What’s an AC Emergency?

Heat has arrived. You have probably already switched over to your air conditioning system to make sure it is running properly. But what if it’s not? It’s uncomfortably warm, your AC system is on the fritz, and you want to get in touch someone but it’s late and you aren’t sure if this is considered an AC emergency that that is going to cost more. You may have heard that Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts is available all day every day for emergency air conditioning repair, but what actually constitutes a 24 hour AC repair emergency? And what will it cost? 

Please know that you can always call Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts, anytime of day, every day of the year. Our customer service agents are available live, at all times to help decide if an expert needs to come out right away or if it’s something you could wait out until morning. 

When trying to decide the severity by yourself, here are a few matters where you should go ahead and give us a call.  

Squeeling Sounds

There are several reasons that your air conditioning equipment might be making unusual, shrieking noises. One common problem may be that the fan belt is loose. Standard maintenance can help avoid this problem, but sometimes life happens 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, shrieking noise is that the compressor is running at a high level of pressure, which can be hazardous. If a sound seems excessive, shut off your AC system immediately and call Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts for an emergency AC repair job. 

Unusual Smells

A burning stench coming from your AC system is normally a symptom of an electrical complication or a component has become so overheated that it’s literally burning. If your air conditioner smells like it’s burning, that is a definite emergency AC repair. Call Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts immediately for 24 hour AC repair. 

No Air Flow

If your air conditioning unit doesn’t seem to be kicking on, or you can’t feel any air flowing, this could be an indication that the cooling system has failed. The reason could be a poorly calibrated thermostat, an issue with the blower, or your air conditioning unit could have finally bit the dust. If the system isn’t generating air flow, or the air that’s blowing is not cool, go ahead and call Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts, especially if there is extreme heat, so we can get a technician out to make sure you are safe and comfortable. Not having cool air in severe weather absolutely constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
