HVAC Emergency? What to Do While You Wait for the Technician

By Bens Air Conditioning  |  Serving all of Maryland

Some HVAC problems can wait until morning. Others can't. Here's how to tell the difference and what to do in the meantime.

It's an emergency if

While you wait

No AC: close blinds, run ceiling fans, stay on the lowest floor, avoid using the oven, and turn the system off if the coil is frozen so it can thaw.

No heat: close off unused rooms, open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls, let faucets drip if temperatures are in the teens, and use space heaters safely, away from anything flammable.

What to tell the dispatcher

Your city, the type of system, what it's doing (or not doing), any error codes on the thermostat or furnace, and whether anyone in the home is at risk. That helps us prioritize and bring the right parts.
