FAQs
What situations count as an air-conditioning “emergency” that warrant a 24/7 dispatch?
Any issue that threatens your safety, comfort, or property is considered an emergency. Examples include a complete AC shutdown during extreme heat, refrigerant leaks, strange burning smells, electrical sparking at the condenser or air handler, flooding from a clogged condensate line, or loud grinding noises that suggest imminent compressor failure. If you are unsure, call us and one of our on-call specialists will help you determine whether an immediate dispatch is needed.
Do you really provide 24/7 service in Collegedale, or are there blackout times?
Yes—our emergency dispatch line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. Because we maintain a rotating on-call schedule for our licensed technicians who live and work in the Collegedale area, someone is always available to be dispatched to your home or business, even at 2 a.m. on a holiday.
How quickly can a technician reach my home once I place an emergency call?
For customers inside Collegedale city limits, our average door-to-door response time is 60–90 minutes. In peak summer demand, arrival can extend to about two hours, but we will always give you a realistic ETA while you are on the phone. The dispatcher tracks the nearest qualified technician via GPS and can update you in real time.
Will an emergency visit void my manufacturer’s warranty or service agreement?
No. All of our technicians are factory-trained, EPA-certified, and authorized to service major brands like Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and York. We follow OEM procedures and use genuine or OEM-approved replacement parts, so your existing manufacturer warranties and any extended service agreements remain intact.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency technician to arrive?
First, turn the AC system off at the thermostat to prevent further damage. If you smell burning or see sparks, shut power at the breaker panel. Mop up any standing water from condensate overflow to protect floors. Keep pets and children away from the equipment. Have your model and serial number handy, along with a brief timeline of when the problem started—this helps the technician bring the right parts and tools.
Are there additional fees for after-hours or holiday emergency service?
Yes, because nighttime, weekend, and holiday calls require overtime staffing, a reduced travel window, and access to specialty parts suppliers after hours. We charge a modest emergency diagnostic fee that covers dispatch, travel, and initial evaluation. You will receive a written estimate for any repair before work begins, and if you approve, the diagnostic fee is applied toward the repair cost. Maintenance-plan members get 15 % off emergency fees.
