Do This First — Before You Call Anyone
Most no-heat calls can be triaged in 5 minutes by checking these basics. If the fix is simple, you’ll save yourself a service call. If it’s not, this information helps our technician diagnose faster when they arrive.
- Is the thermostat set to HEAT and above the current room temperature? (Not AUTO or FAN ONLY)
- Is the temperature setpoint at least 5 degrees above what you’re currently reading?
- Check the electrical panel for a tripped breaker labeled ‘furnace,’ ‘HVAC,’ or ‘air handler’
- Find the power disconnect switch near your furnace — it looks like a wall light switch. Is it ON?
- Check your air filter. If you can’t see light through it, it’s clogged and needs replacement immediately
- Is your gas service on? Check another appliance (stove, water heater) to confirm gas is flowing
When to Call Immediately vs. Wait Until Morning
Call for emergency service immediately if:
- Temperatures inside are dropping below 55°F — this creates risk for pipes and vulnerable household members
- You smell gas anywhere near the furnace (evacuate first, then call)
- The furnace is making unusual noises — banging, screeching, or continuous clicking without ignition
- There are infants, elderly residents, or pets in the home
- The issue has been persisting for more than 30 minutes after your basic checks
You may be able to wait until morning if:
- The home is still above 60°F and maintaining temperature somewhat
- You have a portable electric heater you can use safely in a central area
- The outdoor temperature is expected to stay above freezing overnight
What Covington Heat & Air Does When We Arrive
Henry’s licensed technicians perform a complete diagnostic — checking all ignition components, heat exchanger, gas valve, blower motor, limit switches, and control board. You get a clear diagnosis and written estimate before any repair begins. The most common issues (failed ignitor, dirty flame sensor, blown capacitor) are resolved in a single visit, same night, in most cases.
Protecting Your Home Until the Technician Arrives
- Gather household members into one central room — body heat helps
- Open cabinet doors under sinks to prevent pipe freezing
- Let a thin stream of water run from faucets on exterior walls
- DO NOT use gas stoves, ovens, or grills for heating — carbon monoxide risk
- Use electric space heaters only in open areas, away from flammable materials

Do you charge more for late-night or weekend emergency calls?
We’re upfront about our pricing. After-hours emergency calls may carry an additional service fee. We’ll communicate any fees clearly before any work begins — no surprise invoices.
Does Oklahoma’s weather make heating systems fail more often?
Oklahoma’s extreme temperature swings — sometimes 40+ degree drops in 24 hours — stress HVAC systems harder than more temperate climates. Combined with Oklahoma’s high dust levels that clog filters and coat components, systems in this region tend to experience more failure events. Annual tune-ups before winter significantly reduce this risk.
