Emergency AC Repair in Philadelphia, PA

Emergency AC repair in Philadelphia, PA is for the calls that can't wait until Monday: no cooling at all during a heat wave, a burning smell from the outdoor unit, water coming through a ceiling, or a home with an infant, an older relative or someone with a health condition who can't handle the heat.

Call (866) 703-1217 and tell us what you see and hear. Before our crew arrives, a few safe steps help. If there is a burning smell or smoke, shut the breaker off. If you see ice on the lines, set the thermostat to OFF and the fan to ON. If water is leaking, turn the system off and put a bucket under the drip.

Our trucks carry the parts that fail most on hot days: capacitors, contactors, condenser fan motors, fuses and float switches. That means many emergency calls end with the house cooling down on the same visit. When a bigger part like a compressor has to be ordered, we'll tell you plainly how long it will take.

A lot of emergency calls come down to a (/services/ac-capacitor-replacement) or a clogged drain. Save the number: (866) 703-1217.

Central AC Repair FAQs

Common questions about central AC repair

Questions we hear about Emergency AC Repair in Philadelphia, PA.

Talk to our crew
Why is my central AC running but not cooling the house?
The usual causes are a clogged filter, a dirty outdoor condenser coil, low refrigerant from a leak, or a failed capacitor that has stopped the outdoor unit while the indoor blower keeps running. Our crew measures the temperature split across the indoor coil to narrow it down before we quote anything.
Is it worth repairing an older R-22 system?
Sometimes. R-22 has not been produced or imported in the US since 2020, so any recharge uses reclaimed refrigerant at a high price. A small electrical repair on an R-22 unit can still make sense. A major leak or a failed compressor on one usually does not. We'll give you both numbers.
Why is there ice on my AC lines?
Ice forms when the indoor coil gets too cold, usually from low airflow (dirty filter, dirty coil, weak blower) or low refrigerant charge. Turn cooling off and run the fan to thaw it, then call us. Running a frozen system can damage the compressor.
Can you just add refrigerant to my AC?
We can, but it rarely makes sense on its own. A central AC system is sealed, so low refrigerant means a leak. Topping it off without fixing the leak means the charge leaks out again. We find the leak, repair it and weigh in the correct charge.
Why does my AC keep tripping the breaker?
Common causes are a compressor struggling to start because of a weak capacitor, a shorted fan motor, a compressor with a winding shorted to ground, or loose and overheated wiring. Resetting the breaker over and over can make it worse. Leave it off and call us.
