What’s an AC Emergency?

Summer weather on its way. You may have already booted up your air conditioning system to make sure everything is functioning perfectly. But what if it’s not? It’s uncomfortably warm, your air conditioner is not working, and you want to call someone but it’s nighttime and you aren’t positive this is considered an AC emergency that that is going to cost more. You may have heard that Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning 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? 

Keep in mind, 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 someone needs to come out immediately or if it’s something that will be okay to wait until morning. 

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

Suspicious Sounds

There are several reasons that your air conditioner might be making unusual, shrieking noises. One common problem might be that the fan belt is loose. Seasonal maintenance can help avoid this problem, but sometimes things happen 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 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. 

Unusual Smells

A burning stench coming from your air conditioning unit is generally a symptom of an electrical complication or a piece has become so overheated that it’s actually 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 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 coming out, this could be a sign that the cooling system has malfunctioned. The culprit could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, an issue with the blower, or your air conditioner could have finally kicked the bucket. If the system isn’t producing air flow, or the air that’s blowing is too hot, go ahead and call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, particularly 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 weather absolutely constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
