What’s an AC Emergency?

Heat has arrived. You have probably already switched over to your air conditioning system to make sure the system is running perfectly. But what happens if it’s not? It’s uncomfortably warm, your AC system is on the fritz, and you want to contact someone but it’s late and you aren’t sure if this is considered an AC emergency that that is going to cost more. You might have heard that Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing is available 24/7/365 for emergency air conditioner repair, but what is actually considered a 24 hour AC repair emergency? And what will it cost? 

First of all, you can always call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, no matter what time, every day of the year. Our customer service team is available live, 24/7 to help decide if someone needs to come check it out immediately or if it’s something you could wait out until morning. 

When trying to determine the severity on your own, here are a few matters where you should go ahead and give us a call.  

Strange Sounds

There are multiple reasons that your air conditioner might be making strange, shrieking noises. One common situation could be that the fan belt got loose. Seasonal maintenance can help avoid this problem, but sometimes there’s an emergency and you need to get in touch with a professional for an AC repair appointment. Another reason your air conditioning unit could be making a loud, squeeling noise is that the compressor is working at a high level of pressure, which can be unsafe. If a noise seems excessive, shut off your air conditioner immediately and call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing for an emergency AC repair job. 

Stinky Smells

A burning odor coming from your air conditioning unit is normally an indication of an electrical complication or a piece has become so overheated that it’s truly burning. If your A/C smells like it’s burning, that is definitely an emergency AC repair. Call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing right away for round the clock AC repair. 

No Air Flow

If your AC system doesn’t seem to be turning on, or you can’t feel any air blowing, this could be a symptom that the cooling system has crashed. The source could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, an issue with the blower, or your A/C system could have finally met its maker. If the AC isn’t providing air flow, or the air that’s blowing is warm instead of cool, go ahead and call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, particularly if there is extreme heat, so we can get a technician out to make sure your family is safe and comfortable. Not having a functioning A/C in severe heat absolutely constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
