What’s an AC Emergency?

Heat has arrived. You’ve most likely already turned on your air conditioning system to make sure everything is working properly. But what if it’s not? It’s getting warm, your AC system is on the fritz, and you want to contact someone but it’s late and you aren’t sure if this is considered an AC emergency that you’ll be charged more for. You might have heard that Fras-Air/General Service Experts 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? 

First of all, you can always call Fras-Air/General Service Experts, day or night, every day of the year. Our customer service agents are available live, around the clock to help decide if someone needs to come out right away or if it’s something you could wait out until morning. 

When trying to decide the severity without an expert, here are a couple situations where you should go ahead and give us a call.  

Strange Sounds

There are many reasons that your air conditioning equipment might be making strange, screeching noises. One common issue could be that the fan belt got loose. Regular maintenance can help avoid this problem, but sometimes there’s an emergency and you need to call for an AC repair appointment. Another reason your air conditioning unit could be making a loud, screeching noise is that the compressor is running at a high level of pressure, which can be dangerous. If a noise seems excessive, shut off your air conditioning unit immediately and call Fras-Air/General Service Experts for an emergency AC repair job. 

Strange Smells

A burning odor coming from your air conditioner is usually a sign of an electrical issue or a piece has become so overheated that it’s actually burning. If your air conditioner smells like it’s burning, that is a definite emergency AC repair. Call Fras-Air/General Service Experts immediately for 24 hour AC repair. 

No Air Flow

If your air conditioner doesn’t seem to be kicking on, or you can’t feel any air flowing, this could be a sign that the cooling system has malfunctioned. The cause could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, a problem with the blower, or your air conditioning unit could have finally bit the dust. If the system isn’t generating air flow, or the air that’s blowing is not cool, go ahead and call Fras-Air/General Service Experts, particularly if there is extreme heat, so we can get someone out to make sure your home is safe and comfortable. Not having a functioning A/C in severe weather for sure constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
