Frequently Asked Questions

During Rochester winters, a complete loss of heat is often considered an emergency, especially when outdoor temperatures are below freezing. Without prompt service, homeowners may face frozen pipes, water damage, unsafe indoor temperatures, and additional strain on their heating system. If your furnace, boiler, or heat pump stops producing heat during cold weather, contacting John Betlem Heating & Cooling for emergency service can help prevent further issues.

Before scheduling emergency HVAC service, check that your thermostat is set correctly, verify that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped, inspect the air filter for excessive buildup, and confirm that the furnace power switch is turned on. If your system still isn't producing heat, an emergency service call may be needed. These simple checks can sometimes resolve minor issues and help our technicians diagnose the problem more quickly.

If you smell natural gas near your furnace, leave the home immediately and move everyone to a safe location. Do not operate light switches, electronics, appliances, or open flames. Once safely outside, contact your gas utility provider and emergency services if necessary. After the area has been deemed safe, John Betlem Heating & Cooling can inspect your heating equipment and identify any furnace-related issues.

The answer depends on outdoor temperatures, insulation levels, and the condition of your home. During severe Rochester cold snaps, indoor temperatures can drop quickly, increasing the risk of frozen pipes, water damage, and unsafe living conditions. Even a few hours without heat can become problematic when temperatures fall well below freezing. If your heating system stops working during winter, prompt diagnosis and repair are recommended.

Yes. Rochester temperatures can drop quickly during the winter, and a loss of heat can create unsafe conditions for your family and your home.
