What’s an AC Emergency?

Heat has arrived. You’ve most likely already turned on your air conditioning system to make sure everything is functioning perfectly. But what do you do if it’s not? It’s getting warm, your AC system is on the fritz, and you want to contact someone but it’s nighttime and you aren’t convinced this is considered an AC emergency that you’ll be charged more for. You have probably heard that Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is available 24/7/365 for emergency AC repair, but what actually counts as a 24 hour AC repair emergency? And how much will is cost? 

Please know that you can always call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, anytime of day, every day of the year. Our customer service agents are available live, 24/7 to help decide if someone needs to come out right away or if it’s something you could wait out until morning. 

When trying to decide the severity on your own, here are some matters where you should go ahead and call an expert.  

Strange Sounds

There are many reasons that your AC system might be making unusual, screeching noises. One common issue may be that the fan belt is loose. Seasonal maintenance can help avoid this problem, but sometimes life happens and you need to call for an AC repair appointment. Another reason your AC system could be making a loud, shrieking noise is that the compressor is functioning at a high level of pressure, which can be dangerous. If the noise seems excessive, shut down your AC system immediately and call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning for an emergency AC repair service. 

Stinky Smells

A burning stench coming from your air conditioning unit is normally an indication of an electrical issue or a piece has become so overheated that it’s seriously burning. If your A/C smells like it’s burning, that is definitely an emergency AC repair. Call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning as soon as possible for round the clock AC repair. 

No Air Flow

If your air conditioning unit doesn’t seem to be turning on, or you can’t feel any air coming out, this could be a symptom that the cooling system has malfunctioned. The culprit could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, an issue 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 too hot, go ahead and call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, especially if there is extreme weather, so we can get a technician out to make sure your home is safe and comfortable. Not having a functioning A/C in severe heat definitely constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
