What Is Considered an AC Emergency for Homeowners?
An AC emergency is any cooling failure or hazard that needs same‑day help. In Denver-area homes, call fast if the AC quits during extreme heat. Burning or electrical smells are urgent. Loud banging or screeching is not normal and merits emergency service. Water leaking around the unit is an emergency. Constant short-cycling, a system that will not run, or a blank thermostat also count.
Quick checks:
- Turn the system off if you smell burning or hear grinding.
- Confirm thermostat settings and a clean filter.
- Check the breaker before we arrive.
