What’s an AC Emergency?

Temperatures are rising. You’ve most likely already turned on your air conditioning system to make sure everything is running perfectly. But what do you do if it’s not? It’s uncomfortably warm, your air conditioner is not cooling, and you want to call someone but it’s after 8 p.m. and you aren’t positive this is considered an AC emergency that that is going to cost more. You might have heard that Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is available around the clock for emergency AC repair, but what actually constitutes a 24 hour AC repair emergency? And how much will is cost? 

Keep in mind, you can always call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, day or night, every day of the year. Our customer service agents are available live, at all times to help decide if someone needs to come to your home immediately or if it’s something you could wait out until morning. 

When trying to evaluate the severity on your own, here are some situations where you should go ahead and call us.  

Suspicious Sounds

There are many reasons that your air conditioner might be making weird, screaming noises. One common issue could be that the fan belt is loose. Proper maintenance can help avoid this issue, but sometimes life happens and you need to call for an AC repair appointment. Another reason your air conditioner could be making a loud, squeeling noise is that the compressor is functioning at a high level of pressure, which can be dangerous. If a noise seems excessive, turn off your AC system immediately and call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning for an emergency AC repair job. 

Stinky Smells

A burning smell coming from your air conditioner is generally an indication of an electrical issue or a part has become so overheated that it’s truly burning. If your air conditioner smells like it’s burning, that is a definite emergency AC repair. Call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning as soon as possible for 24/7 AC repair. 

No Air Flow

If your air conditioner doesn’t seem to be running at all, or you can’t feel any air flowing, this could be a sign that the cooling system has failed. The source could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, a problem with the blower, or your A/C system could have finally kicked the bucket. If the air conditioner isn’t generating air flow, or the air that’s blowing is warm instead of cool, go ahead and call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, especially if there is extreme heat, so we can get a technician out to make sure your family is safe and comfortable. Not having cool air in severe heat absolutely constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
