What to do right now

  1. If you smell gas: leave the house and call FortisBC's emergency line from outside. Don't call us first.
  2. Check the basics: thermostat on heat, filter not clogged, furnace switch and breaker on.
  3. Call us and tell us what the system is doing, the make and model, and any flashing code or error.

What we fix on emergency calls

  • Furnaces that won't ignite or keep shutting off
  • Failed blower or inducer motors
  • Control board and pressure switch failures
  • Heat pumps stuck in defrost or blowing cold
  • Tripped breakers and electrical faults on heating equipment

If the problem can't be fixed safely on the spot, we'll make the system safe, explain the options and give you a written quote. See furnace repair and heat pump repair for more on common faults.

Questions people ask us

No heat at all during cold weather, a furnace that won't stay lit, or a heat pump that's failed with no backup - especially with young children, older adults or someone with a medical condition in the home. A gas smell is a FortisBC emergency, not a contractor call.

Leave the home immediately, don't use light switches, appliances or phones inside, and call FortisBC's 24-hour gas emergency line from outside. Call 911 if anyone feels unwell.

Close doors to rooms you're not using, gather in one room, use electric space heaters safely with clearance from furniture and curtains, and never use a gas oven, barbecue or camp heater indoors.

We'll tell you the call-out and diagnostic fee on the phone before booking, so there are no surprises.

Usually not urgent. Emergency or auxiliary heat keeps the house warm while costing more to run. Book a repair, but you're not in danger.
