What’s an AC Emergency?

Temperatures are rising. You have probably already booted up your air conditioning system to make sure the system is running perfectly. But what if it’s not? It’s getting warm, your air conditioning system is not cooling, and you want to get in touch someone but it’s late and you aren’t confident this is considered an AC emergency that that is going to cost more. You might have heard that McKinley Heating Service Experts is available 24/7/365 for emergency air conditioning repair, but what actually constitutes a 24 hour AC repair emergency? And what will it cost? 

First of all, you can always call McKinley Heating Service Experts, anytime of day, every day of the year. Our customer service team is available live, around the clock to help decide if a technician needs to come check it out immediately or if it’s something you could wait out until morning. 

When trying to check the severity without an expert, here are a couple matters where you should go ahead and call us.  

Squeeling Sounds

There are many reasons that your air conditioner might be making unusual, screaming noises. One common problem may be that the fan belt became loose. Regular maintenance can help avoid this situation, but sometimes there’s an emergency and you need to have an expert come out for an AC repair appointment. Another reason your air conditioner could be making a loud, screeching noise is that the compressor is operating at a high level of pressure, which can be hazardous. If a sound seems excessive, shut down your air conditioner immediately and call McKinley Heating Service Experts for an emergency AC repair appointment. 

Unusual Smells

A burning smell coming from your air conditioning unit is generally an indication of an electrical complication or a part has become so overheated that it’s really burning. If your air conditioner smells like it’s burning, that is absolutely an emergency AC repair. Call McKinley Heating Service Experts right away for round the clock AC repair. 

No Air Flow

If your air conditioner doesn’t seem to be kicking on, 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 complication with the blower, or your air conditioner could have finally met its maker. If the system isn’t generating air flow, or the air that’s blowing is not cool, go ahead and call McKinley Heating Service Experts, especially if there is extreme heat, so we can get someone out to make sure your home is safe and comfortable. Not having cool air in severe temperatures for sure constitutes a 24 hour AC repair.
