Signs You Need Emergency Cooling Repair
It may not always be obvious that you need an emergency AC repair. Here are some signs to watch out for:
- Electrical problems: If your air conditioner causes circuit breakers to trip frequently, or causes lights to dim when it turns on, call us immediately.
- Ice on the unit: When ACs develop ice buildup on outdoor components, the system won’t operate properly. Ice buildup can result from dirty coils, airflow obstructions, or low refrigerant levels.
- Unusual sounds: ACs may generate loud, unusual noises when certain problems occur, such as loose parts or broken components.
- Warm air or no air at all: If your AC produces no air or warm air, that can indicate several potential causes. No matter what, it needs to be addressed right away.
- Refrigerant leaks: When air conditioning systems perform correctly, there should be no water or refrigerant leakage. Have any leaks addressed as soon as possible.
Common AC Issues
There are a few air conditioning issues we see regularly, some of which can be addressed easily. These include:
- Airflow obstructions around vents and intakes
- Clogged or dirty air filters
- Malfunctioning thermostats
- Dirty components
If your AC is over 10 years old and has frequent issues, you may consider AC replacement rather than repairs.
What to Do When Your AC Breaks Down
ACs often break down at the worst possible times. Here are a few steps you can take to keep cool if your AC is unavailable:
- Close curtains and blinds to prevent heat gain.
- Use ceiling fans to promote airflow.
- Avoid using appliances that produce a lot of heat, like your oven.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency AC Repair
Why does my AC smell like it's burning?
Burning odors often indicate an electrical issue that could be hazardous. Have your AC checked out right away.
Can I defrost my AC unit?
Yes. Change your thermostat setting from cool to off and turn the fan from auto to on.
Letting the ice naturally melt will prevent system damage and restore airflow.
