Is Your AC Problem an Emergency?

Sometimes it’s difficult to know if an air conditioner issue requires immediate attention or if it can wait. In Palm Harbor’s climate, waiting can often lead to more extensive damage or create health risks. You should seek emergency service if you notice any of the following critical warning signs:

Complete System BreakdownThe most obvious sign is when your air conditioner refuses to turn on at all. If the thermostat is set correctly and the unit is unresponsive, it signals a significant failure that requires professional diagnosis.

Blowing Warm or Hot AirIf your AC is running but the air coming from the vents is warm, it indicates a serious problem. This could be due to a failed compressor, low refrigerant levels, or restricted airflow, none of which will resolve on their own.

Loud, Alarming NoisesYour AC unit should operate with a consistent, low hum. Sudden, loud noises are a clear cry for help.

  • Grinding or Squealing: Often points to a problem with the motor bearings.
  • Banging or Clanking: Could indicate a loose or broken part, such as a piston, connecting rod, or crankshaft inside the compressor.
  • Hissing: A hissing sound typically signifies a significant refrigerant leak.

Strange or Foul OdorsUnusual smells coming from your HVAC system should never be ignored. A burning or electrical smell can indicate an overheated motor or wiring issue, which is a serious fire hazard. A musty or moldy smell suggests moisture buildup in your system or ductwork, which can negatively impact your indoor air quality.

Visible Leaks or Moisture BuildupWhile some condensation is normal, active water leaks around your indoor unit can cause significant water damage to your home. If you see ice forming on the refrigerant lines or coils, it’s a sign of a critical issue like a refrigerant leak or severe airflow obstruction that can destroy your compressor.

Frequent Circuit Breaker TripsIf your air conditioner repeatedly trips the circuit breaker, it’s a sign that the system is drawing too much power. This points to an underlying electrical problem that needs immediate professional attention to prevent damage to your AC and your home’s electrical system.

Customer Reviews

We recently moved to Florida and needed major repairs to our church. After researching several companies, I went with Sunstate and I’m so thankful I did. Joe came out and provided us with the information necessary to make an informed decision and provided a reasonable estimate. We had a new unit installed, duct work repaired, and new thermostat installed. If you’re reading this review and wondering who to trust for your AC needs, please call Sunstate.

Great job replacing both the condensing unit and air-handler.  Moved the air-handler from the attic to the garage and re-designed and installed new duct work to accommodate the move.  Works great and no more worries about overflowing drain pan damaging the ceiling and wood floors.  Not to mention making it easier to maintain the AH unit.  The guys worked through the night to make sure the AC was back on before they left the job.   Thanks for a job well done.

Sunstate mechanical is truly the best contractors I have experienced since I moved into my house 30 years ago.  I have been dealing with Joe and his crew for over 11 years now. They are a trustworthy, respectful, experienced crew who works with you and gives you a fair value.  They just completed a big job replacing my A/C, gas furnance and condenser.  They did an excellent job, no short cuts, made sure everything was functional, and cleaned up the area nicely before they left.

Sunstate Mechanical are absolutely one of the best.  I have had two new units installed from them, and the work they did was spectacular.  The crew was prompt (even called ahead to confirm the appointment), incredibly professional, and they left the area around the air handler somehow cleaner than when they arrived.  I have had no issues with my units over the years because Sunstate Mechanical took the time to do it right the first time.
