What Counts as a Furnace Emergency?

Not every furnace issue requires an emergency call — but these situations do. Call us immediately if you experience any of the following:

🚨 No heat when outdoor temps are below freezing.
🚨 You smell gas near your furnace.
🚨 Carbon monoxide detector is going off.
🚨 Furnace making loud banging or popping sounds.
🚨 Electrical burning smell from the unit.
🚨 Furnace completely unresponsive won't start at all.
🚨 Pilot light repeatedly going out.

What to Do Before We Arrive?

Step 1: Check the Thermostat
Make sure your thermostat is set to Heat mode and the temperature is set higher than the current room temperature. Replace batteries if needed this solves more problems than you'd expect.

Step 2: Check the Circuit Breaker
Go to your electrical panel and look for a tripped breaker. If the furnace breaker is tripped, reset it once. If it trips again immediately, stop and wait for our technician.

Step 3: Check the Air Filter
A severely clogged filter can cause your furnace to overheat and shut down as a safety measure. Check your filter, if it is grey and blocked, replace it before calling.

Step 4: Check the Pilot Light
For older gas furnaces, check if the pilot light is on. If it is out, follow your furnace manual to relight it. If it keeps going out, do not keep trying.

Step 5: Call Us
If none of the above steps restored your heat, call our emergency line. Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or self-repair the furnace. Gas and electrical systems require a licensed technician.

Common Causes of Emergency Furnace Breakdowns
Understanding why furnaces fail helps Spokane homeowners know what to expect. Here are the most common causes our technicians see on emergency calls:

1. Igniter or Pilot Light Failure:
The igniter is the most commonly replaced furnace part. When it fails, your furnace won't produce heat at all — even though everything else may work fine. Most igniter replacements are completed same day.

2. Cracked Heat Exchanger:
This is a serious safety issue. A cracked heat exchanger can leak carbon monoxide into your home. If your CO detector goes off, this is the first thing we check. Do not run your furnace if you suspect a cracked heat exchanger.

3. Blower Motor Failure:
The blower motor circulates warm air through your home. When it fails, your furnace may still produce heat — but none of it reaches your rooms. You'll hear the furnace running but feel no warmth from the vents.

4. Clogged Burners:
Dust and debris accumulate in burners over time. Clogged burners reduce heat output, cause strange noises, and can lead to dangerous incomplete combustion. A professional cleaning restores full function.

5. Thermostat Malfunction:
Sometimes the problem is not the furnace at all, it is a faulty thermostat sending incorrect signals. Our technicians check both the furnace and the thermostat on every emergency call.

6. Gas Supply Issues:
If your gas furnace is not producing heat and other gas appliances in your home are also not working, the issue may be with your gas supply. Contact your gas company and call us. We will diagnose the furnace side.
