HVAC Emergency Services

An air conditioner temporarily not working is usually considered a common HVAC problem, not an emergency situation. However, if you live in a hotter area where temperatures regularly stay high throughout the day, a broken AC system can quickly become an emergency. The issue can also become an emergency if the unit does not respond to troubleshooting methods or if there is evidence (such as an odor) of gas or refrigerant leakage. If the AC is out for an extended period or a smell is emanating from it, it’s time to call in professional help.

There can be some confusion about when to push the emergency shut-off button since it’s not always necessary in HVAC emergencies. You should only push it when there is evidence of a fire, spill, leak, or other hazardous issue with the equipment.

The general lifespan of an HVAC system is between 15 and 25 years. Regular maintenance can extend the equipment’s life expectancy, while improper installation or neglecting damage, deterioration, or other repairs can significantly lower it.

Not always, but yes, a leak in your HVAC system can be an emergency. If the substance leaking is refrigerant or noxious gas, it can be extremely dangerous to your employees and customers. Take immediate action by evacuating and contacting Aire Serv for HVAC emergency services.

First, know what constitutes an HVAC emergency. Issues like minor airflow problems or adjusting your settings with the changing seasons are not emergencies. However, true emergencies can include things like unfamiliar smells coming from your system, noticeable electrical problems, heat or smoke, or leaking refrigerant. These can have serious effects on the health of those within your commercial space, as gasses that leak from heating and cooling units can be toxic.

Other important tips for preventing serious problems include keeping the areas around your HVAC equipment free of debris and changing your air filters consistently.
