If your furnace stops working in winter, first check the easy things — thermostat setting and batteries, the furnace power switch and breaker, and the filter. If it still won't heat, don't wait in Saskatoon's cold: call our 24/7 emergency line at (306) 801-1820. A technician can typically reach you in about 1–1.5 hours. If you smell gas, leave the home and call your gas utility or 911 first.
Quick answer
- Smell gas? Leave the home and call your gas utility or 911 first — then call us.
- Check the thermostat (set to HEAT, fresh batteries) and that it's calling for heat.
- Check the furnace power switch and the breaker; replace a clogged filter.
- Still no heat? Call 24/7 emergency dispatch — response is typically ~1–1.5 hours.
Quick checks before you call
A few simple things resolve a surprising share of no-heat calls. Make sure the thermostat is set to HEAT, the temperature is set above the room reading, and the batteries are fresh. Confirm the furnace power switch (it looks like a light switch near the furnace) is on and the breaker hasn't tripped. Replace a visibly dirty filter, which can shut a furnace down. If none of that brings the heat back, it's time to call.
When to call right away
In a Saskatchewan winter, a furnace that won't heat is a safety issue — frozen pipes and an unsafe home follow quickly. Call our 24/7 emergency dispatch at (306) 801-1820 and a technician can typically reach you in about 1–1.5 hours. If you ever smell gas, treat it as an emergency: leave the home, don't use switches or open flames, and call your gas utility's emergency line or 911 from outside — then call us once you're safe.

Are you open right now?
Our Saskatoon office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM Central Standard Time, with Saturdays and Sundays reserved for emergencies. But our 24/7 emergency dispatch runs every day of the year, so even after hours a technician can typically reach you in about 1–1.5 hours. Saskatchewan stays on Central Standard Time year-round — we don't change for daylight saving — so the status below is our real local time.

Hours shown in Saskatoon time. Saskatchewan stays on Central Time all year, so our schedule never shifts for daylight saving.
Rest easy — Comfy can nap because our emergency line never does.
Local truth: after 5 PM you don't have to wait until morning. Our 24/7 emergency dispatch runs every night of the Saskatoon winter, and a no-heat call at −40°C gets a technician on the way — typically within about 1–1.5 hours.
How this works▾
The status above reflects our regular Saskatoon office hours in real time. If we're closed, you're still covered — emergency dispatch runs 24/7, every day of the year.
Because Saskatchewan stays on Central Time year-round, our hours never jump forward or back for daylight saving the way they do elsewhere in Canada.
Common mistakes to avoid
Repeatedly resetting the breaker
If the furnace keeps tripping or locking out, flipping the breaker again and again won't fix the underlying fault and can stress the equipment. Get it diagnosed.
Using the oven or unsafe heaters
Never heat a home with a gas oven, and use space heaters carefully and never unattended. Call for emergency service instead — it's safer and faster than improvising.
