What’s an AC Emergency?

Temperatures are rising. You have probably already booted up your air conditioning system to make sure the system is working properly. But what do you do if it’s not? It’s getting warm, your AC system 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 comes with an upcharge. 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 how much will is 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 agents are available live, 24/7 to help decide if someone needs to come to your home immediately or if it’s something that will be okay to wait until morning. 

When trying to decide the severity by yourself, here are a couple cases where you should go ahead and call us.  

Strange Sounds

There are multiple reasons that your AC system might be making strange, shrieking noises. One common issue might be that the fan belt is loose. Standard maintenance can help avoid this issue, but sometimes there’s an emergency and you need to call for an AC repair appointment. Another reason your air conditioning unit could be making a loud, squeeling noise is that the compressor is operating at a high level of pressure, which can be hazardous. If a noise seems excessive, shut off your AC system immediately and call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing for an emergency AC repair service. 

Stinky Smells

A burning stench coming from your AC system is usually an indication of an electrical problem or a piece has become so overheated that it’s really burning. If your air conditioning system smells like it’s burning, that is a definite emergency AC repair. Call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing right away for 24 hour AC repair. 

No Air Flow

If your air conditioning unit doesn’t seem to be running at all, or you can’t feel any air coming out, this could be an indication that the cooling system has malfunctioned. The reason could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, a complication with the blower, or your A/C system could have finally bit the dust. If the system 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 weather, so we can get someone out to make sure your home is safe and comfortable. Not having air conditioning in severe temperatures absolutely constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
