Call the number for your state - the closest available technician takes the call. ### No cooling while outdoor temps are dangerous Phoenix summers hit 110+ and inland LA/Valley days climb past 105. When the indoor temperature is climbing into the 80s and 90s with infants, elderly, sick, or just a full house, that is an emergency - not a wait-until-Tuesday call. ### Unit running and blowing hot or very weak air If the system is on, the fan is moving, and the air out of the vents is room temperature or warmer, something has failed in the refrigeration circuit. The longer it runs that way, the more damage it does to the compressor. ### Repeated breaker trips on the condenser A breaker that trips once and resets is a warning. A breaker that trips a second time is telling you the unit has an electrical fault that needs to be diagnosed before it becomes a fire hazard. Stop resetting it and call. ### Burning smell at the air handler A burning smell from a furnace, air handler, or near the vents is treated as an emergency every time. It can be a failing motor, dust on a heat strip, or an electrical issue - none of which you want to keep running while you sleep. ### Frozen suction line with a hot house Frost or ice on the suction line at the condenser or the line set, combined with a house that is not cooling, means the system is locked up. Turn it off at the thermostat and the breaker, and get a tech out before the compressor overheats. ### Not an emergency (book standard AC repair instead) - Noisy but still cooling - Filter overdue or a quick maintenance task - Planning a replacement and pricing options - Second opinion on a quote from another company These belong on AC Repair [/ac-repair/ →](/ac-repair/) or AC Installation [/ac-installation/ →](/ac-installation/) . Price ## What Emergency AC Repair Costs Diagnostic is **$89** and comes off the repair if you proceed. Common emergency repairs land in the **$180 - $650** range when the part is on the truck - capacitor, contactor, sensor, fan motor, condensate service, breaker reset. After-hours and Sunday calls use the same flat-rate menu for Care N'Comfort [/care-n-comfort/ →](/care-n-comfort/) members - no same-day or weekend upcharge on the membership. Non-members get the quoted flat rate before work starts. No clock, no hourly meter, no surprises on the invoice. The diagnostic is what determines which number applies. We do not quote from symptoms over the phone; we diagnose the unit first, then quote the repair as a single number covering parts and labor.

When the House Is Climbing ## Emergency AC Repair FAQs ### How fast can you actually get here for an emergency AC call? In the core of Greater Phoenix (Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Queen Creek) and the Crescenta / Glendale / Burbank / Pasadena core of Greater LA, a same-day slot is the default during business hours and a priority slot after hours. The 24/7 same-day window applies inside business hours; after-hours emergency routing is handled by the on-call tech for your state. We give you a real window - not a fantasy ETA - based on the route board when you call. ### Do you charge extra for after-hours or weekend emergency AC calls? Care N'Comfort members pay the same flat-rate menu regardless of day or time - no same-day upcharge, no weekend upcharge. Non-members are quoted the same flat-rate menu before work starts; we never run an hourly meter on emergency calls. The diagnostic fee is $89 and is credited toward the repair if you proceed. ### What if it is not actually an emergency? Tell us what the unit is doing when you call and we will tell you which page to be on. Noisy-but-cooling, filter overdue, and replacement-quote calls belong on standard AC Repair or AC Installation. Booking through the wrong page costs you a same-day slot that could have gone to a real no-cooling call, so we route you to the right place. ### My breaker keeps tripping. Should I keep resetting it? Once. After the second trip, leave it off. A breaker that will not hold is protecting you from an electrical fault in the condenser or the feed wiring. Continued resets can damage the compressor or the contactor and turn a $200 part into a $1,200 repair. Call us and we will diagnose before anything else gets hurt. ### I smell something burning. Is that really an emergency? Yes. A burning smell from the air handler, vents, or near the indoor unit can be a failing blower motor, a dust-laden heat strip, a wiring issue, or a failing capacitor venting. The right move is to shut the system off at the thermostat, leave the breaker alone, ventilate the house, and call. We treat every burning-smell call as priority routing. ### Can you handle emergencies in both states from the same number? No - the AZ and CA lines are separate on purpose. AZ calls go to (480) 435-2334 and dispatch from the AZ board to the closest East Valley technician. CA calls go to (818) 690-7951 and dispatch from the CA board to the closest Crescenta Valley / San Gabriel Valley technician. Text (818) 489-2826 with city, callback number, and the phrase "no cooling" and we route it to the right board. ### Still have a question?
