What’s an AC Emergency?

Temperatures are rising. You’ve most likely already turned on your air conditioning system to make sure everything is running properly. But what if it’s not? It’s uncomfortably warm, your AC system is on the fritz, and you want to contact someone but it’s nighttime and you aren’t sure if this is considered an AC emergency that that is going to cost more. You might have heard that Epperson Service Experts is available 24/7/365 for emergency air conditioner repair, but what is actually considered a 24 hour AC repair emergency? And what will it cost? 

First of all, you can always call Epperson 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 that will be okay to wait until morning. 

When trying to decide the severity by yourself, here are some 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, shrieking noises. One common situation could be that the fan belt is loose. Regular maintenance can help avoid this problem, but sometimes things happen and you need to get in touch with a professional 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, shut off your AC system immediately and call Epperson Service Experts for an emergency AC repair job. 

Strange Smells

A burning odor coming from your air conditioner is generally a sign 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 Epperson Service Experts immediately for 24 hour AC repair. 

No Air Flow

If your air conditioner doesn’t seem to be turning on, or you can’t feel any air coming out, this could be a sign that the cooling system has malfunctioned. The cause could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, a problem with the blower, or your air conditioning unit could have finally kicked the bucket. If the air conditioner isn’t generating air flow, or the air that’s blowing is warm instead of cool, go ahead and call Epperson Service Experts, especially if there is extreme heat, so we can get someone out to make sure your family is safe and comfortable. Not having cool air in severe temperatures absolutely constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
