What’s an AC Emergency?
Summer weather on its way. You may have already turned on your air conditioning system to make sure everything is running properly. But what if it’s not? It’s hot, your AC system is on the fritz, and you want to contact someone but it’s after 8 p.m. and you aren’t sure if this is considered an AC emergency that you’ll be charged more for. You may have heard that Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is available all day every day for emergency air conditioning 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, no matter what time, every day of the year. Our customer service representatives are available live, around the clock to help decide if an expert needs to come check it out right away or if it’s something you could wait out until morning.
When trying to determine the severity on your own, here are a couple situations where you should go ahead and call us.
Squeeling Sounds
There are many reasons that your AC system might be making weird, shrieking noises. One common problem may be that the fan belt became loose. Standard maintenance can help avoid this situation, 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, squeeling noise is that the compressor is functioning at a high level of pressure, which can be unsafe. If a sound seems excessive, shut down your air conditioning unit immediately and call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning for an emergency AC repair job.
Unusual Smells
A burning smell coming from your AC system is generally a symptom of an electrical issue or a piece has become so overheated that it’s really 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 hour 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 failed. The reason could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, an issue with the blower, or your air conditioning unit could have finally kicked the bucket. If the air conditioner 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, particularly if there is extreme heat, so we can get someone out to make sure your home is safe and comfortable. Not having cool air in severe weather for sure constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
