Seasonal & emergency HVAC help
If your heat or AC quits, first make sure it's not a tripped breaker, a dead thermostat battery, or a clogged filter — then reach DuctPros at (606) 492-9767. We serve Somerset and the Lake Cumberland area Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, with Saturday by appointment and same-day service when our schedule allows. For a gas smell or burning-electrical odor, treat it as an emergency: leave and call 911 or your utility first.
First: is it a safety emergency?
Some situations need 911 or your utility before an HVAC company:
- Smell of gas: leave the home, don't touch switches, and call 911 and your gas/propane provider from outside.
- Smoke or burning-electrical odor: shut off the system at the breaker if safe, leave, and call 911.
- Carbon monoxide alarm: get everyone outside to fresh air and call 911.
Once you're safe and the hazard is handled, call DuctPros to inspect and repair the equipment.
Quick checks before you call
A surprising number of "no heat / no cool" calls have a simple fix you can safely try first:
- Thermostat: confirm it's set to heat or cool and try fresh batteries.
- Breaker: check for a tripped breaker at the panel and reset it once.
- Air filter: a clogged filter chokes airflow — replace a dirty one.
- Outdoor unit: clear leaves, snow, or debris blocking the condenser/heat pump.
- Vents & registers: make sure supply and return vents aren't blocked or closed.
If those don't bring comfort back, call (606) 492-9767. Still unsure why warm air is blowing? Our AC troubleshooting guide walks through the common causes.
Season-by-season HVAC tips for Kentucky
Lake Cumberland weather swings from humid summers to cold snaps. A little seasonal attention prevents most surprise breakdowns:
- Spring (cooling prep): book an AC tune-up before the first heat wave, replace filters, and clear the outdoor unit.
- Summer (peak cooling): keep filters fresh, watch for weak airflow or warm air, and don't ignore short cycling.
- Fall (heating prep): schedule a furnace or heat-pump tune-up, test the system before you need it, and consider a carbon monoxide detector check.
- Winter (peak heating): keep the heat pump's outdoor unit clear of snow and ice, and don't block vents — call early if heat feels weak.
