FAQs
What situations count as an emergency AC repair in Norris?
Any issue that poses a safety risk, could cause significant property damage, or leaves your home without cooling during extreme temperatures is considered an emergency. Examples include total system failure in 90°+ weather, electrical burning smells, repeatedly tripped breakers, refrigerant leaks, and frozen evaporator coils that prevent any airflow.
How quickly can your technicians reach my home in Norris?
Our on-call technicians are stationed throughout Anderson County. In most cases we can be at any Norris address within 60–90 minutes, day or night. During widespread heat waves or storms we triage calls by severity, but you’ll always receive an accurate ETA and real-time text updates when the technician is en route.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency technician to arrive?
First, turn off the AC at the thermostat to prevent further damage. If you smell burning or see smoke, shut off power at the breaker panel. For refrigerant leaks, open windows for ventilation and keep children and pets away from the area. Gather any warranty documents or recent maintenance records—these help the technician diagnose faster.
How much does emergency AC repair typically cost?
After-hours service has a higher diagnostic fee than standard appointments, usually $120–$180 in Norris. Once we identify the problem, you’ll receive a flat-rate quote for parts and labor before work begins. Common emergency fixes like capacitor or contactor replacement run $150–$350 total, whereas compressor failures or refrigerant line repairs can exceed $1,000. We never perform work without your approval.
Can an emergency visit be avoided with regular maintenance?
Yes. Up to 80 % of the urgent calls we handle stem from issues that a spring tune-up would have caught—low refrigerant, dirty coils, failing capacitors, or clogged condensate drains. Scheduling two preventive visits per year, changing filters monthly, and keeping outdoor units clear of debris dramatically reduce the likelihood of middle-of-the-night breakdowns.
Do you guarantee your emergency repair work?
Absolutely. All parts we install are covered by a one-year manufacturer warranty, and we back our labor with a 100-day workmanship guarantee. If the same component we repaired fails within that window, we’ll return at no charge—no matter the time of day.
