After-hours breakdowns
Doraville Emergency HVAC Repair
When the cooling or heat gives out at night, the emergency line is answered by a person who helps you get safe and gets a technician moving.
Safe Steps While You Wait
Some failures cannot wait for business hours. A house with no cooling through a stretch of ninety-degree days. A furnace that dies when overnight temperatures fall below freezing. Water from an overflowing pan spreading across a ceiling or soaking a closet floor. A hot or burning smell from the registers or the equipment. A breaker that trips again as soon as it is reset. The emergency line handles all of these and is answered 24 hours. A few steps right away limit the damage. Leaking? Switch the cooling off, put down towels or a bucket and clear belongings from under any sagging ceiling. Burning or electrical smell? Kill the power at the thermostat, then at the breaker panel if it is safe to get to, and leave it that way. A breaker that trips repeatedly is telling you something, so stop resetting it. Gas odor? Everyone outside first, then the gas utility or 911, before any other step. Then check on the people at home. Older adults, infants and anyone with health issues are most at risk in extreme heat or cold. In summer, keep them in the coolest room with shades drawn and fans on. In winter, bring everyone into one room, add layers and use only space heaters made for indoor use. Once you are on the line, describe what happened and what you have already done.

Heat out near freezing

Burning or electrical odor
