Is it an emergency (no heat in winter, gas smell)?

If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas company first. No-heat situations in freezing weather qualify for emergency service — tell the dispatcher so they can prioritize. Emergency HVAC calls typically cost more than scheduled visits.

What type of system do you have?

Central air, heat pump, mini-split, furnace, boiler — the tech needs to know before arriving. If you're not sure, check the unit label or send a photo of the indoor and outdoor units.

When was the system last serviced?

Annual maintenance is standard. If your system hasn't been serviced in years, mention it — the tech may need to do a full tune-up before diagnosing a specific issue.

What exactly is happening — or not happening?

Is it blowing warm when it should be cold? Making a noise? Short-cycling? Not turning on at all? Specific symptoms narrow the diagnosis and let the tech bring the right parts.

Have you checked the thermostat and filter?

A dead thermostat battery or a clogged filter causes most 'system not working' calls. Check both before scheduling — you may save yourself a service fee.
