Three Emergency HVAC Service Procedures:
HVAC emergencies often cause operations to shut down. No one wants to deal with malfunctioning HVAC systems, but it can be very difficult to find the assistance you need on short notice. Here are some steps that you can take that will help you avoid these pitfalls. By following these three essential steps, you’ll be sure to maintain a position that puts your operation ahead of the curve.
Step 1 Identify the issues
Before calling to schedule a repair, start by troubleshooting the issue. Why Is My AC Not Working?
-
There’s no power to the air conditioner. This could be due to faulty wiring, a tripped breaker, or an overheated AC that has shut itself off. An air conditioner repair technician can fix the wiring, reset the circuit breaker, and make sure no vegetation is blocking airflow to the outdoor unit.
​​
-
The fan belt is worn out. A squealing sound is cause for concern, since it could indicate the fan belt is wearing out. If it snaps before an AC repair technician replaces it, the repair could end up being far more expensive.
-
There is a refrigerant leak. Hissing is a telltale sound that the refrigerant is leaking. This decreases efficiency and is bad for the environment. A trained Aire Serv technician will not only recharge the AC system but also replace tubing to prevent the leak from persisting.
-
The evaporator coil is frozen. Continual operation at night, a low refrigerant level, poor circulation, and other causes can result in a frozen evaporator coil. This makes the air exiting supply registers feel warm. Turn off the air conditioner and contact a technician to make the necessary repairs to prevent a frozen coil in the future.
-
The fan motor is defective. This can prevent air circulation in your home. A technician may be able to repair the motor, or a replacement could be necessary.
-
The compressor is defective. The fan runs, but the air feels warm because the compressor isn’t working. The compressor is one of the most expensive components of an air conditioner. Speak with your Aire Serv technician about whether a replacement is more cost effective than repair in this instance.
-
The condensate drain is clogged. Algae, dirt, insect nests, and other debris can clog the condensate drain over time, potentially leading to water damage. An air conditioning repair technician can flush the system and apply an algaecide to help prevent future clogs.
When the thermostat is rising and your air conditioner isn’t cutting it, you need fast, professional home air conditioner repair.

Step 3 Establish preventive maintenance routine
Just because the repair service has been delivered doesn’t mean that the action stops. A disruption can happen at any moment’s notice so it’s important to always stay on your toes. Preventative maintenance is a great way to keep your HVAC equipment in optimal shape. Even the best HVAC systems lose efficiency over time. Establish a preventative maintenance routine is a great way to preserve its original form. This will help you diagnose future issues, keep components and ductwork clean, and the thermostat at a stable, yet comfortable setting.
