What qualifies as an emergency AC repair?
No cooling during extreme heat, water leaking into ceilings, a breaker that repeatedly trips, ice on lines, burning smells, smoke, or loud grinding noises. If you notice smoke, sparks, or a gas smell, turn the system off and call emergency services first.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency AC repair in Anaheim?
Yes. We offer after-hours, weekend, and holiday dispatch for urgent no-cool situations across Anaheim and nearby cities. Call or text (714) 909-2168.
How fast can a technician arrive after hours?
Arrival windows vary by call volume and location. We triage emergencies and dispatch the nearest available technician, keeping you updated by text or phone.
What should I check before calling for emergency AC service?
Set the thermostat to COOL, replace a clogged filter, verify breakers aren’t tripped, and ensure the outdoor unit has 2–3 ft. of clearance. If issues remain, shut the system off and contact us.
Is it safe to run the AC if it’s frozen or not cooling?
No. Running a frozen or severely underperforming unit can damage the compressor. Turn it off to thaw and schedule service.
My AC is leaking water—do I need emergency service?
If water is dripping near ceilings, electrical, or drywall, treat it as urgent. Shut the system off and place a pan/towels to limit damage. We clear drains, repair pans, and correct airflow or charge issues.
I smell burning from the vents—what should I do?
Turn the system off at the thermostat and breaker. If you see smoke, sparks, or signs of fire, call 911. Then contact us for a safety inspection and repair.
The AC breaker keeps tripping—emergency or can it wait?
Frequent trips can indicate a failing capacitor, shorted wiring, seized motor, or compressor issues. Do not keep resetting—turn it off and schedule service to prevent further damage.
Do you charge an after-hours fee for emergency AC repair?
We use transparent, flat-rate pricing and disclose any after-hours diagnostic fee up front. You’ll approve the repair price before we begin.
How much does emergency AC repair cost at night or on weekends?
Costs depend on parts and labor. We provide an on-site diagnosis and a clear, written quote before work—no surprises or hidden fees.
Do you carry common parts for same-visit emergency fixes?
Yes. Our trucks are stocked with frequent-fail components like capacitors, contactors, motors, and sensors to complete many repairs on the first visit.
Do you service all brands and system types during emergencies?
We service all major brands and system types, including heat pumps and ductless mini-splits. We handle R-410A and newer low-GWP refrigerants like R-454B.
Any tips to stay cool while waiting for the technician?
Close blinds, use fans for air movement, avoid heat-generating appliances, and hydrate. If the coil is frozen, turn the system OFF to thaw and run the fan ON to help dry the coil.
Can you replace a failed AC the same day if it can’t be repaired?
Often, yes—subject to equipment availability and permitting. We offer financing (OAC) and help you choose a right-sized, high-efficiency system.
Do members get priority emergency AC service?
Yes. Maintenance members receive priority scheduling, free service calls, and repair discounts—especially helpful during heat waves.
