Emergency Service When Comfort and Safety Can’t Wait
HVAC emergencies don’t always happen during regular business hours. When heating or cooling issues create an urgent comfort or safety concern, Bigfoot Heating & Cooling offers emergency HVAC service for Spokane homeowners — with clear communication, professional diagnostics, and respect for your home.
Emergency service is reserved for situations that truly can’t wait until the next business day.
What Qualifies as an HVAC Emergency?
While we do offer emergency HVAC service, true emergencies are rare. Most heating and cooling issues can safely wait until the next business day without putting people or property at risk.
Emergency service is generally appropriate only in the following situations:
🚨 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Concerns
If your carbon monoxide alarms are sounding or you suspect a CO issue:
Leave the home immediately
Call the fire department or emergency services
Do not attempt to operate your heating system
Once the home is safe and cleared by emergency responders, we can assist with evaluation and repairs as needed.
No Heat During Extreme Cold
Loss of heat may qualify as an emergency when:
Outdoor temperatures are below 20°F
The home cannot be safely kept warm through temporary means
Important Notes About No-Heat Situations
In many cases, a loss of heat can be managed safely until the next business day by taking temporary precautions, including:
Using safe, properly rated space heaters
Utilizing a wood-burning or gas fireplace if available
Protecting plumbing from freezing
Closing unused rooms to retain heat
We’re always happy to talk through your situation and help determine whether emergency service is truly needed.
No Cooling During Extreme Heat
Loss of cooling may qualify as an emergency when:
Outdoor temperatures are above 100°F
Cooling is necessary to maintain safe indoor conditions
When It’s Not an Emergency
The following situations typically do not require after-hours emergency service and can be scheduled during normal business hours:
Systems that are still partially operating
Comfort issues without safety concerns
Routine repairs or maintenance needs
Second opinions or replacement evaluations
Our goal is to provide help when it’s truly necessary — not to rush service or create unnecessary after-hours calls.
Still Unsure? Let’s Talk
If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, give us a call. We’ll ask a few questions and help you decide the safest and most appropriate next step.
Emergency service is subject to after-hours rates, and pricing is always discussed before dispatching a technician.
