What’s an AC Emergency?

Temperatures are rising. You may have already switched over to your air conditioning system to make sure it is running right. But what do you do if it’s not? It’s uncomfortably warm, your air conditioning system is not cooling, and you want to call someone but it’s late and you aren’t convinced this is considered an AC emergency that that is going to cost more. You may have heard that Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing is available around the clock for emergency air conditioning repair, but what actually constitutes a 24 hour AC repair emergency? And what will it cost? 

Please know that you can always call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, day or night, every day of the year. Our customer service team is available live, at all times 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 cases where you should go ahead and give us a call.  

Squeeling Sounds

There are several reasons that your air conditioner might be making weird, shrieking noises. One common issue may be that the fan belt became loose. Regular 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 conditioner could be making a loud, shrieking noise is that the compressor is running at a high level of pressure, which can be hazardous. If a sound seems excessive, shut off your air conditioning unit immediately and call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing for an emergency AC repair service. 

Stinky Smells

A burning smell coming from your AC system is usually a sign of an electrical issue or a component has become so overheated that it’s really burning. If your A/C smells like it’s burning, that is definitely an emergency AC repair. Call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing as soon as possible for 24/7 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 an indication that the cooling system has crashed. The reason could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, an issue with the blower, or your air conditioner could have finally kicked the bucket. If the AC isn’t generating air flow, or the air that’s blowing is not cool, go ahead and call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, particularly if there is extreme heat, so we can get someone out to make sure your family is safe and comfortable. Not having air conditioning in severe weather for sure constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
