What counts as an emergency
No cooling in extreme heat
Oklahoma summers regularly exceed 100 degrees. Indoor temperatures climb fast in an unconditioned house, and that is a health risk for older adults, infants, and anyone with a cardiac or respiratory condition — not merely a comfort problem.
No heat in freezing weather
Beyond comfort, an unheated house risks frozen and burst pipes. Oklahoma’s slab construction means supply lines run through walls and under concrete, and a burst line inside a wall is a much larger problem than a cold night.
Any suspicion of carbon monoxide
Alarm sounding, unexplained headaches or nausea that ease when you leave, soot around the furnace, or yellow burner flames. Shut the system down, ventilate, get everyone out, and call the gas utility or emergency services first.
Burning smells or visible sparking
Cut power at the breaker and call.
Water actively leaking from the unit
Shut the system off. Continuing to run it spreads the damage.
While you wait, in heat
Close blinds on the sun side, run ceiling fans, move to the lowest floor, drink water steadily, and if the indoor temperature is climbing past the mid-80s with anyone vulnerable in the house, relocate to somewhere cooled rather than waiting it out.
While you wait, in cold
Close off unused rooms, open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls, let taps drip to reduce freeze risk, and use only heating appliances rated for indoor use. Never a generator, grill or unvented outdoor heater indoors — that is how carbon monoxide poisonings happen during Oklahoma outages.

Common questions
What counts as an HVAC emergency?
No cooling in extreme heat or no heat in freezing weather, especially with vulnerable occupants. Any suspicion of carbon monoxide. Burning smells, sparking, or active water leaking from equipment.
Is emergency service more expensive?
After-hours and holiday rates are generally higher than scheduled service. In genuine heat or cold events, the difference is usually much smaller than the cost of the damage from waiting.
What should I do first?
Check the breaker, the filter and the thermostat before calling — those account for a surprising share of after-hours calls. If you smell gas or a CO alarm is sounding, skip all of that, get out, and call the gas utility or emergency services.
System down in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma summers run past 100°F and ice storms take the power out for days.
Neither is a good time to wait on a callback.
