How do I contact A.R. Mechanical for an HVAC emergency?

A.R. Mechanical, 49 Lakeshore Dr., North Bay, ON P1A 2A4. Phone (705) 472-6117. Email admin@ar-mechanical.ca . Hours Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

How do I book an emergency HVAC call?

Call (705) 472-6117 first. Email admin@ar-mechanical.ca only if the office line is not answered, and put “no heat” or “no cool” and the address in the subject. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

How do I prevent a repeat emergency next season?

Book a tune-up in early fall for heating and in spring for cooling, and change filters every 1–3 months in season. The Membership Program is the planned-maintenance agreement for homes and businesses. Most January no-heat calls are the ones that skipped the fall service.

Do you stock common emergency parts?

Technicians carry the parts that fail most often, including igniters, flame sensors, capacitors, and contactors. Unusual boards and heat exchangers may have to be ordered. The make and model, read from the sticker inside the furnace door or on the outdoor unit, is what gets the right part on the truck.

What if the heating fails on a weekend?

Call (705) 472-6117 and leave the address, phone number, and the failure. Listed hours are closed Saturday and Sunday, so weekend response depends on technician availability that day. While you wait, keep doors closed, open a trickle on a faucet if the house is at risk of freezing, and use a listed electric heater only as above.

Can I use space heaters until someone arrives?

A CSA-listed electric space heater on a clear floor, plugged directly into a wall outlet, is a short-term bridge. Do not use a barbecue, camp stove, or generator indoors. Those cause carbon monoxide deaths in winter outages. Keep the heater away from curtains and do not leave it unattended.

Do you service gas and propane emergencies?

Yes. Licensed G3, G2, and G1 gas technicians work on natural gas and propane furnaces, boilers, and water heaters. If you smell gas, call the utility from outside first, then call A.R. Mechanical.

What information should I have ready when I call?

Have the address, a callback number, whether the problem is heat, cool, or hot water, the equipment brand if you can see it, and any error code on the thermostat. Say if anyone is elderly, an infant is in the house, or tenants are without heat.

How much does an emergency HVAC call cost?

The diagnostic visit is quoted when you book. Simple parts such as an igniter, flame sensor, or capacitor are often repaired on the same visit. Motors, boards, and heat exchangers cost more and are quoted before replacement. After-hours availability, if offered that day, can add to the labour charge.

Is a red-tagged furnace an emergency?

Yes. A TSSA red tag means a licensed technician has shut the gas appliance off because it is unsafe. Leave it off. Call A.R. Mechanical to correct the defect and clear the tag. Do not remove the tag or relight the appliance.
