What Is Considered an AC Emergency for Homeowners?

An AC emergency is any problem that threatens safety or comfort and needs immediate attention. Common emergencies include a complete shutdown in extreme heat, electrical smells or loud banging/screeching, refrigerant leaks, failed compressors or fans, frozen coils, blower motor or thermostat failure. If you suspect gas or carbon monoxide, shut off your furnace, evacuate, and call for help. Do not DIY electrical issues. Our Glendale Heights area team is available 24/7 with fully stocked trucks for fast on-site repairs.
