24/7 Emergency HVAC Service in Akron, OH
No heat on a January night or no cooling during a July heat wave can't wait for Monday. Emergency HVAC service is available 24/7 in Akron and Summit County. Call any time, day or night.
What Counts as an HVAC Emergency?
An HVAC emergency is any heating or cooling failure that puts people, pets or your home at risk. That includes no heat in freezing weather, where pipes can freeze, and no cooling in extreme heat, especially with elderly people, infants or anyone with a health condition in the home. It also covers furnace safety concerns like a burning smell or a carbon monoxide alarm.
If you smell gas or your carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the house now and call your gas utility or 911 from outside.
What to Do Right Now
- Check the basics: thermostat mode and batteries, the furnace power switch, breakers and the filter.
- No heat in freezing weather: open cabinet doors under sinks, let faucets drip, and close off unused rooms.
- No cooling in a heat wave: close blinds, run fans, and move vulnerable people to the coolest room or somewhere air-conditioned.
- Frozen AC lines: turn the AC off and the fan on to thaw.
- Call (234) 271-3726, 24/7.

Why Akron Systems Fail at the Worst Time
The coldest and hottest days push furnaces and air conditioners hardest, so worn igniters, weak capacitors and clogged filters tend to fail right then. A yearly tune-up catches many of these. → Tune-ups
