blows cold air.

The Furnace Repeatedly Trips a Breaker

Resetting a furnace breaker over and over doesn’t correct the underlying problem. Repeated trips may indicate damaged wiring, an overloaded circuit, or a failing electrical component. Leave the breaker off and call for professional help.
