Introduction
We’re bracing ourselves for a historic heatwave with temperatures soaring into the 90s and beyond! Your air conditioning system will be working overtime to keep you cool and comfortable.
But what happens when your air conditioning (AC) unit experiences issues during these extreme weather conditions? In this blog post, we’ll discuss what qualifies as an AC emergency and when you should call the professionals at Air Repair Pros.
People have sometimes asked us “What counts as an AC emergency” where our 24/7 emergency service applies?
Breakdown of the system
One of the most obvious AC emergencies is a complete system breakdown. This can be caused by various factors, such as a faulty compressor, a refrigerant leak, or a broken fan motor. A complete system failure not only leads to uncomfortable temperatures but can also result in poor indoor air quality and potential health hazards, especially for the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. If your AC system breaks down, contact a professional at Air Repair Pros immediately — which is probably obvious to you already, in this weather!
Insufficient cooling
Another AC emergency occurs when your system is running but not cooling your home effectively, despite setting the thermostat to your desired temperature. This issue can be caused by several factors, including a clogged air filter, refrigerant leaks, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
Before calling for emergency service, check and replace your air filter if it’s clogged, as this is a simple step homeowners can often perform themselves. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, the problem may be caused by those other more serious factors!
Ignoring this problem will lead to increased energy bills and additional strain on your AC system, potentially causing a complete breakdown.
Refrigerant leak
A refrigerant leak is another serious AC emergency that will definitely allow you to take advantage of our 24/7 emergency services. Refrigerant is essential for your AC system to cool your home effectively. A leak can cause your unit to lose its cooling capacity, leading to increased energy consumption and potential health risks due to exposure to harmful chemicals. If you suspect a refrigerant leak, contact Air Repair Pros right away to locate and repair the source of the leak.
Unusual noises, smells, or electrical issues
If your AC system starts making strange noises, emitting unusual odors, or causing electrical issues like flickering lights or tripped breakers, these are all signs of a potential AC emergency. These issues can indicate serious problems within your system that require immediate attention from us!
