What counts as an emergency AC fix for homeowners?

An emergency AC fix is repair service you need right away when a cooling problem threatens safety, risks property damage, or causes major comfort loss during extreme weather. The most common triggers are sudden system failures that can worsen with continued operation, especially when vulnerable occupants are in the home.

Wilbur’s Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency response from EPA- and NATE-certified technicians. Our team handles these urgent calls around Hoover and the greater Birmingham area every day, and continuing to run a screeching or grinding unit can turn a small part issue into major damage.

Call for emergency help if you notice any of the following:

• Water or refrigerant leaks
• Loud banging, screeching, or grinding
• Warm air blowing when cooling is on
• Poor indoor air quality from the system

If any of these occur, switch the system off to limit damage and schedule a technician immediately.
