What’s an AC Emergency?

Summer weather on its way. You’ve most likely already turned on your air conditioning system to make sure it is running properly. But what if it’s not? It’s getting warm, your AC system is on the fritz, and you want to call 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 Teays Valley Service Experts is available 24/7/365 for emergency air conditioner repair, but what actually constitutes a 24 hour AC repair emergency? And how much will is cost? 

First of all, you can always call Teays Valley Service Experts, day or night, every day of the year. Our customer service team is available live, 24/7 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 on your own, 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 issue, but sometimes life happens and you need to call for an AC repair appointment. Another reason your AC system 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, turn off your AC system immediately and call Teays Valley Service Experts for an emergency AC repair appointment. 

Strange Smells

A burning stench coming from your air conditioning unit is usually a symptom of an electrical issue or a piece has become so overheated that it’s actually burning. If your A/C smells like it’s burning, that is a definite emergency AC repair. Call Teays Valley Service Experts immediately for 24 hour AC repair. 

No Air Flow

If your air conditioning unit doesn’t seem to be kicking on, or you can’t feel any air coming out, this could be a symptom that the cooling system has malfunctioned. The cause could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, a complication 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 warm instead of cool, go ahead and call Teays Valley 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 definitely constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
