Call us right away if you are experiencing an air conditioner emergency. We are going to explain below what an air conditioner emergency is just in case you aren’t sure. In reality, anything wrong with your air conditioner is an emergency, and we are here to help and would be happy to help. Again, give us a call if you are having any of the problems that are listed below.
AC Is Not Working/Scorching Hot Outside
Your air conditioner should be working any time the mercury rises to hot temperatures. This is especially important if your family includes children, seniors, and people who have compromised immune systems. You may be more sensitive to heat due to your age or health. If your air conditioner stops working and it’s hot outside, call us immediately.
AC Leaks That Cause Water Damage
An air conditioner that leaks water or causes damage to your home is another problem that could be considered an emergency. To avoid costly repairs to your home due to water damage, we need to fix the leak quickly. Regular inspection of your air conditioner unit is a good idea to ensure that there is no water around it. We recommend that you call us every spring or an AC check.
AC Is Making Loud/Strange Noises
If your air conditioner makes strange or loud noises when you turn it on, please shut it down immediately and call us. An air conditioner that is not working properly can produce hissing, grinding, or squealing sounds. When the air conditioner turns on, the only thing you should hear is the motor running smoothly and air flowing through the vents.
AC Releases Strange/Rancid Odors
If your air conditioner is emitting strong odors, you should turn it off immediately. A malfunctioning air conditioner could cause damage to the electrical system, and you might smell electricity burning when it is on. This is dangerous and should be avoided.
AC Is Causing Strange Electrical Issues
Finally, the AC should not trip the circuit breaker or cause your lights to dim. It should also not overload the electrical system and cause it burn. If you notice strange phenomena in your house’s electricity, please turn off the AC.
Again, we are here to help, so call us today to schedule an appointment or if you are having an air conditioner emergency. We will dispatch an experienced technician to your home as quickly as possible.
