What Constitutes an Air Conditioner Emergency?
If you’re not an expert, knowing what classifies as an AC emergency can be hard. Our team has compiled some common AC emergencies you should be aware of, including:
- No cool air during a heat wave: When the temperature reaches the mid-70s and higher, any loss of cool air is deemed an emergency.
- Unfamiliar odors from your unit: You should never smell a foul odor coming from your AC, so you have a right to be concerned if this happens.
- Inadequate airflow: If your system isn’t creating airflow at all, it’s a strong sign that something has drastically gone wrong.
Don’t hesitate when it comes to emergency AC repair. Call the team at Cranney Home Services.
Most Common Air Conditioner Repairs
- Refrigerant: Refrigerant is the chemical component responsible for cooling the air flowing from your AC. If this chemical needs to be replaced at any point, you may have a leak in your system. If refrigerant is leaking, your AC won’t cool as fully or efficiently. We can locate and repair leaks in no time.
- Controls: Electric controls are necessary to keep your equipment running smoothly and properly. These can wear over time, especially if the AC is switched on and off frequently. This can impair function drastically.
- Sensors: Most models come with a sensor that determines the temperature in your home. This allows the AC to turn on when the temperature is warmer than desired. If the sensor is knocked out of place or isn’t working properly, the AC won’t work correctly.
- Drainage: If drainage is restricted, your AC could face severe problems down the line. Drainage is necessary, especially in periods of high temperatures or high humidity. Water accumulates in and around the machine, and it must drain out. Any liquid that remains for an extended period of time can result in a blockage or potential mold growth, and you don’t want that pumped into your home.
- Fans: If the fan in your AC isn’t working properly, or if it has stopped completely, airflow will be restricted. This can also cause the AC to overheat, which can damage it even more.
- Bad wiring: If your AC’s wiring is faulty, this is a potential fire hazard and you should contact us immediately.
- Improper installation: If your AC wasn’t properly installed at first, we can fix it. Improper installation can cause several issues that can impair function and hinder drainage.
If you notice any of these common AC issues, don’t hesitate to contact Cranney Home Services. Our team is ready to answer your questions and help you find the best solution for your air conditioner.

Air Conditioning Repair FAQ
What should I check before calling for AC repairs?
There are a few things you can check yourself before calling a professional for AC repairs, including the thermostat. Make sure it has power and is set to “Cooling” mode with the fan on “Auto.”
Double-check the set temperature and replace the batteries if the thermostat has them. Make sure none of the vents are blocked and try resetting the system by turning its breakers off and then on.
Not sure if your AC needs repair? Check out these common signs that it's time for a service visit. If none of these tips help, call Cranney Home Services for troubleshooting and repair.
Why does my AC keep freezing up?
A frozen evaporator can be caused by a clogged air filter, a blocked return vent, a dirty condenser, a dirty evaporator, low refrigerant, and more. Check the air filter and make sure none of the duct registers are blocked.
To thaw your system safely, and determine why it's freezing up, call our experts at Cranney Home Services.
When should I replace my air conditioner versus repairing it?
Air conditioners last about 12 to 15 years, so if yours is less than a decade old and has no major problems, like a faulty compressor or a leaking coil, repairs are usually the best option.
If your system is over a decade old, breaks down often, needs costly repairs, or can't cool your home effectively and efficiently, it may be time for an AC replacement. Contact us for an estimate in the North Shore area.
What should I do if my AC is making a weird noise?
Some noises, like pinging and popping, may be caused by something minor, like air ducts expanding and contracting as they heat and cool.
Other noises, like grinding, screeching, or squealing, may indicate mechanical problems or a faulty compressor. If you can't identify the source, contact Cranney Home Services for AC repairs.
