Fast triage

Start with safety, then cooling, then paperwork.

  • Immediate danger: If someone has confusion, fainting, chest pain, severe weakness, or heat-stroke signs, call 911 before looking for home-service help.
  • Cooling location: Identify a safe cooled place now: family, church, library, senior center, employer break room, hotel, or a neighbor with reliable air conditioning.
  • Utility status: Confirm whether the issue is an outage, shutoff notice, billing hold, panel/breaker problem, thermostat issue, or failed equipment.
  • Vulnerable neighbors: Check seniors, medically fragile residents, families with young children, outdoor workers, and people in manufactured homes or RVs.
  • Written details: Keep photos, model numbers, serial numbers, filter sizes, warranty documents, utility account notes, and repair estimates in one folder.

Shareable checklist

Questions to ask before the heat gets worse.

For homeowners and renters

When was the air filter changed? Does the thermostat have fresh batteries? Is the outside unit clear? Which rooms are unsafe during peak heat? Who has a spare key if you leave?

For landlords and property managers

Have tenants been given a clear emergency contact? Are vendor response windows documented? Are portable cooling options safe and code-conscious?

For churches and nonprofits

Keep a one-page referral note with crisis numbers, utility contacts, cooling-location options, transportation ideas, and trusted volunteer check-in procedures.

For HVAC and home-service providers

Offer plain-language prep notes: filter size, thermostat basics, shade/airflow tips, emergency shutoff guidance, financing or warranty documents, and callback expectations.
