Our Emergency HVAC Repair Process
When your HVAC system fails, you need fast, reliable service. Here’s exactly what happens when you call Bend Heating & Sheet Metal for emergency repairs:
1. Immediate Dispatch & Arrival
(30 minutes to 2 hours)
When you call Bend Heating for emergency HVAC repair, we gather essential information about your system and symptoms, dispatch the nearest available technician with appropriate equipment, and provide accurate arrival time estimates. After-hours emergencies receive same-day service with arrival times communicated clearly when you call.
2. Comprehensive System Diagnosis
(30-45 minutes)
Our technicians perform thorough diagnostics to identify the root cause, not just symptoms. This includes visual inspection of all major components, electrical testing of circuits and connections, refrigerant pressure testing for AC systems, airflow measurement, and thermostat calibration verification. We explain findings in plain language and show you exactly what failed and why.
3. Transparent Pricing & Repair Options
(15-20 minutes)
Before any repair work begins, you receive a clear written estimate including parts costs, labor charges, emergency service fees (if applicable), total repair cost, and warranty coverage. We present repair options when applicable. Sometimes you can choose between a quick fix to restore immediate comfort and a comprehensive repair for long-term reliability. We never pressure you into unnecessary work.
4. Expert Repair Completion
(1-4 hours typical)
Most emergency repairs are completed within 1–4 hours, depending on complexity and parts availability. Typical repair timelines include furnace igniter replacement (about 15 minutes), AC capacitor or contactor replacement (about 20 minutes), and thermostat replacement or recalibration (30–45 minutes). Blower motor repair or replacement generally takes 1–2 hours when a compatible motor is available on the service vehicle. If a refrigerant leak is suspected—most commonly indicated by a frozen outdoor unit—additional diagnostic time may be required, and a follow-up appointment may be scheduled if the repair cannot be completed during the initial visit.
5. System Testing & Performance Verification
20-30 minutes
After repairs, we test your system through multiple heating or cooling cycles, verify proper temperatures and airflow throughout your home, confirm safe operation, and ensure thermostat accuracy across all settings. We don’t leave until your system operates reliably.
6. Prevention Recommendations
(10-15 minutes)
Before leaving, we identify potential issues that could cause future emergencies, recommend maintenance to prevent breakdowns, and explain warning signs to watch for. Many emergency repairs could have been prevented with routine maintenance—we help you avoid future crises.

Emergency HVAC Service in Central Oregon’s Climate
Bend’s extreme temperature swings make HVAC emergencies particularly urgent. Understanding our unique climate helps explain why emergency service matters so much in Central Oregon.
HVAC failures can turn into true emergencies
Winter temperatures regularly drop below 10°F, which means furnace failures can threaten frozen pipes within hours. Summer temperatures reaching 90–100°F make AC failures more than uncomfortable; they create health risks for vulnerable residents. Our high desert climate with 30–40 degree day-night temperature swings puts constant stress on HVAC systems, increasing failure rates.
Central Oregon-specific emergency considerations
The 3,600-foot elevation affects combustion efficiency in furnaces—failures can be harder to diagnose without local expertise. Extreme temperature swings cause greater thermal expansion and contraction, leading to more electrical connection failures. Our dry climate increases static electricity issues that can damage electronic controls. These factors make experienced local technicians essential for accurate emergency diagnostics.
Service areas for emergency repairs
Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Sunriver, La Pine, Tumalo, and all of Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson Counties. Response times vary by location; we provide accurate ETAs when you call.
Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency HVAC Repair Bend, Oregon
What qualifies as an HVAC emergency?
Call for emergency service if you have no heat when temperatures are below 40°F, no cooling when temperatures exceed 85°F, and vulnerable residents are present, gas smells or carbon monoxide detector activation, unusual burning smells from your system, loud grinding or banging noises indicating mechanical failure, or water leaking from your HVAC system. If you’re unsure, call—we’ll help you determine urgency.
How quickly can you respond to emergencies?
During business hours (Monday–Thursday, 8:00 am–5:00 pm, and Friday, 8:00 am–4:00 pm), we typically arrive within 2 hours. After-hours emergencies receive same-day service with arrival times provided when you call. Response times vary based on technician availability and your location within our service area.
Can you fix most problems in one visit?
Yes, we complete approximately 85% of emergency repairs in a single visit. Our service vehicles carry 200+ common replacement parts. Occasionally, unusual failures require ordering specialty parts—in these cases, we explain options, including expected arrival time and temporary solutions to restore basic operation until permanent repairs are completed. If a factory-specialized part is needed outside supplier business hours, we confirm availability with the supplier or manufacturer and contact the customer on the next business day with an update.
What should I do while waiting for emergency service?
If you smell gas or your carbon monoxide detector activates, leave immediately and call 911. For heating failures, turn your thermostat off to prevent system cycling, close doors to unused rooms, and never use your oven for heat. For AC failures, turn the system off at the thermostat—especially if you see ice on the outdoor unit. Gather your thermostat model, any error codes, and details about when the problem started. Our technician will call when they’re on their way.
How can I prevent future HVAC emergencies?
Annual maintenance prevents 80% of emergency breakdowns. Our preventive maintenance includes comprehensive inspections, cleaning, adjustments, and early problem detection. We recommend scheduling maintenance in spring for AC systems and fall for heating systems—before you need them most.
