FAQs

What qualifies as an AC “emergency” that your Belvidere technicians can handle 24/7?

Any situation that compromises your family’s safety, comfort, or property qualifies as an emergency. Examples include a total cooling failure during extreme heat, electrical odors or smoke coming from the air-handler, refrigerant leaks, frozen coils causing water damage, or a system that will not shut off. If you are unsure, call us—our dispatcher will help you decide whether immediate service is needed.

How fast can your team reach my home in Belvidere when I call after hours?

We maintain fully staffed on-call teams and GPS-tracked service vans stationed across Boone County. In most parts of Belvidere we arrive within 60 minutes, and rural addresses typically see a 90-minute or less response. You will receive a text or call with your technician’s exact ETA so you know when help is on the way.

Do emergency service rates cost more than regular business-hour visits?

No—our Up-Front Pricing policy means you pay the same diagnostic fee whether you call at 2 pm or 2 am. After diagnosing the problem, the technician presents fixed repair options in writing. You approve the price before work begins, so there are never surprise charges or overtime multipliers.

Can you service any brand or type of air conditioner?

Yes. Our EPA-certified technicians are factory-trained on all major brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Daikin, as well as ductless mini-splits and rooftop units. Each truck carries a broad inventory of universal and OEM parts, allowing us to repair 90% of AC issues on the first visit—even on older or discontinued models.

What should I do while waiting for the emergency technician to arrive?

Turn the thermostat off to prevent further damage, especially if you hear grinding or see ice on the unit. If you suspect a refrigerant or electrical issue, switch off the breaker to the air-handler or outdoor condenser. Open windows for ventilation and keep pets and children away from the equipment. Our dispatcher can guide you step-by-step until the technician arrives.

How can I avoid future late-night breakdowns?

Enroll in our ComfortGuard Maintenance Plan. For one low annual fee you receive two precision tune-ups (spring and fall), priority scheduling, a 15% repair discount, and up to 5 years of extended part warranty coverage. Regular inspections catch small issues—low refrigerant, worn capacitors, dirty coils—before they escalate into costly after-hours emergencies.
