HVAC systems don’t wait for business hours to break down. If your heat goes out in the middle of a snowy night or your AC fails during a sweltering weekend, you need help—fast.

At Generation Air Conditioning & Heating, we provide 7-day emergency HVAC repair to restore comfort and safety to homes and businesses across Shenandoah Junction, WV, and nearby communities. This guide explains what qualifies as an emergency, what to do first, and how to prevent future issues.

What Counts as an HVAC Emergency?

Some HVAC issues are inconvenient. Others are true emergencies. Here's when you should call us immediately:



Common HVAC Emergencies:

• No heat during freezing temperatures
• No AC during extreme summer heat
• Burning smells or electrical odors
• Loud banging, screeching, or grinding sounds
• Gas furnace ignition issues or suspected carbon monoxide leaks
• Rapid on/off cycling or system won't start at all

If your safety, health, or home comfort is at risk, don’t wait—call right away.

What to Do Before Calling for Emergency HVAC Service

Before picking up the phone, take these steps to potentially fix or isolate the problem:



1. Check Your Thermostat - Ensure it's set to the correct mode (heat or cool) and that the temperature is set properly. Try replacing the batteries.
2. Inspect the Breaker Panel - Look for tripped breakers and reset if necessary.
3. Change the Air Filter - A clogged filter can cause airflow problems or even shutdowns.
4. Look and Listen - Take note of strange sounds, smells, or visible issues to report when calling—this helps speed up the diagnosis.

If the system still won’t operate properly, it’s time to call the pros.
