Emergency heating and AC repair for Fauquier, Culpeper and Rappahannock counties. No heat? Call (540) 717-0784, 24/7.

No Heat? Call Us Any Time

When the heat goes out, your home cools fast, and in our winters your pipes can be at risk within hours. Call (540) 717-0784 day or night and we’ll get a technician headed your way.

Before you call, a few quick checks can save time:

  • Make sure the thermostat is set to Heat and above room temperature, and replace its batteries if the screen is blank.
  • Check the breaker and the furnace or boiler power switch (it often looks like a light switch near the unit).
  • Look at your oil or propane tank gauge. An empty tank is a common cause of no heat.
  • Replace a badly clogged furnace filter.

On an oil burner, press the red reset button only once. Pressing it again and again can flood the burner with oil.

What Counts as an HVAC Emergency?

Call us right away for:

R

No heat in freezing weather

R

A gas or propane smell

R

A carbon monoxide alarm

R

Burning smells, smoke or sparks

R

Water leaking from a furnace or boiler

R

No AC in dangerous heat

No heat becomes an emergency sooner when there are infants, older family members or anyone with health conditions in the home, or when pipes are at risk of freezing.

Safety First: Gas Smell or CO Alarm

If you smell gas or propane, or your carbon monoxide alarm goes off:

  • Get everyone out of the house right away.
  • Don’t flip light switches, use the phone inside, or try to light anything.
  • From outside, call 911 and your gas or propane supplier.
  • Call us once the home is declared safe, and we’ll find and fix the cause.

Never run a generator, grill or camp heater indoors or in an attached garage, even for a few minutes.

Because we’re licensed for HVAC, plumbing and electrical, one visit can also cover the frozen pipe, tripped circuit or failed water heater that sometimes comes with a breakdown.

Heat Pumps in Deep Cold

A heat pump blowing cool air in winter may just be in defrost mode, which is normal. If it runs nonstop while the house keeps getting colder, or the outdoor unit ices over completely, call us.

Air Conditioning

AC out during a heat wave? We repair central air and heat pumps, from failed capacitors and motors to refrigerant leaks.

See our AC repair services

While You Wait

Close doors to unused rooms, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, and let faucets drip. Keep space heaters 3 feet from anything that can burn, and plug them straight into the wall.

Emergency HVAC FAQs

Do you offer 24/7 HVAC service?

Yes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends and holidays, for no-heat and no-cooling emergencies.

Is there an extra fee for after-hours calls?

Emergency calls outside regular hours can include an after-hours charge. We will tell you about any charges on the phone, before we send a technician, so there are no surprises.

What should I do if my heat goes out at night?

Check the thermostat, the breaker, the unit power switch and your fuel tank level. If that does not fix it, call us at (540) 717-0784. While you wait, keep doors closed, open sink cabinets on outside walls and let faucets drip so pipes do not freeze.

Should I press the reset button on my furnace or boiler?

Once is fine. If it shuts off again, leave it off and call us. Pressing the reset button over and over on an oil burner can flood it with oil and create a safety hazard.

What do I do if I smell gas or propane?

Get everyone outside right away, do not use switches or phones inside, and call 911 and your gas or propane supplier from outside. Once it is safe, we will find and repair the source.

Is my heat pump broken if it is blowing cool air?

Not always. In cold weather, heat pumps run a short defrost cycle that can blow cool air for a few minutes. If it lasts longer, the house will not warm up, or the outdoor unit is covered in ice, call us.

How fast can you get here?

We send the nearest available technician and give you an expected arrival time when you call. Call volume rises during major cold snaps, so call as soon as you notice a problem.

Only took them 2 1/2 minutes to locate the problem! The other guy was in my basement for over an hour, only to emerge with a bogus photo of a supposed hole in my furnace. I will use Griffith to start out with in the future! I found a gem!!

Phenomenal company that goes above and beyond. Our family genuinely appreciates their vast array of skills, rapid response, expertise & professionalism. Honest and hard workers. We had multiple issues and in a matter of days we had two different people out to the house to take care of everything. They are fast and professional and do excellent work!!! I forgot to take pictures but we had issues ranging from leaking pipes, to stuff stuck in our drain (kids), electrical outlet issues, post-fire check of electrical in addition to the install of a dishwasher. We’ve also had HVAC repair and well services. Everything is always top notch and the best possible work you can get. We will continue to use their services!

We’ve HVAC maintenance done (thankfully) and greatly appreciate the care and effort to ensure our system could stand up to the heat. They came out & did a full checkup & preventative maintenance on our system & stopped an emergency before it would’ve ultimately occurred. Greatly appreciate their consistency & efficiency. Austin and his team are extremely hard workers & are always prepared for the situation. They’re willing to explain and provide recommendations & solid solutions to complex issues. Truly thankful for this company.
Response from the owner:Thank you for choosing us to be your go to contractor for all your needs. We take great pride and integrity and being there for our customers

You know what sucks? Having your AC go out at 6pm on a hot summer night. Sure, you can call those "we're open 24 hours" companies, or you can call Griffith Plumbing, Heating and Cooling & Electrical and be AMAZED at how quickly they not only call you back, but they show up the next morning and get your AC blowing cold again. Thank you a billion times for coming so quickly! Writing up my list of what I want y'all to do next. 🙂
