What’s an AC Emergency?
Heat has arrived. You've most likely 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 hot, your air conditioning system is on the fritz, and you want to call someone but it’s late and you aren’t confident this is considered an AC emergency that that is going to cost more. You may have heard that Service Experts is available around the clock for emergency air conditioning repair, but what actually counts as a 24 hour AC repair emergency? And what will it cost?
First of all, you can always call Service Experts, no matter what time, every day of the year. Our customer service agents are available live, at all times to help decide if an expert needs to come to your home immediately or if it’s something that can wait until morning.
When trying to determine the severity without an expert, here are a few issues where you should go ahead and call us.
Suspicious Sounds
There are a few reasons that your air conditioner might be making strange, shrieking noises. One common situation may be that the fan belt became loose. Seasonal maintenance can help avoid this problem, but sometimes life happens 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, squealing noise is that the compressor is operating at a high level of pressure, which can be dangerous. If a noise seems excessive, shut off your air conditioning unit immediately and call Service Experts for an emergency AC repair service.
Smells
A burning smell coming from your air conditioner is normally an indication of an electrical problem or a part has become so overheated that it’s literally burning. If your A/C smells like it’s burning, that is definitely an emergency AC repair. Call Service Experts immediately for 24/7 AC repair.
No Air Flow
If your air conditioner doesn’t seem to be turning on, or you can’t feel any air coming out, this could be an indication that the cooling system has crashed. The source could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, an issue with the blower, or your A/C system could have finally kicked the bucket. If the air conditioner isn’t producing air flow, or the air that’s blowing is too hot, go ahead and call Service Experts, especially if there are extreme temperatures, so we can get an expert out to make sure your family is safe and comfortable. Not having a functioning A/C in severe weather definitely constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
