Tucson heat runs a few months a year, so most no-heat problems show up on the first cold nights, in a system that sat idle since spring. Climate Pros Tucson matches you with a licensed local pro for gas furnaces, rooftop gas packs and electric heat. If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the house and call 911 from outside.

How do Tucson homes heat?
It varies by house. Statewide, a 2020 federal survey found electricity was the main heating fuel in 51 of every 100 Arizona homes and natural gas in 36. In Tucson that shows up as heat pumps (split or rooftop), gas furnaces in a closet, attic or garage, and gas packs: a rooftop package unit with an AC section and a gas furnace section in one cabinet. Southwest Gas supplies natural gas in the area.
Tell us which you have when you call. A heat pump that won't heat is a different diagnosis, covered on our heat pump service page.
Gas and carbon monoxide safety
Gas smell or rotten-egg odor: leave the house and call 911 from outside. Do not use switches.
Carbon monoxide alarm: get everyone out and call 911. Do not silence it and go back to bed.
Soot, scorch marks or a flame that lifts or flickers: shut the furnace off and call for a diagnosis.
Compare the confirmed failure, the heat exchanger's condition, repair history and a full replacement quote. Inside City of Tucson limits, a replacement furnace or heat pump needs a permit and a load calculation, and the licensed contractor pulls the permit.

What do homeowners ask about Furnace Repair?
When is a no-heat call an emergency?
A gas smell or a carbon monoxide alarm is an emergency: leave the house and call 911 from outside. Do not use switches on the way out. Without heat on a cold night, an older adult, an infant or someone who is ill in the home makes the call more urgent, so say so when you call.
Why does my furnace smell like burning the first time I turn it on?
Dust settles on the burners and heat exchanger over a long idle summer and burns off when the heat first runs. That smell should fade. If it lasts, smells electrical, or comes with smoke, shut the system off and call for a diagnosis.
Why does heat fail on the first cold night?
Parts that sat idle since spring get their first real test. Ignitors crack, flame sensors coat over, and filters loaded with summer dust trip the high-limit switch. A fall check before December can catch these.
Is there a Southwest Gas rebate for a new furnace in 2026?
The Southwest Gas 2026 Arizona residential rebate application lists only low-flow showerheads, clothes washers and windows. No furnace, thermostat or HVAC rebate appears on it.
Should I replace my gas furnace with a heat pump?
On the Tucson valley floor a heat pump is a sensible default, because heating demand is mild and the same unit cools. It's a bigger decision when the furnace still works. Note that since September 1, 2026, Arizona HEAR rebates no longer pay to replace gas appliances with electric ones.
What about heating at Summerhaven on Mount Lemmon?
Summerhaven is a different job. The Mount Lemmon station logs about 4,024 heating degree days a year, about three times the Tucson airport, and about 53 freezing nights. Pima County's code puts land above 4,000 feet in climate zone 5B with a 4F winter design temperature. Backup heat is a question for the pro.
