When Emergency HVAC Service is Appropriate in Ogden

Always Call for Immediate Dispatch

Gas leak suspected (smell of gas):: Call Dominion Energy emergency line (1-800-323-5517) first. Then call us if equipment-related. Gas leaks from utility infrastructure are not our scope.
Carbon monoxide alarm activation:: Get everyone out of the home immediately. Call 911 or fire department first. Then call us for diagnostic. Historic Ogden homes with cast iron boilers sometimes have CO issues from compromised flue venting. Older furnace heat exchangers also potential CO source.
Water leak from HVAC equipment:: Active water leak causing damage. Turn off equipment if possible and call us.
Electrical issues at HVAC equipment:: Burning smell from equipment, sparks, visible damage. Turn off circuit breaker and call us.

Emergency Call During Cold Weather (No Heat)

Sub-32°F outdoor temperature with no heat:: Standard emergency dispatch. Pipes at risk of freezing. East bench Ogden addresses sometimes colder than central Ogden.
Vulnerable resident considerations:: Elderly residents, infants, young children, medical equipment requirements, respiratory conditions all elevate dispatch priority. Vulnerable Ogden residents get priority routing even with longer drive times.
Multi-unit residential considerations:: Single-unit failure in fourplex: emergency for that unit’s tenants. Multi-unit boiler failure in older central Ogden apartment building: emergency affecting multiple households. Property management notification critical.
Historic district boiler emergencies:: Pre-1940 25th Street district homes sometimes have cast iron boiler failures. Boiler emergency service is different scope from furnace work. See boiler repair page.

Emergency Call During Hot Weather (No Cool)

95°F+ outdoor temperature with no AC:: Standard emergency dispatch. Health risk depending on indoor temperature and household composition.
Multi-unit residential AC emergencies:: Vanessa O. 25th Street triplex pattern: aging Bryant equipment with intermittent emergency dispatches before coordinated replacement decision.
