Emergency AC Repair in Cave Creek AZ

When your AC dies at 9pm in July, that is not a next morning problem. A Cave Creek house climbs past 90 degrees inside in about two hours. Cave Creek AC Repair Pros answers the phone day and night from May through September.

In winter it is different, and we will tell you so. Next business day is normal from November to March. Anyone promising a 2am truck in January is selling you urgency you do not need.

Tell Us These Four Things

How fast we get to you depends mostly on the first ninety seconds of the call.

  • Who is in the house. Older folks, babies, anyone pregnant, anyone with a heart or breathing condition. This moves you up the line, and it should.
  • How hot it is inside right now, and whether it is still climbing.
  • What the outdoor unit is doing. Silent, humming with no fan, running nonstop, or tripping the breaker. Each one points somewhere different.
  • Roughly how old the system is. A 2008 unit and a 2021 unit are very different conversations.

Check These First

Three things take a minute and sometimes save you a service call.

  • The breaker. Reset it one time. If it trips again, stop and call us. Resetting it over and over is a fire risk.
  • The gray box outside, on the wall near the unit. Roofers, painters and landscapers pull it and forget to put it back.
  • The drain pan switch at the indoor unit. If the drain line clogged, that switch shut the system off on purpose so water would not ruin your ceiling.

If those check out and the house is still getting hotter, call us.

What Usually Causes A Night Call

Almost always it is a heat related electrical part. A capacitor that has been slowly failing since June finally gives up on the first 115 degree day. Or a contactor sticks. Or the outdoor fan motor seizes.

All three are usually fixed on the first visit, and all three cost hundreds, not thousands. Details on AC repair in Cave Creek AZ.

The bad night is a dead compressor on an older unit. There is no same day fix for that. We will talk you through a plan to stay cool while we price a new system, instead of pushing an expensive repair onto a unit that will not last.

The Cheapest Way To Avoid This

Book a tune up in March. The coil cleaning costs a fraction of one after hours call, and most August failures start with a dirty coil back in June.

Emergency AC Repair questions

What counts as an emergency?

Anyone in the house who is elderly, a baby, pregnant, or has a heart or breathing problem, plus an indoor temperature climbing past the mid 80s. People die from heat indoors in Maricopa County every summer. Tell us who is in the house when you call. It changes where you sit in line.

Does an after hours call cost more?

The trip charge sits at the high end of the $79 to $169 range, and some nights and holidays add a fee on top. The repair itself is usually priced the same. We tell you both numbers on the phone before we drive out.

What should I do while I wait?

Close the blinds on the south and west sides of the house. Run your ceiling fans. Drink water even if you are not thirsty. If you see ice on the copper line, set the thermostat to Off and leave the fan on so it can melt. Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips again.
