Emergency AC Repair in Biloxi

Emergency AC repair on residential and commercial systems gets a failed air conditioner running again when the heat makes waiting unsafe.

In a humid Biloxi summer a closed-up house holds its heat well into the night, so a dead system is not something to sit out until a cooler day.

We come out, find the part that failed instead of guessing at it, and quote the whole job before we start, with no surprise charges after.

Stay Cool Until the Repair

While the AC is down, the job is to keep the sun out of the house and the heat out of the people in it.

Do these while you wait for the repair:

  • Close the blinds

    Draw blinds and curtains on the sunny side so the afternoon sun stops heating the rooms.

  • Stay in the coolest room

    Pick a shady inside room and keep a fan moving the air across it.

  • Drink water

    Drink before you feel thirsty, and go easy on coffee and alcohol.

  • Check on older family members

    Older adults and young children are the most at risk from the heat, so look in on them often.

The National Weather Service heat safety pages list the signs of heat illness and when to get medical help.

How an Urgent Call Is Handled

Calls Monday to Saturday, 7 am to 6 pm, are answered or returned the same working day, and calls outside those hours are returned the next working morning.

After hours the phone goes to voicemail. Leave the address and what the system is doing, and we start with your call the next working morning.

  1. You call

    Tell us what the system is doing and whether anyone at home is struggling with the heat.

  2. We set a time

    You get a time to expect us, and we show up when we say we will.

  3. We find the fault

    The technician checks the outdoor unit, the indoor unit and the controls until the failed part shows itself.

  4. You see the price

    The whole job is quoted before any work starts, so the figure you hear is the figure you pay.

  5. Cool air again

    The repair is made, the system runs until the air at the vents is cold, and the work area is left clean.

Call the same day

AC Failures That Should Not Wait

No cooling in extreme heat, water leaking from the indoor unit and a burning smell should not wait for a convenient day, and neither should a breaker that will not stay on.

  • Warm air in a heat wave

    When the outdoor heat is extreme and the system blows warm, the rooms keep climbing through the afternoon, and so does the strain on the people in them.

  • A puddle at the inside unit

    Water around the "air handler" usually points to a clogged "condensate line" or a coil problem. Fixing drain and coil problems early avoids water damage and full system failure.

  • A hot or burning odor

    Switch the system off at the thermostat and leave it off. A burning smell from the vents or the outdoor unit needs a look before it runs again.

  • The breaker trips again

    A breaker that trips again after a reset is telling you something. Leave it off rather than resetting it over and over.

What it costs

What an Urgent Repair Costs

An urgent repair is priced from what the diagnosis finds, quoted in full before any work starts, with no surprise charges after.

A worn capacitor or a clogged drain is a small repair. A failed compressor on an older system is different: that repair can cost enough that a new system becomes the better spend, and it is worth knowing before you decide.

The estimate is free, so the call costs nothing but the minutes it takes.

Heat as well as cooling

Emergency HVAC Calls

A failed heating or cooling system of any kind is handled the same way, and furnace emergencies have their own page.

A furnace that will not light on a cold night, a heat pump stuck running on "auxiliary heat", or a rooftop unit that quits over a shop all start with the same call, the same callback and the same quote before any work.

Related Heating and Cooling Work

Related jobs each have their own page, and a new system is covered under AC installation.
