Emergency safety check
Check for an urgent HVAC or household danger.
Before we discuss symptoms or equipment, check for any of these urgent situations.
- A carbon-monoxide alarm or possible CO symptoms
- Gas odor or a suspected gas leak
- Smoke, fire, burning smell, sparks, or arcing
- Electrical shock, an active electrical hazard, or water contacting electrical equipment
- A suspected refrigerant release
- Severe indoor temperature risk involving an infant, older adult, medically vulnerable person, or serious symptoms
This answer does not mean the situation is safe. If anything changes, stop and get help.
