Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as an air conditioning emergency?

An AC situation is considered an emergency when indoor temperatures rise during extreme weather advisories, creating health risks for children, elderly residents, or medically vulnerable individuals; or when the unit produces smoke, burning odors, rapid water damage, or electrical sparking.

What should I do immediately while waiting for emergency service?

Turn the thermostat to "OFF". If there are burning smells or water overflowing near electrical components, turn off the AC breaker at the main electrical panel. Keep windows shaded and drink plenty of water.
