What Qualifies as a Heating Emergency?
While any heating issue is frustrating, certain scenarios in our Michigan climate are true emergencies that require a prioritized, professional response. At Pro-Tech Heating & Cooling, we treat the following situations with the highest urgency:
- Complete System Failure (No Heat): When outdoor temperatures are below 40°F, your home can lose heat rapidly, putting pipes and residents at risk.
- The Smell of Gas (Rotten Eggs): This indicates a potentially explosive leak. Shut off your gas and leave the house immediately before calling for emergency repair.
- Signs of Carbon Monoxide: If your family is experiencing unexplained headaches, dizziness, or nausea, your furnace may have a cracked heat exchanger. We provide immediate safety testing.
- Yellow Pilot Flame or Excessive Soot: These are indicators of improper combustion and high carbon monoxide levels, requiring an immediate professional evaluation.
- Electrical Smells or Loud Banging: Burning odors or violent noises from your furnace can lead to electrical fires or total mechanical failure if not addressed instantly.
