What is your thermostat reading?
Drag the dial to the temperature your thermostat shows now. The readout names the likely cause band, how urgent it is, and which page to read next.

- Likely cause band
- Cooling capacity loss: dirty coil, low refrigerant charge from a leak, or a failing capacitor.
- Urgency
- Call today
- Read next
- AC not cooling
What to do while you wait
- Set the system to off instead of raising the setpoint, which will not force it to run.
- Check whether the outdoor unit on a heat pump is iced over, and do not chip at it.
- Look at the filter and replace it if light will not pass through.
- Never heat a room with a gas range or an outdoor appliance. That is a carbon monoxide risk.

Keep anyone vulnerable in the warmest room while you wait, and avoid improvising with cooking appliances. A gas range used for heat is a carbon monoxide risk, not a stopgap.

Baton Rouge HVAC questions
Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm?
If any gas appliance runs in the home, yes. Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless, and a working alarm near sleeping areas is the only reliable warning. If one sounds, leave the building and call 911 from outside.
Do you work on boilers in Baton Rouge?
Yes, where a provider covering your ZIP code handles them. Boiler faults run to pressure loss, circulator pumps, expansion tanks and zone valves, which is a different skill set from forced-air work. Say so when you call.
Why does my furnace smell when it first runs?
A brief dusty smell on the first run of the season is normal as dust burns off the heat exchanger. A persistent burning smell, or any electrical smell, is not. Shut it off and call.
What if I smell gas?
Leave the building first, then call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not operate light switches, thermostats or phones on your way out. Call us afterwards, once the utility has made the property safe.
Why are my upstairs radiators cold?
Usually trapped air or a circulation problem rather than a failed boiler. Bleeding radiators resolves some of it. If pressure keeps dropping after bleeding, there is a leak somewhere in the loop worth finding.
