Common Heating Emergencies We Handle
Even well-maintained heating systems can experience sudden breakdowns during extreme cold snaps. Call us right away if you notice any of the following urgent heating problems:
Complete Loss of Heat: No warm air during freezing outdoor temperatures poses a severe risk to your comfort and can lead to frozen pipes.
Gas Odors or Burning Smells: A natural gas smell indicates a potential leak that requires immediate action. Turn off your gas line, evacuate, and call your utility company and Masters right away.
Screeching, Grinding, or Banging Noises: Loud mechanical noises often signal a broken blower belt, motor bearing failure, or loose internal components that can cause catastrophic damage if left running.
System Short-Cycling or Constant Running: A heating unit that turns on and off rapidly—or runs continuously without raising indoor temperatures—can point to faulty limit switches, clogged filters, or electrical issues.
Water or Fuel Leaks Around Boilers/Furnaces: Pooling water or fuel near your heating system can cause structural damage, electrical hazards, or system failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do while waiting for my heating appointment?
If you have lost heat entirely, keep windows and doors closed to retain indoor warmth, open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air around pipes, and use safe auxiliary space heaters if available. If you smell gas or suspect carbon monoxide, evacuate the home immediately.
Should I turn off my furnace if it's making strange noises?
Yes. If your system is making loud grinding, screeching, or banging noises, turn it off at the thermostat or breaker box to prevent further mechanical damage to internal components while you wait for service.
Is a loss of heat considered an emergency in Indiana winters?
Yes. Freezing outdoor temperatures in Northeast Indiana can quickly drop indoor temperatures to unsafe levels, posing health risks to occupants and increasing the risk of frozen or burst plumbing pipes.
How can I prevent unexpected heating breakdowns?
Regular preventive maintenance is the best defense against winter emergencies. Annual heating tune-ups, routine filter changes, and safety inspections help identify worn components before they lead to system failure.
