Smell of Gas
Leave the house and call your gas utility from outside. Do not touch switches.

Smoke from the Furnace

Winter HVAC Questions
Straight answers to what Cedar Rapids homeowners ask most before they call.
How much does emergency HVAC cost in Cedar Rapids?
Cost depends on the problem. A tripped safety switch or dirty flame sensor is a small repair; a failed blower motor or heat exchanger costs more. You get an estimate before any work begins.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
A common rule of thumb: if the furnace is past about 15 years old and the repair costs a large part of a new unit, replacement usually makes more sense. The technician can compare both for your system.
Why is my furnace making noise?
Banging, squealing, or rattling often means loose parts, failed bearings, or heat exchanger problems. Call for a diagnosis. Ignoring it usually makes it worse.
How often should I service my HVAC?
Once a year for the furnace, in the fall, and once a year for the air conditioner, in spring. Regular checks catch small problems before they become emergencies.
What if I can't afford a new furnace right now?
Ask about repair versus replacement. Many repairs can extend a furnace's life, and a technician can tell you which makes sense for your system.
What should I do if my furnace stops at night?
Check that the thermostat is set to heat and has fresh batteries, the furnace switch is on, and the filter is not clogged. If it still will not start, call. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility first.
How do I keep pipes from freezing if the heat is out?
Open the cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls, let a faucet drip, close doors to unused rooms and keep warmth in the rooms with plumbing. Never heat the home with an oven.
What size furnace or air conditioner does my home need?
It is set by a load calculation for your home, not by square footage alone. Oversized equipment short cycles and wastes energy; undersized equipment cannot keep up.
Don't Wait for an Emergency
Schedule a furnace check this fall and catch problems before the first hard freeze.
