Is It an AC Emergency?
Knowing if your air conditioning problems are considered an emergency can be hard. If your system is exhibiting any of the following signs or symptoms, call us for emergency repairs:
- Complete system failure in extreme temperatures: If your air conditioner shuts down completely during extremely hot weather, it could be an emergency, risking heat-related health issues. This problem requires immediate attention to restore comfort and safety.
- Strange smells or smoke: Unusual odors or smoke emanating from your AC unit suggest a potential electrical or mechanical problem. Addressing this promptly is crucial to prevent further damage and potential fire hazards.
- Loud or unusual noises: Grinding, screeching, or banging sounds from your AC system may indicate serious issues with internal components. Ignoring these noises could lead to a complete breakdown, making it an emergency that needs urgent assessment and repair.
- Refrigerant leaks: If you notice refrigerant leaking from your AC unit, treating it as an emergency is essential. Inhaling or coming into contact with refrigerant can be harmful, and low refrigerant levels can compromise the system’s performance.
- Tripped circuit breaker: If the circuit breaker connected to your AC unit repeatedly trips, it indicates an electrical problem that requires immediate attention to prevent electrical fires or further damage to the system.
Systems We Repair
At Nerthling’s, we work with a broad range of cooling systems to ensure we can help you during an emergency. Our AC professionals can repair any of the following:
- Central AC: Traditional AC units may develop refrigerant leaks over time, leading to decreased cooling efficiency and environmental issues.
- Ductless systems: Clogged condenser coils or faulty thermostats are common culprits for ductless mini-split issues.
- Packaged units: Damaged or leaky ductwork in packaged units can lead to air loss and difficulty maintaining desired indoor temperatures.
- Heat pumps: Heat pumps in cold climates may face difficulties with the defrost cycle, leading to reduced efficiency and icing on the outdoor unit.

When To Repair vs. Replace Your AC
It can be tough to tell whether or not repairs are worth it for your AC system. A simple equation can offer some guidance before you talk to an HVAC professional. If you multiply the system’s age by the repair cost, the total should be under $5,000 to consider repairs.
If it’s higher than that, replacement may be more cost-effective. However, this is just a general rule. You should have a professional check out your unit before making any decisions.

FAQs
Why is my air conditioning so loud?
An AC unit that’s suddenly much louder than usual indicates a failing motor or compressor issue.
Why is hot air blowing from my vents with the AC on?
