Quick answer: Call for emergency HVAC service in Chandler when there is no cooling above about 100°F, no heat near freezing, water coming through a ceiling, a burning smell, or repeated breaker trips. If you smell gas, leave the house and call Southwest Gas or 911 from outside.
In Chandler, a dead air conditioner in July is a health issue, not just an inconvenience. The city’s average July high is 106°F and indoor temperatures in a closed house can climb fast. We take after-hours calls for no-cool and no-heat situations, and we prioritize homes with infants, older adults, people with medical conditions and pets.
What counts as an emergency
- No cooling when the outdoor temperature is above about 100°F.
- No heat on a night forecast near freezing (Chandler’s record low is 15°F).
- Water pouring from an attic air handler or through a ceiling.
- Burning smell, smoke or repeated breaker trips from HVAC equipment.
- A gas smell: leave the house first and call Southwest Gas or 911 from outside.
While you wait for a technician
- Turn the system off at the thermostat if it is running but blowing warm air. This can prevent a frozen coil from getting worse.
- Close blinds on south- and west-facing windows.
- Move people and pets to the lowest, shadiest room. In a two-story home that is usually downstairs.
- Use fans, drink water, and use cool, damp cloths.
- If anyone shows signs of heat illness (confusion, no sweating, fainting), call 911.
What we can usually fix on the spot
Most night calls are capacitors, contactors, fan motors, tripped float switches and frozen coils. Our trucks carry the common parts for the brands we see most in Chandler. If a compressor or coil has failed, we will make the home safe, explain your options in the morning and, where possible, set up temporary cooling.
Commercial emergencies
Restaurants, medical offices and server rooms get priority scheduling. See commercial HVAC service.
