Gas, smoke, or CO alarm
Leave the home for gas odor or a carbon monoxide alarm. If you see smoke or smell burning electrical, stop troubleshooting and call.
A no-cooling emergency is no time for guesswork. If there's a safety risk, water, an electrical or gas smell, or unsafe indoor temperatures, call us right away and keep everyone clear until help arrives.
If you smell gas or a CO alarm is going off, leave the home and call emergency services first. For no heat, no cooling, a burning electrical smell, repeated breaker trips, or water near the equipment, call us and describe what you see before you touch anything inside the cabinet.
Leave the home for gas odor or a carbon monoxide alarm. If you see smoke or smell burning electrical, stop troubleshooting and call.
Unsafe indoor temperatures, fast temperature swings, or a system that won't start — that's an urgent call.
Water near equipment, coil ice, repeated breaker trips, and outdoor-unit failure all help us narrow the repair.
We make the home safe first, then get the system running — or safely shut down — until the full repair is clear.
No heat, no cooling, gas, water, smoke, or an electrical issue needs a clear first move. Stay out of sealed panels and anything gas or refrigerant, and give us the symptoms, the timing, and whatever changed right before it failed.
Here's how a no cooling emergency visit goes — so by the end you know what broke, what the fix costs, and whether it's worth doing.
Which system is acting up, when it started, and what you see, hear, smell, or feel in the home.
We work through thermostat setting, air filter, indoor coil, outdoor condenser, blower motor, capacitor, drain line, and breaker until we find the failure.
The fix you need now, anything safety-related, and any maintenance or replacement worth knowing about.
Nothing happens until you've okayed it.
If one bad part or condition explains the problem, that's the repair — and that's where we start.
We check airflow, drainage, controls, ductwork, and maintenance history so the same fault doesn't return next week.
If your system's age, a safety issue, a major component, or a string of repairs tips the math toward replacement, we'll tell you why a new system is the smarter money than more no cooling emergency.
Look for the thing that changed: temperature, airflow, water, ice, odor, noise, breaker trips, or an alarm. That keeps the conversation grounded when you call.
A few things cause it — restricted airflow, a thermostat setting, trouble in the outdoor unit, a frozen coil, or a refrigerant issue. If you see ice, shut the system off and call us; running it that way only makes it worse.
Call us right away if it's getting dangerously hot inside, there's water near the equipment, breakers keep tripping, or you smell something burning. Warm air with none of that still needs prompt attention — it's just not a middle-of-the-night call.
Quick things you can check: thermostat setting, filter, breaker, that the vents are open, and whether there's ice or water around the unit. Leave the panels, wiring, refrigerant, and anything gas-related to us — that's where it gets unsafe.
Yes. Have the brand, model, and rough age handy if you can — but we go by what the system's actually doing, not the badge on the cabinet.
