ServicesEmergency HVAC Repair
Emergency HVAC Repair in Colfax, WA
If your furnace gives out at 2 a.m. or the AC stops during a heat wave, we answer at any hour. We track down the problem, put the price in writing before any work, and never add emergency or after-hours fees.
Real help when your heat or cooling stops
Emergency HVAC repair is for the moments that can't wait until Monday: no heat on a freezing night, a furnace that keeps shutting off, an air conditioner that stops while someone in your home is elderly, sick or very young. We come out, find what failed and get your system running safely again.
Our technicians work under a gas heating mechanical license, so we can safely handle gas valves, burners, igniters and venting on your furnace, not just the electrical side.
The visit doesn't end when the system starts. Before we leave, we explain what broke and why, show you the part we replaced, and tell you what to watch for. Then we check back over the following days to make sure everything is still running the way it should.
What an emergency visit includes
A full diagnostic
We check everything from the thermostat to the outdoor unit rather than guessing. Approve the repair, and the diagnostic charge is taken off the repair bill.
A written quote first
The price is in writing before we start. If you want to wait or think about it, the choice is yours.
Common parts on the truck
Our trucks stock igniters, flame sensors, capacitors, contactors, fuses and inducer parts, which handle a lot of the breakdowns we see after dark.
Gas and safety checks
With a gas furnace, we look for leaks, make sure the flue vents correctly and check for carbon monoxide near the appliance before we finish.
A follow-up call
After the fix, we call to see how the system is doing and answer your questions. If anything seems wrong, we want to know early.
Signs you need help tonight
No heat in cold weather
A furnace that won't start during a Palouse cold snap can let pipes freeze and rooms drop fast. Don't wait for morning.
A gas smell
Leave your home first and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Once it's safe, we can repair the furnace or appliance that caused it.
Burning or electrical odor
A hot-wire or scorched smell from vents or the unit can mean a failing motor or wiring. Shut the system off at the thermostat and call us.
Carbon monoxide alarm
Get everyone outside and call emergency services. A cracked heat exchanger or blocked vent needs a licensed technician before the furnace runs again.
AC down in extreme heat
For older family members, infants or anyone with health concerns, a dead air conditioner on a hot afternoon is urgent.
Breaker keeps tripping
Resetting it over and over can damage the compressor or blower. Leave it off and let us find the cause.

- 2
We find the fault

- 4
We repair and test
We fix the problem, run the system through full cycles and clean up our work area before leaving.
- 5
We check back
Over the next few days, we reach out to make sure your home is comfortable and tell you how to keep the problem from coming back.
What moves the price on an urgent repair
The clock has no say in your bill. With no emergency or after-hours fees, a furnace fixed before sunrise is priced the same way as one fixed mid-afternoon. The cost comes down to what broke and what it takes to put right, and you'll see that number in writing before we start.
- The part that failed
- Small parts like a flame sensor or run capacitor keep the bill modest. Bigger components, such as a blower motor, inducer motor or control board, mean more for parts and more time on labor.
- Age and type of system
- Older furnaces and AC units sometimes need parts that are harder to find, which can affect both price and timing.
- Access to the equipment
- Units in tight crawl spaces or cramped attics take longer to work on safely.
- Repair or replace
- If the system isn't worth fixing, we'll tell you honestly. Estimates on furnace installation or AC installation are free, and maintenance plan members can extend their install labor coverage.
Emergency repair questions
Something not covered here? (509) 769-3613
Is the rate really the same at night and on weekends?
Yes. There are no emergency or after-hours fees. You pay for the diagnostic and the repair, just as you would at midday.
What should I do while I wait for the technician?
If there's a gas smell or a CO alarm going off, get everyone out and call your gas utility or 911 before anything else. With no heat, draw the curtains, close off rooms you aren't using and run safe space heaters well away from anything that can burn. With no AC, keep the blinds shut and turn on fans.
Will you just patch it to get me through the night?
Our goal is a real fix on the first trip. If we have to order a part, we'll keep the system running safely in the meantime when possible and tell you clearly what's temporary and what happens next.
Can you work on gas furnaces?
Yes. We hold a gas heating mechanical license, so we handle the gas parts of your furnace, like valves, burners and venting, as well as the electrical controls.
Do you come out to Pullman or Moscow?
We cover Colfax and towns nearby, including Pullman, Moscow, Lewiston and Clarkston. Call and we'll let you know if we can get to you.
How do I keep this from happening again?
We go over that on our follow-up call, and routine tune-ups spot worn parts before they quit. Our maintenance plans include tune-ups, repair discounts and priority scheduling.
No heat or no cooling right now?
Reach us any hour. We'll talk you through safety steps, quote the repair in writing, and check back once the job is done.
