\"man-with-fan\"During stressful times, you don\u2019t want to have yet another major problem dropped into your schedule. A broken air conditioning system counts for most people as a \u201cmajor problem\u201d during the summer, and if you have an air conditioner that isn\u2019t providing the level of comfort your household requires, you will probably need to call us for air conditioning repair in Colorado Springs, CO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The question we\u2019re tackling here is how urgent<\/em> the repair need is. When do you make an emergency AC call to a contractor (like us) who offers 24-hour service to fix air conditioners? When is the problem that immediate? We\u2019ll get into this more below.<\/p>\n

First\u2014make certain to go through basic troubleshooting<\/h3>\n

When you have a non-working AC, either blowing out warm air or not running at all, there are a few basic checks to make that could explain the problem. Make sure the air filter is clean. See if any circuit breakers have tripped. Check the thermostat settings. Clear away debris from the outdoor cabinet. These troubleshooting steps apply to any AC problem, because you may not actually have a problem.<\/p>\n

If you think it\u2019s urgent, treat it as urgent<\/h3>\n

Moving on to figuring out if an AC problem is an emergency \u2026 You don\u2019t have to think too hard about it if you feel<\/em> you have an emergency. You may not have a major problem on your hands, but this isn\u2019t a case where you want to wager on doing nothing. It\u2019s much better to be cautious and have the technicians out as soon as possible. So if you think it\u2019s an emergency, treat it like one.<\/p>\n

How much cooling jeopardy are you in?<\/h3>\n

If the air conditioning system breaks down at a time when it isn\u2019t as necessary to keep the house cool, then you might just schedule a repair for regular hours. If the trouble with the AC is a low level of cooling, or if it hasn\u2019t lost significant cooling but it\u2019s behaving oddly (making strange noises, starting and stopping too often), you can probably also make a standard repair call. Please note that we\u2019re not saying you should delay<\/em> those repairs! You should call at the earliest convenience.<\/p>\n

Hidden emergencies<\/h3>\n

There are some air conditioning problems that don\u2019t seem like emergency problems, but are. Troubles with the AC\u2019s compressor are the main ones to watch for. If the compressor has trouble starting, or you hear loud noises coming from it, shut off the air conditioner and call right away for help. A failed compressor often means the whole air conditioner needs to be replaced, so catching the compressor when it can still be repaired is important.<\/p>\n
