FAQs
Do you offer 24/7 emergency air-conditioning service in Huntsville?
Yes. Our Huntsville-based technicians are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. When you place an emergency request, our dispatcher immediately routes the nearest certified technician to your address so your AC issue is handled as quickly as possible.
What is your average response time for an AC emergency in the Huntsville area?
Under normal traffic and weather conditions, we reach most addresses inside the Huntsville city limits within 60–90 minutes. Customers in surrounding communities such as Madison, Harvest, Meridianville, and Owens Cross Roads are generally served within two hours. During peak summer heat waves we add extra staff to keep wait times low.
What problems are considered an air-conditioning emergency?
Any situation that threatens your comfort, safety, or property qualifies for emergency service. Common examples include complete system failure during extreme temperatures, electrical burning smells, tripped breakers that keep resetting, refrigerant leaks, frozen indoor coils that cause water damage, and loud mechanical noises that suggest impending compressor failure.
Will I pay extra fees for after-hours or holiday service calls?
Because emergency requests fall outside standard business hours, an after-hours diagnostic fee applies. The fee covers technician overtime, dispatching, and stocking emergency parts. You will always receive the fee amount before we roll a truck, and it is waived if you enroll in our Comfort Club maintenance plan. All repair costs are quoted up-front and backed by our no-surprise pricing guarantee.
How can I prepare my home while waiting for the technician to arrive?
1) Turn off the thermostat to prevent further damage to the AC unit. 2) If you see water dripping, place a pan or towel under the leak and turn off the unit at the breaker. 3) Make a clear path to the indoor air handler and outdoor condenser so the technician can work quickly. 4) Gather recent maintenance records or warranty information if available. 5) Keep pets secured for their safety and the technician’s.
Which air-conditioning brands and system types do you service in emergencies?
Our EPA-certified technicians can diagnose and repair all major residential and light-commercial brands found in Huntsville, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, and Daikin. We service central split systems, heat pumps, mini-splits, rooftop package units, and smart inverter systems. All repairs follow manufacturer specifications to keep warranties intact.
