Signs You Need Emergency AC Repair in Phoenix
While some AC issues can wait until morning, others require immediate attention to prevent system damage or ensure your family's safety. Here are the most common reasons to call for emergency service.
Total System Failure
If your AC won't turn on at all during extreme heat, it's a critical issue. We'll identify if it's an electrical failure, a blown motor, or a safety sensor shut-off.
Burning Smells or Smoke
A burning odor or smoke from your unit indicates an electrical problem or motor burnout. Turn your system off immediately and call us for an emergency inspection.
Loud Grinding or Screeching
Harsh metal-on-metal sounds suggest a failed compressor or fan motor bearing. Continued operation can cause permanent damage, requiring immediate attention.
Rapid Cycling or Short Cycling
If your unit turns on and off every few minutes, it's under extreme stress. This can lead to a complete burnout if not diagnosed and repaired by an expert quickly.
Electrical Issues & Sparking
Visible sparks or tripped breakers that won't reset are serious fire hazards. Our technicians will safely troubleshoot your system's electrical components.
Ice on Refrigerant Lines
Ice buildup even in the heat indicates a major airflow issue or a serious refrigerant leak. We'll thaw, leak-test, and repair your system to prevent compressor failure.
