For emergency HVAC, start with a real diagnosis of the system, controls, airflow, and visible equipment condition. The visit should produce clear next steps: repair, maintenance, replacement planning, or no immediate work if the system is operating correctly.
We schedule emergency HVAC across the San Francisco Peninsula with same-day appointments and 24/7 phone support. To book a visit or get a diagnosis, call (650) 396-3290.
About Our Emergency HVAC Service
When your HVAC system fails at the worst possible moment—a heat wave, a cold snap, the middle of the night—you need help fast. Our emergency HVAC service provides priority response for urgent heating and cooling problems throughout the Peninsula. Call us anytime, day or night, and a real person will answer and help you.
Not every HVAC problem is a true emergency, and we'll help you determine the urgency of your situation. True emergencies include complete system failure during extreme weather, gas smells from your furnace (turn it off and evacuate immediately), carbon monoxide alarms, and electrical burning smells. These situations require immediate professional attention for safety reasons.
When you call for emergency service, we'll first ask questions to understand the situation and ensure your immediate safety. If gas or carbon monoxide is involved, we'll instruct you to evacuate and call the appropriate utilities. For other emergencies, we'll dispatch a technician as quickly as possible—often within a few hours, even on nights and weekends.
Our emergency technicians arrive prepared to handle common failures, with trucks stocked with frequently needed parts. Many emergency repairs can be completed in a single visit. For problems requiring parts we don't have on hand, we'll explain your options, which may include a temporary fix to get you through until the part arrives or scheduling a return visit for the next day.
Emergency service rates are higher than regular service calls to cover the cost of maintaining 24/7 availability. We're upfront about pricing before we start any work. In some cases, we may recommend temporary measures to get you through the night safely, allowing you to schedule regular-rate service the following day.
How We Think Through Emergency HVAC
System behavior
We look at when the issue happens: startup, long run cycles, shutdown, or only during the hottest or coldest part of the day.
Airflow path
Filters, returns, supply vents, blower operation, and duct restrictions can create symptoms that look like equipment failure.
Control response
Thermostat calls, low-voltage wiring, safeties, boards, and relays are checked before major equipment is blamed.
Equipment condition
Age, service access, corrosion, prior repairs, and part availability shape whether a repair is practical.
Repair, Maintain, or Replace?
Repair first when the failure is isolated
A failed common part, dirty coil, drain issue, or control fault is usually a repair conversation before it is a replacement conversation.
Discuss replacement when the system is compounding failures
Repeated breakdowns, poor airflow, obsolete parts, refrigerant constraints, or comfort problems across the home can change the economics.
Do not size equipment by guesswork
For installation or replacement, load, ductwork, room comfort, and equipment placement matter more than simply matching the old unit.

Emergency HVAC Cost Factors
Safe Checks Before You Book
Check the thermostat mode
Confirm heat/cool mode, fan setting, batteries, schedule, and whether the display is responding.
Check airflow basics
Replace a dirty filter, open supply vents, and make sure return grilles are not blocked by furniture.
Look at outdoor equipment safely
Clear leaves or debris around the condenser, but do not open panels or touch electrical components.
Do not open electrical panels, bypass safeties, vent refrigerant, or keep running equipment that smells hot, leaks water, or repeatedly trips protection.
