Emergency HVAC Repair in Virginia, Available 24/7


When you are in the middle of an emergency, the last thing you need is a technician pushing you toward an expensive replacement you may not need. Eric's Heating & Air was built on a fix-first philosophy. Before recommending any replacement, we evaluate whether your existing system, even an older one, can be repaired effectively. Our diagnostic call charge is $70, which is lower than most regional competitors, and we back every emergency repair with a 3-month warranty on covered work. Satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every call, whether it is a routine tune-up or an urgent AC repair in Blacksburg at 2 a.m.


How quickly can a technician arrive for an emergency HVAC call in Christiansburg or Blacksburg?
Eric's Heating & Air targets a response time of under 3 hours for emergency calls in the primary service area, which includes Christiansburg, Blacksburg, and the surrounding Montgomery County region. Response times to more distant areas like Radford, Floyd, or Salem may vary depending on conditions, but the company operates 24/7/365 and maintains 4-wheel drive vehicles to reach customers even during winter storms and on unplowed roads.What does an emergency HVAC diagnostic call cost?
The diagnostic call charge is $70, which is documented as lower than most regional competitors. This flat charge applies when a technician comes out to assess your system. General service work ranges from $200 to $1,000 depending on the repair, and new installations range from $6,000 to $14,000. Eric's Heating & Air also offers a best-price guarantee on installations and backs emergency repairs with a 3-month warranty on covered work.
Will the technician recommend replacing my system even if it can be repaired?
No. Eric's Heating & Air operates on a fix-first philosophy, meaning the technician evaluates whether your existing system can be repaired before ever recommending a replacement. This includes older and antique units. The company was founded as a counter to sales-driven HVAC contractors, and customer reviews consistently highlight that Eric will repair issues rather than push for a new system sale.Does Eric's Heating & Air handle after-hours heating emergencies, not just AC calls?
Yes. The 24/7 availability covers both heating and cooling emergencies, including gas furnace failures, heat pump breakdowns, and oil condensing unit issues. The company has documented experience responding to heating emergencies during severe winter weather, including a well-known response during a major MLK weekend snowstorm in the New River Valley area.What kinds of HVAC problems are serious enough to call about right away?
Situations that warrant an immediate call include a furnace that will not light or has a yellow pilot light, which can signal a carbon monoxide risk, a heat pump that has stopped working in freezing temperatures, an air conditioner that has completely stopped cooling during a heat wave, a leaking water heater, and systems making unusual sounds such as high-pitched squealing, metal scraping, or rattling. These symptoms can point to a failed blower belt, worn ball bearings, loose ductwork, or a faulty electronic board.Does Eric's Heating & Air respond to commercial HVAC emergencies, or only residential calls?
Both. The company serves residential homeowners as well as commercial clients including hotels, offices, retail stores, and industrial facilities throughout the Montgomery County area and New River Valley. Commercial operators requiring around-the-clock system reliability are a documented part of the customer base, and the same emergency response protocols apply regardless of property type.Is there a satisfaction guarantee on emergency repair work?
Yes. Eric's Heating & Air offers a 100% satisfaction money-back guarantee and provides a 3-month warranty on specific emergency repairs. The company holds Better Business Bureau membership and is an authorized Trane dealer, which adds an additional layer of accountability and brand-backed support for installations and repairs involving Trane equipment.
