Local considerations
Carbon monoxide risk applies to any combustion appliance in a Alma home. A working alarm near sleeping areas is the only reliable warning, and a sounding alarm means leaving the building before calling anyone.
Hard continental winters put sustained load on furnaces with little shoulder season. That means Alma homeowners who defer maintenance past the first autumn cold snap are statistically more likely to face an emergency call than those who booked service before the season started.

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.

- Read next
- AC not cooling
What to do while you wait
- Switch the thermostat off so the system stops attempting ignition over and over.
- Confirm the gas supply valve is open and that a service switch has not been knocked off.
- Check the filter. A blocked one makes the furnace overheat and shut itself down.
- Keep interior doors open so the warmth remaining in the house distributes evenly.

Alma HVAC questions
What if my furnace is still under warranty?
Parts warranties of five to ten years are common, labor warranties are not. Have the model and serial number ready when you call so the provider can check coverage before fitting anything.
My furnace locks out after three tries. What is that?
Three failed ignition attempts followed by a lockout usually means the flame sensor is dirty, the igniter is weak or gas pressure is wrong. After a long idle summer, cleaning resolves it more often than replacing parts does.
Is a cracked heat exchanger repairable?
No. A cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide risk rather than a comfort fault, and the correct response is replacement of the furnace. Any provider suggesting a patch on one is giving you poor advice.
Can I run a space heater meanwhile?
Portable heaters carry their own fire risk and should never be left running unattended or near fabric. Never use a gas range or an outdoor appliance to heat a room, which is a direct carbon monoxide hazard.
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.
