Emergency HVAC Services Utah
A furnace that stops working at 11 p.m. in January is not a problem that can wait until Monday morning. Neither is an air conditioner that quits on a day when the temperature is pushing 105 degrees and you have kids or elderly family members in the house. When the system fails at the wrong moment, what you need is a technician who picks up, shows up, and actually fixes the problem, not a voicemail and a callback window that covers most of the next day.
Peak Air HVAC provides emergency HVAC repair Utah throughout Utah County and Southern Utah. Our technicians are NATE, EPA, and RMGA-certified with over 10 years of HVAC experience. We diagnose the actual problem and give you a written price before any work starts.

When to Call for Emergency HVAC Repair
Some situations need same-day service. Others can reasonably wait for a scheduled appointment. Here’s how to tell the difference.
Call for emergency service if:
- Your furnace has stopped producing heat and outdoor temperatures are at or near freezing
- Your AC has failed and indoor temperatures are climbing toward unsafe levels
- You smell burning or electrical odors near HVAC equipment
- You hear loud grinding, banging, or screeching from the system that wasn’t there before
- You see ice forming on the indoor coil or refrigerant lines
- Water is actively leaking from equipment in a location that could cause damage
- The system is running but the thermostat is unresponsive and you can’t control it
A note on gas smells: If you smell gas near your furnace or anywhere in the home, do not attempt to operate any switches or equipment. Leave the home, leave the door open behind you, and call your gas utility from outside. Once the utility has confirmed the home is safe, call us for the furnace diagnosis.

Emergency Heating Repair
Furnace failures in Utah County and southern Utah winters are urgent. A home without heat in January can drop to dangerous indoor temperatures within hours, particularly in higher-elevation communities where overnight lows regularly fall into single digits.
When your furnace stops working, the cause could be an igniter that has burned out, a flame sensor coated in residue that won’t confirm the burner is lit, a failed inducer motor, a tripped limit switch from restricted airflow, or a control board issue. Each of these produces a different symptom: a furnace that tries to light and shuts off, one that doesn’t attempt to start at all, one that runs the blower without producing heat. We diagnose from the symptom, not from guessing.
Common emergency heating calls we handle include furnaces not producing heat, ignition failure, blower motor failure, cracked heat exchangers, gas valve problems, and thermostat communication failures.

Emergency AC Repair
When an air conditioner fails during a Utah summer heat wave, indoor temperatures climb fast: especially in newer homes with good insulation that also traps heat. An AC that stops cooling in July or August is not something to wait out.
The most common causes of sudden AC failure are capacitor failure (the most frequent single-point failure on cooling equipment), a refrigerant leak that has finally dropped pressure below operational range, a tripped breaker from an electrical fault, a frozen evaporator coil caused by restricted airflow or low refrigerant, and condenser fan motor failure. A system blowing warm air, a system that won’t turn on, and a system that turns on and off every few minutes are all different problems with different fixes.
We identify the actual cause before recommending any parts replacement.
Emergency Heat Pump Repair
Heat pumps serve as both the heating and cooling system, which means a failure affects comfort year-round. In heating mode, a heat pump that stops working in winter carries the same urgency as a furnace failure. In cooling mode, the same as an AC failure.
Heat pump emergency calls typically involve refrigerant leaks that have dropped the system’s operating pressure, a reversing valve stuck in one mode, a defrost system failure causing ice buildup on the outdoor unit, compressor issues, or electrical component failures. Heat pumps also display error codes that, when read correctly, point toward the specific failed component.
What to Expect When You Call
When you call 801-367-9007 for HVAC emergency services Utah, you’ll reach someone who can get a technician scheduled. We’ll ask what the system is doing, what it was doing before it stopped, and whether there are any safety concerns like smells or noises. That information helps us arrive with the right diagnostic equipment and the most likely parts for your system type.
Once on-site, we run a full diagnostic before recommending any repair. You get a written price before any work starts. If the repair doesn’t make financial sense given the age of the system, we’ll tell you that and give you a replacement estimate alongside the repair price so you can make an informed decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as an HVAC emergency service Utah?
Any situation where the system has failed during weather conditions that make the home uncomfortable or unsafe, or where there are safety concerns like burning smells, unusual sounds, or visible equipment damage. A furnace out in freezing temperatures and an AC out during extreme heat are both emergencies. A system that’s slightly underperforming on a mild day is not.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the home immediately without operating any switches. Call your gas utility from outside. Do not re-enter until they confirm it is safe. Once the home is cleared, call us to diagnose the furnace.
Should I turn off my system if it's making loud noises?
Yes. Grinding, banging, or metal-on-metal sounds typically indicate a mechanical failure in progress. Shutting the system off prevents further damage. Call for service before restarting it.
How quickly can an emergency HVAC repair Utah be completed?
Most emergency hvac services Utah have common failures: capacitor replacement, igniter replacement, refrigerant recharge after leak repair, flame sensor cleaning can be completed in a single visit if we have the parts on the truck. More complex repairs or uncommon components may require a return visit. We’ll tell you what to expect before we leave.
