When to call 911 instead
A contractor can fix the HVAC system; only the fire department, utility, or hazmat team can make the home safe when a life-safety scenario is unfolding. If any of these apply, get out first, call 911 from outside, and schedule HVAC service once the scene is cleared.
- Suspected carbon-monoxide (CO) leak. If you smell rotten-egg odor, hear hissing from a gas line, or a CO alarm is sounding, leave the home immediately and call 911 from outside. Do not re-enter until the fire department clears the property. Get everyone out first — adults, kids, and pets — before calling. CDC carbon monoxide info · EPA carbon monoxide guide
- Natural-gas leak or suspected gas smell. Call your gas utility's 24/7 emergency line first. Do not operate switches, phones, garage doors, or appliances inside the home — any spark can ignite gas. Before any digging on your property for HVAC repairs (condenser pads, gas-line reroutes, mini-split line-sets), call 811 at least two business days ahead so utility lines are marked. Call 811 before you dig
- HVAC fire, smoke, or visible flame. Evacuate the home, then call 911. Do not attempt to extinguish an electrical or combustion fire at the furnace or air handler without training. Once the fire department clears the scene, contact your homeowner's insurance carrier before an HVAC contractor touches the damaged equipment — photos and adjuster visits come first.
- Test your CO detectors at least once a year. CO detectors have a service life of 5–7 years — check the sensor's "replace by" date on the back of the unit. Batteries get tested annually (spring and fall daylight-saving switches are a common reminder). Install at least one detector on every floor and outside every sleeping area; a single CO event can be fatal at 150+ ppm within two hours. CDC: preventing CO poisoning

What counts as a HVAC emergency
- No heat with outdoor temperatures below freezing — pipe-freeze and health-risk territory.
- No AC during an active heat wave when indoor temps exceed 85°F, especially with vulnerable occupants.
- Burning smell, smoke, or visible flame at the furnace or air handler — shut it off and call immediately.
- Natural-gas odor near the equipment — leave the house, call the utility, then your HVAC pro.
- Furnace repeatedly shorts the breaker or trips the high-limit switch.
- Refrigerant leak with a hissing noise or visible oil staining around the evaporator or lineset.
What to do before the pro arrives
- Shut the system off at the thermostat and the service disconnect before the tech arrives.
- If you smell gas, evacuate first and call your utility's emergency line before an HVAC tech.
- Open windows to ventilate if you suspect CO or combustion issues; move pets and kids out of the room.
- Keep the area around the air handler clear so the tech can get on-site and working in minutes, not hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can an emergency HVAC pro get to me in Marietta?
Most 24-hour pros target a 1–2 hour on-site window inside the city core, longer for outlying areas. Confirm ETA when you call — and ask whether the dispatcher or the actual technician is giving the estimate.
What do after-hours and weekend surcharges look like?
Expect roughly 1.5×–2× normal labor rates outside business hours. Diagnostic fees in Marietta typically run $4275–$7695 for emergency calls and are often credited toward the repair.
Is the diagnostic fee applied to the repair?
Many providers credit the diagnostic toward the repair if you approve the work on-site. Ask before the tech is dispatched so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Are Marietta pros actually available 24 hours?
True 24/7 providers answer the phone with a live dispatcher after hours and can dispatch the same night. Some listings advertise 24-hour service but only return calls the next morning — call first and confirm a tech is being dispatched now.
