"Emergency service" sounds great in a Google ad. What matters is what actually happens when you call on a Saturday night: who picks up, what it costs and when a technician can realistically get there.

At Anderson Heating, Air & Insulation, a real person answers calls during business hours (Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM–5:00 PM). After hours, weekends, and holidays, calls are handled by Housecall Pro Assist, which takes a message and alerts our team, including the on-call technician. Assist can’t schedule appointments, so a team member returns the call as soon as possible; a call that comes in over the weekend may not be returned until Monday. After-hours emergency service is subject to technician availability.

What "True" Emergency HVAC Looks Like

  • A real person answers during business hours — not a call center two states away. After hours, your message goes to our on-call technician
  • Urgent situations are prioritized, with dispatch based on the active rotation, location, and technician capacity
  • Transparent pricing before work starts — the after-hours service charge is $149 and must be collected upfront before confirming the appointment
  • Local technicians in local trucks — not subcontractors who don't know your area

What Qualifies as an HVAC Emergency in Georgia?

We prioritize calls involving:

  • No heat in winter when overnight temps drop below 40°F
  • No AC in summer when daytime highs exceed 90°F, especially with elderly residents, infants, or anyone with respiratory conditions
  • Gas leaks or carbon monoxide concerns — call us AND call 911
  • Water leaks from a flooded furnace or burst evaporator drain causing damage
  • System won't turn off — runaway compressor or stuck thermostat

Things that can usually wait until next business day: unusual noises that don't affect operation, weak airflow without total failure, scheduled maintenance.
