FAQs
What situations are considered an air-conditioning emergency in Cowan?
Any issue that threatens your family’s safety, comfort, or the integrity of the equipment is an emergency. Examples include total loss of cooling during extreme summer heat, electrical odors or sparking at the indoor or outdoor unit, refrigerant or water leaks that can damage ceilings or floors, persistent breaker trips, or loud metal-on-metal noises that indicate imminent compressor failure. If you are unsure, call us—our dispatcher will help you decide whether immediate service is required.
How fast can your technicians reach my home or business in Cowan?
Because we station service vehicles in and around Cowan 24/7, our average door-to-door response time inside the city limits is 60 minutes or less. For customers in surrounding rural areas, travel may take up to 90 minutes depending on road conditions and time of day. You will receive a text or phone call with the technician’s estimated arrival time, GPS tracking link, and name for security.
Do you provide emergency AC repairs after hours, on weekends, and on holidays?
Yes. Our emergency response line is staffed around the clock—including nights, weekends, and all major holidays. A dedicated on-call crew is scheduled specifically for after-hours work, so you never have to wait until the next business day for critical cooling repairs. The same factory-trained, EPA-certified technicians who handle daytime calls also cover overnight shifts, ensuring consistent workmanship.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency technician to arrive?
If you smell burning, hear grinding, or see smoke, switch the system OFF at the thermostat and, if safe, at the breaker panel. For water leaks, place a pan or towels under the drip and shut down the unit to reduce additional damage. Check and replace clogged filters, open all supply vents, and clear away debris from the outdoor condenser so service can proceed quickly. Gather your equipment model number, warranty papers, and recent maintenance records to help the technician diagnose faster. Above all, stay cool—use fans, draw curtains, and hydrate, especially when temperatures soar.
How much does an emergency air-conditioning service call cost?
We charge a flat diagnostic fee that covers travel to your Cowan location and a comprehensive system evaluation, even after hours. You will receive a written, upfront price for any repairs before we do the work—no hidden overtime multipliers or surprise line items. Costs vary with the part required: common fixes such as capacitors or contactors often range from $95–$250, while major repairs like compressor replacement are higher. We accept all major credit cards, offer same-day financing on repairs over $500, and honor manufacturer warranties to lower your out-of-pocket expense.
Can you repair all air-conditioning brands and system types?
Absolutely. Our technicians are NATE- and EPA-certified to service central split systems, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, rooftop packaged units, and light commercial systems. We maintain an on-board inventory of universal parts that fit leading brands such as Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, Mitsubishi, and Daikin. For less common models, we have direct access to local supplier warehouses in Cowan and can often secure parts the same day. All workmanship is backed by a one-year labor warranty for your peace of mind.
