Common Emergency AC Repairs
During summer, air conditioners work harder for longer hours, allowing problems to quickly develop or for minor problems that already exist to become big ones. While there are many ways for your AC to fail, most of the problems come down to a few key issues: refrigerant leaks requiring patching and recharging, mechanical problems with your blower, problems with the compressor, electrical issues, or airflow problems from the blower, vents, or filter.
Most of these problems are solved or prevented by the same service you’d receive during a routine maintenance visit, which is part of why it’s important to invest in annual tune-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the temperature and humidity and how well your home is insulated and otherwise protected from the elements. Some homes may stay comfortable for the better part of a day without AC, while others will feel the heat within a few hours. Refrigerant leaks can be quite dangerous, causing health issues, physical harm, damage to property, and in some cases creating a fire or explosion hazard. If you suspect a refrigerant leak, turn off your AC and give our team a call. The time frame can vary substantially with the size of your home, the layout of your ducts, your home’s insulation, and the temperature and humidity outside. If your home isn’t comfortable after several hours, your system is likely not strong enough for the task, at least at the current temperature.How long can my home stay cool when my AC is broken?
