About Emergency AC Repair

When the cooling stops on a hot day, call us right away

Emergencies are stressful, so we keep the process simple. Call 615-357-7797, tell us what is happening and we will tell you what to expect and, when we can, give you a time window.

While you wait, a few quick safe checks may help: make sure the thermostat is set to cool, the breaker has not tripped and the filter is not clogged. If anything seems unsafe, such as burning smells, sparking or standing water near electrics, turn the system off and call us.

Signs to Watch For

When to Call Us

If you notice any of these, a check sooner is usually cheaper and safer than waiting.

  • No cooling at all
  • Burning smell
  • Ice on the coil or lines
  • Breaker keeps tripping

Safety first. If you smell gas, hear a carbon monoxide alarm, see smoke or sparks or smell burning, leave the area and call your gas utility or emergency services. For help with your heating and cooling, call us at 615-357-7797.

Questions About Emergency AC Repair

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

What should I do if my air conditioner stops working?

Check the thermostat, the breaker and the filter. If none of those fix it, call us at 615-357-7797 and tell us what is happening.

Is it safe to keep running an air conditioner that is making noise or ice?

Usually not. Turn it off and call us. Running a system with ice, grinding or burning smells can cause more damage.

Do you offer after-hours help?

Call 615-357-7797 and tell us the situation. We will give you an honest answer about availability and timing.
