❄️ Symptoms of a “No Heat” Furnace Emergency

  • Furnace won’t turn on at all
  • Furnace turning on but no heat
  • Burning smell, gas smell, or strange odors

During Edmonton’s extreme cold, a broken furnace can become dangerous within hours.


🛠️ What We Do During a No-Heat Service Call

Our goal is simple: restore your heat quickly and safely.

Here’s what we check during every emergency service:

✔ Full furnace diagnostic

We identify the exact cause of the failure — no guessing, no unnecessary part replacements.

✔ Ignitor & flame sensor testing

These are the most common reasons furnaces stop producing heat in Alberta winters.

✔ Gas valve & safety switch inspection

We ensure your system is safe to operate before restarting.

✔ Blower motor & limit switch testing

If your furnace is running but blowing cold air, this is often the issue.

✔ Electrical & thermostat troubleshooting

A simple thermostat problem can lead to a full heat loss.

✔ Venting & airflow safety check

Blocked vents or frozen intakes can trigger a shutdown.

Our technicians arrive stocked with the most common furnace parts, so repairs can often be completed in one visit.
