What counts as an emergency AC fix for homeowners?

An emergency AC fix is any repair needed to stop a safety risk, prevent active home damage, or restore cooling when heat makes the home unsafe. Most often, it’s a total loss of cooling in extreme heat or a system that won’t start at all. Other emergencies involve electrical odors, repeated breaker trips, or fast leaks that can stain ceilings or floors. We handle these calls every summer across the Lebanon area. Our team answers the phone until midnight, works weekends and holidays, arrives with stocked trucks for same‑visit repairs, and backs work with Fixed Right, or It’s Free. A technician’s note: if the outdoor unit is silent while the indoor blower runs, leave power off—capacitor or contactor failure is likely.

Call right away if you notice:

• No cooling or only warm air during dangerous heat
• Burning smell, smoke, or tripping breakers
• Water leaking from the air handler or ceiling
• Ice on lines, loud hissing, or rapid short cycling

If you’re unsure, shut the system off at the thermostat and breaker to protect equipment until a technician assesses it.
