Knowing when to call for emergency AC repair<\/a> might seem like an easy thing to recognize, but it can be more nuanced than that. For example, an air conditioner that won\u2019t turn on at all on a scorching hot day can be a safety issue for you and your family and it should be treated as an emergency.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what about if the AC isn\u2019t working very well on a day with mild temperatures? It gets a bit tricky, doesn\u2019t it? The question we\u2019re trying to answer here is exactly how urgent is the need for an emergency repair. Let\u2019s go over the parameters that definitely warrant a call for emergency repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Try This First <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a couple of somewhat alarming issues that you can try to troubleshoot yourself and they all come down to the air filter. Sometimes when we\u2019re called out for a repair, we pull out an air filter that is so clogged with dirt and dust, it looks like Pig-Pen from the Peanuts gang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A clogged air filter can cause your AC to short cycle. This is when your AC isn\u2019t able to complete a cooling cycle. You\u2019ll hear it turn on, run for a short while, then turn itself back on. You\u2019ll notice that your home is warm even though it seems like the AC is running all the time (which it is).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another issue you might notice is when the evaporator coils ice over. A clogged air filter prohibits the flow of cold air, causing it to build up inside the air conditioner and lower the internal temperature. That buildup of cold air can eventually cause ice to form on the coils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try changing the air filter to see if it remedies either of these issues. If the evaporator coils are frozen, let them thaw first (don\u2019t try to defrost them with a hair dryer). If the clean filter doesn\u2019t help, something else is contributing to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If It Feels Urgent, Treat It As Urgent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Turning to the internet when you have an issue is a common thing. But the best way to truly assess if you have an urgent AC issue is to go with your gut feeling. You shouldn\u2019t have to think too hard about it when it\u2019s an urgent situation. Your air conditioner is a system that keeps you safe when it\u2019s hot and humid out, and If your home is unbearably hot because the AC isn\u2019t working properly, then give us a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the air conditioning system breaks down in the winter with a forecast that calls for continued low temperatures, then schedule a repair during regular hours. If the problem with the AC is that it turns on but it\u2019s not emitting cold air, and the forecast calls for a heatwave, you need to call us ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s our job to restore your AC service when you need it most. We have a technician on duty 24 hours a day because we know how inconvenient air conditioning problems can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
