FAQs
Do you offer 24/7 emergency AC repair service in Lake City?
Yes. Our technicians are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. When your air conditioner stops working during Lake City’s hot, humid weather, simply call our emergency line and we will dispatch a certified HVAC professional immediately—day or night.
How quickly can a technician reach my home or business after I place an emergency call?
In most parts of Lake City we can arrive within 60–90 minutes. Response time can vary slightly during severe storms or peak‐season heat waves, but our local dispatch team prioritizes emergencies according to urgency and proximity to make sure you’re not left waiting in the heat.
What common AC problems require emergency repairs?
Emergency calls usually involve complete system failures, refrigerant leaks, electrical shorts, frozen evaporator coils, burning smells, smoke, or water leaks that threaten property damage. If your AC shows any of these signs—or if indoor temperatures rise to unsafe levels—call us immediately for fast, professional assistance.
How much does an emergency AC repair typically cost?
Costs depend on the nature of the breakdown, replacement parts, and time of service. After the technician diagnoses the problem, you will receive a written, up-front estimate before any work begins. We charge a modest after-hours service fee for calls outside regular business hours, but we also offer flexible financing and accept major credit cards to ease unexpected expenses.
Is the work covered by any guarantees or warranties?
Absolutely. All emergency repairs include our 1-year labor warranty, plus manufacturer warranties on new parts installed. If the same component we repaired fails within the warranty period due to workmanship or part defect, we will fix it at no additional cost. Ask your technician for full warranty details at the time of service.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency technician to arrive?
Turn off the AC at the thermostat and breaker if you detect burning smells, smoke, or sparking. For water leaks, place towels or a bucket under the unit to prevent water damage. Avoid opening windows if outdoor humidity is high; instead, use portable or ceiling fans to keep air moving. Gather any recent maintenance records to help the technician diagnose the issue faster.
