Signs You Need Emergency Furnace Repair

Recognizing red flags early can prevent full system failures and safety risks.

Sudden Loss of Heat

If the system stops producing warm air, the cause may be an ignition failure, fuel‑delivery issue, tripped safety, or electrical fault. Power the unit off at the service switch or breaker and schedule an emergency diagnostic to restore heat safely.

Strange Noises or Burning Smells

Loud banging or squealing can point to motor, bearing, or combustion problems; a burning smell can indicate overheating components. Shut the system down immediately; if you smell gas or a CO alarm sounds, evacuate and contact your gas utility or emergency services.

Pilot Light or Ignition Failure

Repeatedly failed starts or a pilot that won’t stay lit often signals deeper combustion or airflow issues. For safety, do not attempt DIY relights or disassembly book professional service.
