What Can I Do While Waiting for an HVAC Technician?

While waiting for an HVAC technician, check that the thermostat has power and is set correctly, replace a dirty air filter, and confirm the system's breaker has not tripped. If the AC is iced over, turn cooling off and run only the fan to help it thaw. In winter, close curtains and keep interior doors open to share warmth, and never use an oven or grill to heat the home.

What Counts as an HVAC Emergency?

An HVAC emergency is any heating or cooling problem that threatens safety, health, or property, such as a gas odor, burning smell, carbon monoxide alarm, or total loss of heat in freezing weather. Loss of cooling during extreme heat is also an emergency for households with infants, older adults, or people with medical conditions. Water leaking near electrical equipment should be treated as urgent.

Do You Charge Extra for Emergency HVAC Service?

Aire Serv of Kansas City North charges a $129 non-refundable fee for emergency, evening, and weekend service, and the fee is waived for Advantage Plan members. Regular business hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and technicians visit homes 7 days a week. The repair is priced upfront by the job, and the $99 diagnostic fee is waived when you approve the repair.

What Should I Do If I Smell Gas From My Furnace?

If you smell gas from your furnace, leave the home immediately and call your gas utility's emergency line or emergency services from outside. Do not flip light switches, adjust the thermostat, or use anything that could create a spark. After the utility confirms the home is safe, a technician can locate and repair the source of the problem.

Emergency, evening, and weekend service carries a $129 non-refundable fee, and that fee is waived for Advantage Plan members. Knowing the fee in advance lets you decide whether to book an after-hours visit or wait for regular business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The repair itself is priced upfront by the job, not the hour, so an urgent visit does not mean an open-ended bill.
The $99 diagnostic fee is waived when you approve the repair, so the cost of finding the problem goes toward fixing it. Fully insured technicians handle every emergency visit. Military members, first responders, and teachers receive 10% off, and if the failure calls for a system replacement, financing is available and new installations include a warranty.

What Happens During an Emergency HVAC Visit

An emergency HVAC visit from Aire Serv of Kansas City North focuses first on safety, then on restoring heat or cooling. Your technician checks for hazards such as gas odors, burning smells, tripped breakers, and water leaks, and confirms the system can be operated safely. Next, they diagnose the failure by testing electrical components, ignition or compressor operation, airflow, and controls. You receive an upfront price and an explanation of what failed before any work begins. Common failures, such as a bad capacitor, igniter, or blower motor, are often repairable in a single visit. Before leaving your Kansas City home, the technician runs the system through a full cycle and confirms it is heating or cooling properly.
