How fast will a provider contact me?
Timing depends on the provider and the season. Many providers can reach out quickly, especially when you send the request early in the day.

Questions
What Homeowners Ask First
What should I do in the first hour of a furnace failure?
Check the thermostat, the furnace switch and the filter. Protect pipes on outside walls by opening sink cabinets. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside.
What should I photograph?
The equipment, its model label, any water or storm damage and the thermostat display. Keep the photos with your estimate.
Does Southscott Heating & Air do the repair?
No. Southscott Heating & Air is a referral service. Independent local HVAC providers do all repairs and installations.
Will insurance cover flood damage to my furnace?
It depends on your policy. Standard home policies often treat flood differently from other water damage. Ask your insurer and keep photos and the provider's notes.
When Something Feels Off
Say it is a sticky July evening. The AC is running, but the upstairs never drops below 80. You could spend the next hour searching, calling and leaving messages. Or you could send one request and let a local provider reach you.
That is the idea behind Southscott Heating & Air. We are a referral service for homeowners in the Davenport area. You tell us what your heating or cooling system is doing. We pass the request to an independent HVAC provider who serves your area. The provider gets in touch, sets up a visit if needed and gives you a written estimate before any work starts.
Acting early matters. A furnace that clicks a few extra times in November or an AC that runs a bit longer in June is often a small repair. Wait until the coldest night or the hottest weekend, and the same problem can grow and the schedule can fill up.
If you would rather talk now, a call can get things moving.
How It Works
One Request
Picture a cold Saturday morning. The furnace ran all night and now the vents blow cool air. You fill out the request form or call the number on this site. You describe what happened and how to reach you.
A Local Provider Gets in Touch
Southscott Heating & Air passes your request to an independent HVAC provider who serves your part of the Davenport area. The provider contacts you, asks a few questions and sets up a visit if one is needed. How soon depends on the provider and the season.
A Clear Estimate
At the visit, the provider finds the cause and explains it. You get a written estimate before work begins. You can approve it, ask questions or take time to think.
Your Records
Snap a photo of the equipment and the model label before the visit. Keep the estimate and the invoice. Those papers help with warranties, future repairs and any conversation with your insurer.
How We Are Paid
Southscott Heating & Air may receive a fee from providers or partners for referrals and calls. It is not added to your bill as a separate charge.
Homes Across the Region
Southscott Heating & Air takes requests from homeowners in Davenport and the towns around it, on both sides of the river. Independent providers in our network each cover part of the Davenport area, and your request goes to one who works near you.
The weather here swings hard. Winters bring deep frost and long stretches of cold. Summers are hot and humid. Spring and summer storms can bring hail, high wind and power outages. Spring flooding can put water into low basements.
Many homes are older two-story houses with basements, where the furnace and water heater sit side by side. Others are newer ranch homes and split-levels in growing suburbs. A basement furnace is easy to reach. A basement that took on water is a different story.
Say the river rises in April and an inch of water reaches the furnace. Do not turn it back on. Take photos, then have a provider inspect it.
The service areas page lists the towns where providers take requests.
Everyday Situations and What to Do
The Furnace Will Not Light on a Cold Morning
Check the thermostat, the furnace switch and the filter. If it still will not light, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls and let faucets drip while you wait. Do not use an oven for heat.
If You Smell Gas
Leave the house without touching switches. Call the gas utility from outside.
A Storm Knocks Out Power
When power returns, the AC or furnace may not restart right away. Give it a few minutes. If a breaker tripped, reset it once. If the system still will not run, request a provider.
Hail
After hail, walk around the outdoor unit. Bent fins or a dented top are worth a photo and a provider's look.
The Basement Took on Water
Water and furnaces do not mix. If water reached the furnace, the controls and gas valve may be damaged. Keep it off until a provider inspects it. Take photos and keep notes for your insurer.
The AC Runs but the House Stays Sticky
The system may be low on refrigerant, short on airflow or oversized. A provider can test it.
The Bill Jumped
A sudden jump in your energy bill without a change in use often points to a system working harder than it should. Catching that early usually means a smaller repair.
Keep a Simple File
Model numbers, photos, estimates, invoices and warranty papers in one folder. It takes ten minutes and saves time later.

What We Handle
Help We Connect You With
Providers in our network handle three kinds of work. AC repair help covers systems that blow warm air, leak, freeze up or make new noises during the humid summer months. Home furnace repair covers the long, cold winters, when a heating failure can quickly put pipes at risk. AC installation and replacement covers older systems that are no longer worth fixing.
Each service page uses a few everyday scenarios to explain the warning signs, what to do first, what the provider checks and typical U.S. costs. Pick the one that matches what is happening at your house.
