Is Your AC Problem an Emergency?
When to Call Tonight
An AC problem is an emergency when it puts your family, pets or home at risk: no cooling in extreme heat with vulnerable people at home, water pouring into the house, or burning smells from the equipment.
| Situation | Call Tonight? |
|---|---|
| No cooling, seniors, babies or someone sick at home | Yes |
| No cooling, house over 85 degrees and climbing | Yes |
| Water pouring from the air handler or through a ceiling | Yes, and turn the system off |
| Burning smell, smoke or sparks | Yes, turn power off at the breaker first |
| AC cooling a little but not keeping up | Usually next-day service is fine |
| Slight ice on the line | Turn cooling off, fan on, then call in the morning |
What Should You Do Before the Tech Arrives?
Before the emergency tech arrives, a few safe steps can protect your home and sometimes fix the problem.
- Check the thermostat is on COOL and the batteries are good.
- Check the breakers for the indoor and outdoor units.
- Swap a dirty filter.
- If there's ice, set cooling OFF and fan ON.
- If water is leaking, turn the system off and catch the water.
- Close blinds and run ceiling fans to slow the heat.

Can I Wait Until Morning to Save Money?
You can often wait until morning if nobody at home is at risk and nothing is leaking or burning. Here's how to decide.
- Wait: the AC is cooling some, or the house is under 82 degrees and nobody is vulnerable.
- Call now: seniors, babies, someone sick or pets are home in serious heat.
- Call now: water is leaking, or anything smells like it's burning.

How to Avoid an Emergency AC Breakdown
Most Are Preventable
Most emergency AC breakdowns are preventable. Weak capacitors, slimy drain lines and dirty coils all show up at a spring tune-up months before they fail.
- Spring tune-up: catches weak capacitors and dirty coils.
- Drain line care: flushing twice a year stops most leak emergencies.
- Filter changes: every 1 to 3 months to prevent frozen coils.
- Clear outdoor unit: 2 feet of space for airflow.
- Comfort Club: priority service when everyone's AC is struggling.
Most Are Preventable Written prices, $50 off any repair and free second opinions.
