What's an AC Emergency?

May 13, 2016

Temperatures are rising. You may have already turned on your air conditioning system to make sure everything is working properly. But what if it’s not? It’s uncomfortably warm, your AC system is not cooling, and you want to contact someone but it’s after 8 p.m. and you aren’t confident this is considered an AC emergency that that is going to cost more. You might have heard that Strand Brothers Service Experts is available 24/7/365 for emergency air conditioning repair, but what actually counts as a 24 hour AC repair emergency? And what will it cost?

First of all, you can always call Strand Brothers Service Experts, day or night, every day of the year. Our customer service representatives are available live, around the clock to help decide if an expert needs to come to your home right away or if it’s something you could wait out until morning.

When trying to check the severity on your own, here are a couple matters where you should go ahead and call us.

Squeeling Sounds

There are multiple reasons that your AC system might be making weird, screaming noises. One common issue might be that the fan belt became loose. Proper maintenance can help avoid this situation, but sometimes things happen and you need to get in touch with a professional for an AC repair appointment. Another reason your air conditioning unit could be making a loud, squeeling noise is that the compressor is working at a high level of pressure, which can be dangerous. If the noise seems excessive, turn off your air conditioner immediately and call Strand Brothers Service Experts for an emergency AC repair appointment.

Strange Smells

A burning odor coming from your air conditioner is usually an indication of an electrical issue or a piece has become so overheated that it’s literally burning. If your air conditioning system smells like it’s burning, that is a definite emergency AC repair. Call Strand Brothers Service Experts as soon as possible for round the clock AC repair.

No Air Flow

If your air conditioner doesn’t seem to be turning on, or you can’t feel any air blowing, this could be an indication that the cooling system has failed. The cause could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, a problem with the blower, or your A/C system could have finally bit the dust. If the AC isn’t producing air flow, or the air that’s blowing is warm instead of cool, go ahead and call Strand Brothers Service Experts, especially if there is extreme weather, so we can get someone out to make sure your family is safe and comfortable. Not having a functioning A/C in severe temperatures definitely constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
