When is a Carrier® WeatherMaker® - 7.5 Ton Packaged Rooftop Gas Heat & Electric Unit R-454B (460-3) issue urgent?

Treat the request as urgent when no heat or no cooling affects occupied space, an alarm or lockout is active, there is electrical odor, unusual noise, water intrusion, unsafe rooftop access, or repeated tenant comfort complaints. Include business hours and access notes when scheduling.
