When your heat goes out and overnight lows are dropping toward the mid-20s, every hour counts. Our no-heat emergency line runs 24/7 so a family is never left in a freezing house, whether the problem is a gas or propane furnace, a heat pump, or a dual-fuel system that failed on the coldest night of the year.
No heat is often more than uncomfortable, it is a safety issue, especially for older adults, infants, and anyone with a medical condition. It also risks frozen pipes and real property damage. We treat these calls with the urgency they deserve and keep our trucks stocked to fix the most common failures fast.
When No Heat Becomes an Emergency
- No heat with outdoor temperatures near or below freezing
- A vulnerable family member in a rapidly cooling home
- Pipes at risk of freezing as indoor temperatures drop
- The furnace locking out and refusing to restart
- A burning smell or repeated safety shutdowns
- A heat pump iced over and producing no warmth
Common No-Heat Causes We Fix Fast
Most no-heat calls trace to ignition, a safety control, or a fuel-delivery issue. We diagnose the root cause quickly and safely, because heating failures often involve combustion that should never be rushed or ignored.
On a bitter Cumberland Plateau night the cause is often the part already working hardest: an igniter that finally burns out, a flame sensor crusted enough to drop the flame, or a pressure switch reacting to an iced-over intake or exhaust. We chase the actual root cause instead of just forcing a restart, because a furnace that keeps locking out is usually telling you something you do not want to ignore.
- Failed igniters and flame sensors on furnaces
- Tripped safety limits and pressure switches
- Gas or propane valve and supply problems
- Heat pump defrost failures and iced coils
- Dual-fuel changeover controls not switching to backup heat
- Thermostat and control board faults
What Our No-Heat Trucks Carry
A 3 a.m. no-heat call only helps if the technician can actually restore heat when they get there, so our trucks are stocked for the failures that shut furnaces and heat pumps down on the coldest nights. That includes igniters, flame sensors, pressure switches, gas valves, motors, and control components for gas, propane, electric, and dual-fuel systems, which is why most Somerset no-heat calls are fixed on the first visit.
Because combustion is involved, every no-heat repair ends with a safety check, not just a warm vent. We confirm the burner is firing cleanly, the flue is drawing, and the safety controls all function before we consider the job done.
- Igniters, flame sensors, and pressure switches
- Gas and propane valve and control components
- Heat pump defrost boards and reversing-valve parts
- Blower motors, capacitors, and thermostats
- Combustion and safety verification on every repair
How Our No-Heat Emergency Process Works
We help immediately on the phone, then get a technician moving as fast as the weather allows, with the parts to fix common failures on the first visit.
- Call our 24/7 line and describe the situation
- We provide safety guidance, including gas-smell steps, right away
- A technician is dispatched with common heating parts
- We diagnose and give upfront pricing before repairs
- We restore safe heat and verify combustion and safety controls
What Affects the Cost of No-Heat Repair
The failed component drives the cost, from an inexpensive igniter or flame sensor to a larger gas valve or control board. A standard diagnostic in Kentucky runs $70 to $180 as a non-binding benchmark, with after-hours calls priced for the timing.
Fuel type matters too, since propane and dual-fuel systems have their own parts and controls. If your furnace has a cracked heat exchanger or is simply worn out, we will keep you safely warm and lay out replacement options, rebates, and financing without pressure.
Protecting Your Pipes and Staying Warm Safely
When the heat is out and it is dropping toward the mid-20s outside, a cold house is only part of the risk. Water lines in exterior walls, crawlspaces, and unheated corners can freeze, split, and flood the home once they thaw. As indoor temperatures fall, open the cabinet doors under sinks so household warmth reaches the pipes, and if it gets truly cold, letting a faucet drip can keep a line from freezing solid.
For staying warm, gather everyone into one room, close it off, and use layers and safe blankets to hold body heat. Never run an oven, a grill, or an unvented fuel-burning heater to warm the house, because those produce carbon monoxide and every winter they injure people trying to stay warm. If you smell gas or propane at any point, leave the home and call us from a safe location. On the phone we walk you through the right steps for your system while the technician heads your way.
Ready for Ice Storms on the Cumberland Plateau
Our winters bring ice storms and cold snaps that expose any weakness in a heating system, and those same storms can knock out power across the plateau. We help homeowners understand how their furnace or heat pump behaves during an outage and how to restart it safely once power returns.
Because so many Pulaski County homes are off the natural-gas grid, we are ready for propane and dual-fuel systems on every emergency call. When the coldest, iciest night finds the weak point in your heat, you want a local team that already knows systems like yours.

Questions & Answers
No-Heat Emergency FAQs
Yes. No-heat calls are our top priority in winter, and we service propane, gas, electric, and dual-fuel systems 24/7. When lows are heading toward the mid-20s we get to you as fast as road and storm conditions allow.
Keep everyone in one warm room with layers and safe blankets, and open cabinet doors under sinks to help protect pipes. If you smell gas or propane, leave immediately and call us from a safe location. Never use an oven or unvented device to heat the home.
A heat pump that is fully iced and producing no warmth in freezing weather needs prompt service. It may be a defrost control failure or a refrigerant issue. Call us and we will diagnose it rather than leaving you without heat.
We do our best to respond as conditions allow and prioritize safety situations. Once power is restored we can also check that your system restarts safely, since outages can trip safety controls or damage components.
On a dual-fuel setup the heat pump and the backup propane or gas furnace hand off at a set outdoor temperature. If the changeover control fails, the system can get stuck on the heat pump in weather too cold for it to keep up, or fail to fire the furnace at all. We test and reset that changeover so the right heat source runs when it should.
A no-heat repair does not need a permit; permits, around $50 for residential work, apply only when equipment is replaced. After-hours calls carry a timing-based rate, but the price is always upfront, and if the fix turns into a replacement we handle the permit and lay out rebates and financing without pressure.
No-heat calls are our top winter priority, and we get to you as fast as the roads and weather allow. For rural homes off the beaten path in Pulaski County, an ice storm can slow everyone down, so we give you a realistic arrival window and walk you through protecting your pipes and staying warm safely in the meantime. Because so many of these homes run propane or dual-fuel, our trucks already carry the parts those systems need to get heat back on the first visit.
