What’s an AC Emergency?

Temperatures are rising. You may have already booted up your air conditioning system to make sure everything is functioning properly. But what if it’s not? It’s uncomfortably warm, your air conditioner is acting up, and you want to contact someone but it’s late and you aren’t confident this is considered an AC emergency that you’ll be charged more for. You might have heard that Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is available 24/7/365 for emergency air conditioning 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 team is available live, 24/7 to help decide if a technician needs to come check it out ASAP or if it’s something you could wait out until morning. 

When trying to determine the severity without an expert, here are some issues where you should go ahead and call a professional.  

Suspicious Sounds

There are a few reasons that your AC system might be making weird, screaming noises. One common issue may be that the fan belt got loose. Standard maintenance can help avoid this situation, but sometimes there’s an emergency and you need to have an expert come out for an AC repair appointment. Another reason your air conditioner could be making a loud, shrieking noise is that the compressor is working at a high level of pressure, which can be hazardous. If a sound seems excessive, shut off your AC system immediately and call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning for an emergency AC repair service. 

Strange Smells

A burning odor coming from your AC system is generally a symptom of an electrical malfunction or a component has become so overheated that it’s seriously burning. If your air conditioner smells like it’s burning, that is absolutely an 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 kicking on, or you can’t feel any air flowing, this could be a symptom that the cooling system has crashed. The culprit 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, particularly if there are extreme temperatures, so we can get a technician out to make sure your family is safe and comfortable. Not having a functioning A/C in severe weather definitely constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
