What Happens When You Call at 2 a.m.

Plenty of after-hours HVAC lines leave you without heat until the next business day. That's not how this works. When you call (952) 847-3387 and press 3, your call goes into the emergency queue and we can often start diagnosing over the phone. We've resolved genuine emergencies with a two-minute conversation about a tripped high-limit switch. When phone troubleshooting isn't enough, we dispatch. You'll know the plan before we hang up.

The After-Hours Fee — Honest Upfront

The $250 after-hours service fee applies on weekends, holidays, and after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. We say that clearly before anyone commits to a visit, because nobody should discover a fee on an invoice they weren't expecting. Regular business hours run Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Outside that window, the after-hours rate applies. What you get for that fee is a working system by the time we leave — not a scheduled appointment for next week. If the repair itself requires parts we don't carry on the truck, we'll tell you that too, and we'll get you stable before we go.

What a 24 Hour HVAC Call Actually Covers

Details below
Emergency service isn't one thing. These are the calls we handle around the clock.

No Heat in Winter

Igniter failures, flame sensor faults, pressure switch issues, and gas valve problems are diagnosable on-site. Minnesota winters don't wait for business hours, and a house drops temperature faster than most people expect.

No Cooling in Summer

A locked-out compressor or low refrigerant charge in July is miserable and can be dangerous for elderly family members and pets. We check refrigerant levels, electrical, and controls on the same visit.

Carbon Monoxide or Gas Concerns

If your CO detector triggered or you smell gas near the furnace, get out of the house first. Then call us. We won't ask you to wait until morning on a safety call.

System Short-Cycling or Shutting Down

A furnace or AC that keeps turning on and off without completing a cycle is failing to protect itself. Left alone it usually gets worse. Catching it at night is better than a full breakdown by morning.

Unusual Noises or Smells

Grinding, banging, or a burning smell from an air handler or furnace cabinet can signal blower motor failure or electrical faults. Worth a call before you lose the whole system.

Thermostat or Control Board Faults

Sometimes the system itself is fine and the control side has failed. We can diagnose control boards and thermostat wiring and get you back on a working call sequence the same night.

What to Check Before You Call — Real Phone Triage

We'd rather spend two minutes on the phone saving you a service call than charge you $250 for something you could have fixed yourself. Check these before you dial: confirm the thermostat is set to heat or cool (not just 'fan'), check that the furnace power switch on the side of the unit is in the ON position, and look at your breaker panel for a tripped breaker labeled 'furnace,' 'air handler,' or 'HVAC.' A clogged air filter can trigger a high-limit fault that shuts the furnace down completely — pull it and check. If none of that restores operation, call us. If you're unsure what you're looking at, call us anyway. The phone call is free.

How 24 Hour HVAC Service Works From First Call to Fixed

Details below
Here's the sequence from the moment you call to the moment the system is running again.

Call (952) 847-3387, Press 3

Tell us what the system is doing and what it's not doing. We start diagnosing from there.

Phone Troubleshooting First

We'll walk you through the most likely causes before rolling a truck. If we can solve it over the phone, we will. If we can't, we'll tell you what we think is wrong before we arrive.

On-Site Dispatch if Needed

We carry common ignitors, flame sensors, capacitors, contactors, and control components on the truck. Most straightforward failures get repaired same visit.

Honest Diagnosis, No Commission Pressure

Our technicians are not paid to recommend equipment. If the repair makes sense, that's what we'll recommend. If the system is at end of life, we'll tell you why — with specifics, not a sales pitch.

Why Repair-First Matters in an Emergency

An emergency call at midnight is exactly when some HVAC companies see an opportunity. You're cold, you're stressed, and you'll sign almost anything. We won't use that. Technicians at Full Time Heating and Cooling are not on commission and are not rewarded for recommending replacement. If your furnace has a failed ignitor and the heat exchanger is intact, you're getting a new ignitor — not a sales pitch for a new system. If the heat exchanger is cracked, we'll show you and explain exactly why repair isn't the right call. The difference matters, especially when you're making a decision at 1 a.m. We also offer free second opinions if another company has already told you that you need to replace something. It costs you nothing to get a second set of eyes.

FAQ Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers below
What exactly does HVAC mean? +
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. In a residential context, it covers your furnace or boiler, your central air conditioner or heat pump, the ductwork and air handling system that distributes conditioned air, and the controls that tie it together. Some definitions also include indoor air quality equipment like humidifiers, filtration systems, and ventilation units. A full HVAC maintenance program keeps all of these components working together efficiently.
How much does a 24 hour emergency HVAC service call cost? +
At Full Time Heating and Cooling, the after-hours service fee is $250 on weekends, holidays, and after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. That covers the diagnostic visit. Parts and repair labor are additional and vary based on what's failed. Common repairs like ignitor replacements, capacitor swaps, and flame sensor cleanings typically resolve in a single visit. We'll give you the repair estimate before any work begins. Every job is different — contact Full Time Heating and Cooling for an accurate estimate.
Can I troubleshoot my furnace or AC myself before calling for emergency service? +
Some things are safe to check yourself: thermostat settings, the power switch on the furnace cabinet, tripped breakers in the panel, and a clogged air filter that can trigger a high-limit shutdown. Beyond that, gas valve testing, refrigerant pressure checks, and heat exchanger inspection require tools and training. Call us before you dig into anything electrical or gas-related. The phone call is free, and we'll tell you over the phone whether it's something you can safely address.
How fast can a technician arrive for an emergency heating or cooling repair? +
Arrival time depends on how many calls are active and your location within our service radius. We cover a 20-mile area including Chaska, Waconia, Delano, Victoria, and surrounding communities. We don't promise a specific window on emergency calls because we won't tell you 45 minutes and show up in two hours. What we will do is give you an honest estimate when you call and update you if anything changes. Scheduled furnace repair visits include a confirmed 2-hour arrival window.
Does the after-hours technician have parts on the truck for common emergency repairs? +
Yes. We stock common failure parts including hot surface ignitors, flame sensors, capacitors, contactors, limit switches, and control boards for the most common equipment brands we service. Not every repair can be completed same-night if it requires a specialty part, but most straightforward breakdowns get resolved on the first visit. If we can't finish same-night, we'll get the system into a safe state before we leave and schedule the part return as quickly as possible.
Is HVAC emergency service available on holidays? +
Yes. The $250 after-hours fee applies on holidays the same as weekends. Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving, July 4th — the emergency line stays open. Call (952) 847-3387 and press 3. We don't run a skeleton crew over the holidays and then catch up Monday. If you need service, we're available.
