What Is Emergency AC Repair &  When Do You Need It?

Unlike routine maintenance or scheduled repairs, AC emergencies can’t wait for traditional business hours.

To ensure you get the fast service you need for your health and safety, call our team if you’re experiencing an urgent issue like:

  • Total system failure in extreme heat
  • Refrigerant leaks
  • Electrical issues

Signs You Need Emergency AC Repair

Unsure if you need emergency repairs? Signs you may need immediate attention include:

  • Water pooling around your unit
  • Low airflow
  • No cool air
  • Burning smells
  • Smoke or sparks
  • Strange noises

Common Causes of Emergency AC Breakdowns

When heat waves cause high system demand, your AC is more likely to have issues. The most common causes of emergency AC breakdowns include:

  • Compressor failure: Without proper maintenance, your compressor, the most expensive and critical part of your system, can burn out.
  • Refrigerant leaks: The heat can cause added wear and tear on your refrigerant lines, which can develop small cracks and holes. These leaks can then prevent your system from cooling.
  • Electrical problems: Worn wiring or loose connections can leave you at risk for short circuits, tripped breakers, and even fire.
  • Frozen evaporator coil: Dirty filters can restrict airflow and cause your evaporator coil to freeze, ultimately damaging the compressor.
  • Overheating: Extreme heat and constant running of your system can stress components and cause them to overheat.
