Turn it off if it is frozen or smells

Ice on the lines, a burning smell or a breaker that keeps tripping are all reasons to shut the system down. Running it can turn a small repair into a compressor replacement.

Keep the house from heating up

Close blinds on sun-facing windows, run ceiling fans counterclockwise, avoid the oven, and keep interior doors open so air can move. Take vulnerable family members and pets to the coolest room.

Check the easy things

Thermostat batteries, the breaker, the filter and the outdoor disconnect. If the outdoor fan is running but the house is warm, leave it alone and let the technician diagnose.

What to expect when you call

A live dispatcher, a real arrival window, a technician with a stocked truck, and a flat-rate price you approve before any work starts, day or night.
