What Counts as an Air Conditioning Emergency?

Certain situations require immediate attention to protect your home and health. Below are common scenarios where emergency AC repair becomes essential:

• Extreme Heat: If temperatures exceed 100°F during the day and remain above 80°F at night, functioning air conditioning is critical. A failed AC during such conditions can create unsafe living environments.
• Health Issues: Individuals with respiratory conditions like asthma or other health concerns rely on properly functioning air conditioning to maintain safe indoor air quality and temperature.
• Age Considerations: Older adults (70+) and newborns are more susceptible to heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses, making uninterrupted cooling vital for their well-being.

In these situations, Campbell’s emergency air conditioning repair services are here to provide swift and dependable solutions.

Common Air Conditioning Emergencies We Handle

Our experienced technicians are prepared to address a wide range of AC emergencies, including:

• Complete System Failure: When your air conditioning stops working altogether, we’ll restore it promptly.
• Burning Smells: Strange odors, especially burning smells, could indicate serious electrical or mechanical issues that need immediate attention.
• Water Leaks: Excessive condensation or leaking water can cause damage to your home and signal underlying problems with your AC system.

No matter the issue, you can trust Campbell to diagnose and resolve it quickly and efficiently.

What to Do if Your AC Breaks

If your air conditioner stops working, taking a few simple steps can help minimize discomfort and prevent further damage: 

• Check your thermostat to ensure it's set to “cool”, and the desired temperature is correct. 

• Inspect your circuit breaker to see if a tripped switch is preventing power to the AC unit. 

• If you’re comfortable doing so, turn off the power to the AC unit at the breaker panel to avoid strain or overheating. 

• Move residents vulnerable to heat, such as infants, seniors, or those with medical conditions, to a cooler part of the house or a shaded area. 

• Call Campbell for emergency AC repair so we can dispatch a technician as soon as possible. 

Our team will diagnose the issue and work quickly to restore cooling. If a temporary fix is needed while waiting on parts, we’ll provide safe, effective options to help you stay comfortable in the meantime. 

How to Stay Cool When the AC Goes Out

Until your air conditioner is back up and running, there are a few ways to stay cool and protect the health of everyone in your home: 

• Use fans strategically to circulate air. Place a box fan in a window to exhaust hot air or use ceiling fans to move air more efficiently. 

• Close blinds and curtains during the day to block out sunlight and reduce indoor heat. 

• Stay hydrated and avoid using heat-generating appliances like ovens or dryers. 

• Create a cool-down zone in a basement, shaded room, or near a window AC unit (if available). 

• For residents with limited mobility, ensure they have access to water, light clothing, and help relocating to a cooler space if needed. 

If extreme heat becomes unsafe, consider seeking shelter at a cooling center, library, or a neighbor’s home until repairs can be completed.
