What counts as an AC emergency in 100°F heat

Say these things on the call. They change how we schedule you.
  • ✓Someone at home is vulnerable. An infant, an older adult, a pregnant person, or anyone with a heart, lung or other medical condition.
  • ✓The house is above 85 and rising. Indoor heat builds quickly once the system stops, especially in an upstairs.
  • ✓A pet cannot leave the house. Dogs and cats cannot cool themselves the way you can.
  • ✓Water is pouring from the unit. Turn the system off at the thermostat. Water near a ceiling fixture or an outlet is a safety issue.
  • ✓There is a burning smell or smoke. Switch the system off at the breaker and call right away.

What to do while you wait for the technician

These steps can bring the house down a few degrees and sometimes find a simple fix.
1

Check the thermostat

Set it to cool, with the temperature set below the room temperature. Replace the batteries if the screen is blank.
2

Check the filter and the breaker

A clogged filter can freeze the coil. Reset a tripped breaker once. If it trips again, leave it off and tell the technician.
3

Block the sun

Close blinds and curtains on the south and west sides of the house.
4

Cool yourself first

Run fans, drink water, and stay in the lowest, shadiest room. Do not cook or run the dryer.
5

Leave if the house is unsafe

A library, a shop or a relative’s place is better than a hot bedroom.
Ways to hold the house down a few degrees.
  1. Blinds closed on the sun side
  2. Fans running
  3. Water to drink
  4. Watch the indoor temperature

When to call 911 instead

Heat exhaustion looks like heavy sweating, cramps, dizziness and nausea. Move to a cooler place and drink water. Heat stroke is an emergency. If someone is confused, faints, has hot dry skin or a body temperature of 103°F or more, call 911 now and cool them while you wait.

The common causes behind a sudden AC failure

The technician will test for these first. Most are fixed in a single visit when the part is on the truck.
  • ✓A failed capacitor. The outdoor fan or compressor will not start.
  • ✓A frozen coil. Ice on the copper line from a dirty filter or low refrigerant.
  • ✓A clogged condensate line. The float switch shuts the system down to stop an overflow.
  • ✓A tripped breaker or a blown fuse. Often a symptom of something else, such as a failing motor.
The full list is on the main repair page.
Three quick checks before you call.
  1. Thermostat set to cool
  2. A clean filter
  3. Breaker not tripped

Emergency heating repair in winter

A freeze can leave a house without heat as quickly as a heat wave takes the AC. The same number works for emergency heating repair in Cedar Park. See the heating guide for what to check first, and ask about after hours charges before you book.
The thermostat is the first thing to check.

Ask about after hours charges

Many companies charge more for nights, weekends and holidays. Ask for the rate on the phone, and ask for the quote in writing when the technician arrives. If the system turns out to be past repair, ask for a replacement quote at the same time. See what replacing a system involves and every service in one place.

Emergency AC repair questions

Any case where the heat puts someone at risk, or where the system could cause damage, such as water pouring out or a burning smell. When in doubt, say who is at home and let us decide how fast to come.

The usual causes are a thermostat set wrong, a clogged filter, a frozen coil, a failed capacitor or low refrigerant. Check the thermostat and filter, then call if the air stays warm.

A blocked condensate line is the most common cause. Turn the system off at the thermostat to stop more water, and call.

Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so we answer calls at any hour. How fast a technician arrives depends on the hour, the weather and how many calls are open.

After hours rates may apply. We tell you the price on the call, before you book, and put the quote in writing before work starts.

There is no safe number. A healthy adult can manage a hot house for a while with water and fans, but infants, older adults and people with medical conditions can become ill within hours. If anyone at home is at risk, call right away and say so.

A tripping breaker can mean a failing compressor or motor, a wiring fault or a dirty coil forcing the system to work too hard. Reset a breaker once at most. If it trips again, leave it off and call.

Turn the thermostat to off and set the fan to on, so warm house air melts the ice. It can take a few hours. Do not chip the ice. Replace a clogged filter and call if it freezes again.

No. Running a frozen system can flood the drain pan and damage the compressor. Thaw it first, then call for the cause, which is usually a dirty filter, weak airflow or low refrigerant.

Close blinds on the sun side, run fans, open windows at night if the air outside is cooler than inside, stay in the lowest shaded room, drink water and avoid the oven and the dryer. These steps buy a few degrees. They do not fix the system.

Check the thermostat, filter and breaker. If nothing helps, call the number, say who is at home and ask for the first available visit and any after hours charge. If anyone shows signs of heat illness, call 911.
