How Emergency HVAC Calls Are Handled

When you call for emergency service in Katy, a technician responds with diagnostic tools, common replacement parts, and the ability to assess your system on-site. The technician will test electrical connections, check refrigerant levels, inspect safety controls, and identify why the system stopped working. In many cases, repairs can be completed during the first visit, especially if the issue involves a failed capacitor, tripped breaker, or ignition component.

After the repair, your system will be tested to confirm it is cooling or heating properly and running safely. You will notice the indoor temperature returning to a comfortable level, and the system will operate without the symptoms that caused the failure. If a part needs to be ordered or a more complex repair is required, the technician will explain what comes next and provide a timeline.

Emergency service does not include routine maintenance, filter changes, or non-urgent repairs that can wait for a scheduled appointment. The focus is on restoring function when the system has completely stopped working or poses a safety concern. Pricing is communicated clearly before work begins, and no repairs are made without your approval.

What you should know before calling for emergency service

Below are answers to questions about emergency HVAC service, pricing, response times, and what to do while waiting for a technician to arrive.

What counts as an HVAC emergency?
An emergency is any situation where your heating or cooling system has completely stopped working, especially during extreme weather, or when there is a safety concern such as a gas smell, electrical sparking, or unusual overheating. Minor issues like weak airflow or temperature inconsistencies are better handled during regular hours.
How quickly can a technician arrive for emergency service?
Response times vary depending on call volume and location within the Katy area, but most emergency calls are answered within a few hours. When you call, you will be given an estimated arrival window and updates if delays occur.
What is the after-hours service fee?
The after-hours trip fee starts at $150, which covers the technician's arrival and diagnostic work. Repair costs are separate and will be quoted before any work begins. This fee applies to service calls outside of normal business hours.
What should I do while waiting for the technician to arrive?
Turn off the system at the thermostat to prevent further damage, check your circuit breaker to see if it has tripped, and make sure the area around the indoor and outdoor units is clear. If you smell gas or notice sparking, leave the home and call the technician from a safe location.
Will the repair be completed during the emergency visit?
Most emergency repairs are completed on the first visit, especially for common failures like capacitor or ignition issues. If a specialized part needs to be ordered or the repair is more involved, the technician will explain what needs to happen and schedule a follow-up appointment.

HVAC failures do not follow a schedule, and waiting too long to address them can lead to more damage or unsafe conditions.
