HVAC Marketing 360 — frequently asked questions
What should I do if I smell gas or my carbon monoxide alarm goes off?+
Leave the home right away, then call your gas utility's emergency line or 911 from outside. Don't flip switches, light anything or try to find the problem yourself, and don't go back in until the utility or fire department says it's safe.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?+
Common reasons include a thermostat set to "fan on", a dirty filter, an ignition or pilot problem, or the system overheating and shutting down. Check the thermostat setting and the filter; anything involving gas, burners or wiring is a job for a qualified HVAC technician.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?+
It is often a dirty filter, a frozen coil, a tripped outdoor unit, or low refrigerant from a leak. Replace the filter and check that the outdoor unit is running and clear; refrigerant and electrical repairs require a licensed technician.
How often should my AC and furnace be serviced?+
Many manufacturers recommend professional maintenance once a year for each system — typically the AC before summer and the furnace before winter — and checking filters regularly. Your system's manual and your technician can tell you what applies to your equipment.
Should I repair or replace my HVAC system?+
It depends on the system's age and condition, how often it breaks down, repair costs compared with replacement, and efficiency. Ask for a written diagnosis, ask whether parts are still available, and get more than one quote for a replacement.
Does my HVAC contractor need a license?+
Licensing rules vary by state and sometimes by city or county. Ask any contractor for their license number and proof of insurance, and check it with your state or local licensing board before work begins.
Is this site an HVAC company?+
No. HVAC Marketing 360 is an educational website and referral directory. We explain common heating, cooling and home service problems and connect you with independent local pros; we don't perform work or guarantee any provider's work.
