24/7 Emergency Heating & HVAC Repair

No heat?

Call 513-574-0025, any hour, any day.

Heating systems tend to quit at the worst possible moment: a 10-degree night, a holiday weekend, the day guests arrive. Geiler Plumbing, Heating & Air answers emergency heating and cooling calls 24 hours a day across Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southeastern Indiana, just as we have for homeowners here since 1885.

Safety first: when to leave the house

Some heating problems are about safety, not comfort.

• You smell gas (rotten eggs or sulfur): leave right away. Don't flip switches, light anything or use your phone inside. From outside, call your gas utility and 911. 
• Your carbon monoxide alarm is sounding: get everyone, including pets, into fresh air and call 911. Don't go back inside until responders say it's safe.
• You smell burning plastic or see smoke from the furnace or air handler: turn the system off at the thermostat and the switch, if you can do it safely, then call us. If there's fire or heavy smoke, leave and call 911.

Once everyone is safe, call us. We'll take it from there.

Is it an HVAC emergency?

Call us now, day or night, if:

• You have no heat, and it's near or below freezing outside
• Someone in the home is elderly, an infant, or medically vulnerable to cold or heat
• The system keeps shutting off, or won't start at all
• Your heat pump's outdoor unit is encased in ice, or the system is running only on emergency heat
• Your boiler is leaking, banging hard, or the pressure gauge is reading high
• Water is leaking from the furnace, air handler, or AC into the house
• In summer: no cooling during a heat wave

It can usually wait for the next available appointment if:

• The heat works but a room or two runs cold 
• The system is noisier than usual but still heating normally
• It's time for a tune-up, or you're planning a replacement

Not sure which list you're on? Call 513-574-0025 and we'll tell you.

Quick checks before you call

These take about two minutes and sometimes solve the problem:

1. Thermostat: set to Heat, a few degrees above room temperature, with fresh batteries if the screen is blank. 
2. Breaker and switch: make sure the furnace or air handler breaker hasn't tripped, and the service switch near the unit is on.
3. Filter: a filter packed with dust can cause shutdowns. Replace it if it's clogged.
4. Furnace door: it has to be fully closed, or a safety switch keeps the system off.
5. Outside vents: on high-efficiency furnaces, check that the pipes outside aren't blocked by snow or ice. 

Still not working? Stop and call. Repeatedly resetting a system that keeps shutting down can hide a safety problem.

Emergency service for every heating and cooling system

Tell us what you have, or text a photo, and we'll send the right technician.

Furnaces: gas, electric and propane

No heat, cold air from the vents, a furnace that starts and stops, ignition failures. 

Heat pumps

Iced-over outdoor units, systems stuck on emergency heat, lukewarm air. 

Boilers and radiators

No heat or hot water, leaks, high or low pressure, banging pipes. 

Ductless mini-splits

Indoor heads that won't heat, error codes, outdoor units that won't run. 

Geothermal systems

Loss of heating or cooling from ground-source systems. 

Air conditioning (summer emergencies)

No cooling during a heat wave, water leaking from the indoor unit, an AC that won't turn on. 

Keeping your home safe while you wait

• Protect your pipes. In a long outage, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, and let faucets drip slightly on the coldest nights. If a pipe bursts, shut off the main water valve and call us. 
• Use space heaters safely. Keep them at least 3 feet from anything that can burn, plug them directly into a wall outlet (not an extension cord), and turn them off when you leave the room or go to sleep.
• Never heat your home with an oven, stove, grill, or generator. They can produce dangerous carbon monoxide indoors. Run generators outside only, well away from windows and doors.
• Keep warm air in. Close doors to rooms you aren't using, close curtains at night, and keep everyone in one or two rooms.
  
  

  What to expect when you call

  • A real person answers. We'll ask what's happening, what type of system you have, and whether anyone in the home is vulnerable to the cold. 
  • We prioritize. In freezing weather, no-heat calls and homes with infants, the elderly, or medically vulnerable people go first.
  • A technician heads your way. Our technicians dispatch from their own homes across the region, not from a central shop, so they can often reach you sooner. 
  • We explain before we fix. You'll hear what's wrong, what it takes to fix it, and what it costs before work begins. 
  • We get you back up and running. Most repairs can be done on the first visit. When a system can't be repaired safely, we'll talk through your options, including financing and The Advantage Program.
