What’s an AC Emergency?

Temperatures are rising. You’ve most likely already booted up your air conditioning system to make sure everything is functioning properly. But what happens if it’s not? It’s hot, your AC system is on the fritz, and you want to contact someone but it’s late and you aren’t sure if this is considered an AC emergency that comes with an upcharge. You might have heard that Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air is available 24/7/365 for emergency air conditioner repair, but what actually constitutes a 24 hour AC repair emergency? And how much extra does it cost? 

First of all, you can always call Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air, day or night, every day of the year. Our customer service team is available live, around the clock to help decide if someone needs to come out immediately or if it’s something that can wait until morning. 

When trying to decide the severity by yourself, here are a few 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, screeching noises. One common problem could be that the fan belt got loose. Regular maintenance can help avoid this problem, but sometimes there’s an emergency and you need to call for an AC repair appointment. Another reason your air conditioning unit 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, turn off your air conditioning unit immediately and call Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air for an emergency AC repair job. 

Strange Smells

A burning odor coming from your AC system is generally a sign of an electrical issue or a piece has become so overheated that it’s actually burning. If your air conditioner smells like it’s burning, that is a definite emergency AC repair. Call Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air immediately for round the clock AC repair. 

No Air Flow

If your AC system doesn’t seem to be running at all, or you can’t feel any air blowing, 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 A/C system could have finally kicked the bucket. If the system isn’t generating air flow, or the air that’s blowing is too hot, go ahead and call Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air, especially if there is extreme heat, so we can get someone out to make sure you are safe and comfortable. Not having air conditioning in severe weather absolutely constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
