Greenwood, IN Emergency AC Repair

Not every cooling problem means you need to drop everything and call right away—but some issues just can’t wait. In the summer heat of Greenwood, even a few hours without air conditioning can put your comfort and safety at risk. 

At Brewer Heating & Cooling, we want you to feel confident knowing when to call for emergency AC repair and when it’s okay to schedule a standard appointment. If you experience any of the following, don’t hesitate—call us immediately:

AC System Won’t Turn On

You’ve checked the thermostat, made sure the power’s on, and still—nothing. If your air conditioning system is completely unresponsive, this can point to electrical issues, compressor failure, or even a broken thermostat. Going without air conditioning for very long could be unsafe, especially if indoor temperatures are rising.

Warm Air Coming From Vents

Is your air conditioner running, but it’s blowing warm air? That’s not just a comfort issue—it may indicate a refrigerant leak, a broken compressor, or serious airflow restrictions. In hot weather, this puts unnecessary strain on your system and can spike your energy bills fast.

Tripped Breakers or Electrical Surges

If turning on your AC unit causes your breaker to trip, that’s a sign something’s seriously wrong—possibly a short in the wiring, a faulty capacitor, or a failing motor. This isn’t something to ignore or try to reset repeatedly. Electrical issues can escalate quickly and pose fire risks.

Ice on Coils

Frozen coils may seem like your AC is working too well, but it’s actually a sign of poor airflow or low refrigerant—both of which require immediate professional attention. Running the system while it’s frozen can cause lasting damage and shorten its lifespan, leading to early air conditioning replacement.

Water or Refrigerant Leaks

Any visible puddling around your unit—especially if it smells sweet or chemically—could be a refrigerant leak. This isn’t just a repair issue; it can be a health hazard. Water leaks from a clogged drain line can also lead to mold growth and water damage if left unchecked.

Burning or Chemical Smells

If you detect a burning smell when the air conditioner is running, shut it off and call us right away. This could indicate overheated wiring, motor failure, or insulation problems. Chemical smells might point to a refrigerant leak. In either case, don’t wait it out.

Loud, Unusual Noises

All AC units make some noise, but if you hear banging, screeching, grinding, or rattling, something’s wrong. These sounds can be signs of loose parts, a broken fan, or failing components, and the longer they go unchecked, the more damage they can cause.

Not Sure It’s an AC Emergency? Call Anyway.

We get it—nobody wants to call in a panic just to find out it could’ve waited. That’s why we keep things honest and straightforward. When you call Brewer Heating & Cooling, our team will ask a few questions, talk you through the issue, and determine whether it’s a true emergency or not. We’d rather take the time to walk you through it than risk your safety or comfort.

If your cooling issue does warrant an emergency AC repair, we’ll be there right away! If the problem is minor and can wait until the next business day, we’ll go ahead and set an appointment and see you soon!
