Furnace Repair Services in Moorpark, CA

Natural gas utilities add mercaptan (a distinctive rotten-egg smell) to help you detect leaks. If you smell gas, evacuate everyone from the house immediately without operating wall switches, phones, or electrical devices that could create an electrical spark. From outside your home in Moorpark, California, contact your local gas utility and call (877) 719-1221 for emergency gas valve and line inspection.

Our technicians in Moorpark, California test control circuit voltages and can re-wire or recalibrate your thermostat during the service call.

If the smell persists, smells of burning plastic/wiring, or produces visible smoke, shut down the system and call (877) 719-1221 immediately.
