What to check before calling
Confirm the thermostat is set to heat, replace batteries if applicable, check whether the equipment switch was accidentally turned off, and look for a clearly tripped breaker. Do not repeatedly reset a breaker or bypass a safety switch.
If the simple checks do not restore heat—or anything smells, sounds, or looks unsafe—stop and call. Tell us the equipment type, what changed, any error code, and whether the home has vulnerable occupants or freezing-risk plumbing.

- Indoor temperature is falling quickly

A straightforward House Tutor visit
1. Listen and inspect
We start with what you have noticed, then test the equipment and the systems connected to it.
2. Diagnose and explain
You receive a clear explanation of the cause, available options, and what can wait versus what should be addressed.
3. Approve and verify
You choose the work. We complete the approved repair or maintenance and verify operation before leaving.
Some situations require emergency services first
For a gas odor, visible smoke, fire, or a carbon-monoxide alarm, leave the building and call 911 or the gas utility from a safe location. Do not wait for an HVAC appointment. For life-threatening cold exposure, contact emergency services.
No-heat service FAQ
Is same-day service guaranteed?
No. Availability changes with weather, demand, travel distance, and the active call queue. Call for the next available appointment and ask about current same-day availability.
What information should I have ready?
Share your address, equipment type, thermostat reading, any error code, sounds or odors, and what happened before the system stopped.
Should I keep resetting the system?
No. One basic thermostat or breaker check may help, but repeated resets can hide a problem or create additional risk. Stop if a breaker trips again.
How can I reduce freezing risk while waiting?
Keep exterior doors closed, open sink cabinets on vulnerable exterior walls, use safe temporary heat only as directed by its manufacturer, and ask about shutting off water if freezing is imminent. Never use an oven or outdoor fuel-burning appliance for heat.
