What’s an AC Emergency?

Heat has arrived. You may have already switched over to your air conditioning system to make sure the system is functioning properly. But what do you do if it’s not? It’s uncomfortably warm, your air conditioner is on the fritz, and you want to get in touch someone but it’s nighttime and you aren’t sure if this is considered an AC emergency that that is going to cost more. You have probably heard that Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is available around the clock for emergency air conditioner repair, but what is actually considered a 24 hour AC repair emergency? And what will it cost? 

Keep in mind, you can always call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, anytime of day, every day of the year. Our customer service agents are available live, 24/7 to help decide if a technician needs to come check it out right away or if it’s something you could wait out until morning. 

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

Suspicious Sounds

There are multiple reasons that your air conditioning equipment might be making strange, screeching noises. One common issue may be that the fan belt is loose. Standard maintenance can help avoid this issue, but sometimes things happen 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, screeching noise is that the compressor is functioning at a high level of pressure, which can be unsafe. If the noise seems excessive, shut down your air conditioning unit immediately and call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning for an emergency AC repair job. 

Strange Smells

A burning stench coming from your AC system is usually a sign of an electrical malfunction or a piece has become so overheated that it’s seriously burning. If your A/C smells like it’s burning, that is a definite 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, a problem with the blower, or your air conditioner could have finally met its maker. If the AC 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 an expert out to make sure your home is safe and comfortable. Not having air conditioning in severe weather for sure constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
