Is Your AC Problem an Emergency?

It can be difficult to know if your air conditioner issue requires an immediate call or if it can wait. If you are experiencing any of the following signs, your situation likely qualifies as an emergency, and you should seek professional help without delay.

  • Complete System Failure: Your air conditioner will not turn on at all, leaving you with no airflow and rising indoor temperatures. In extreme heat, this poses a significant risk to health and well-being.
  • AC Blowing Warm or Hot Air: If your system is running but pushing warm air through the vents, it is not cooling your home. This indicates a serious problem, such as a refrigerant leak or a failed compressor.
  • Loud, Alarming Noises: While normal AC operation produces a low hum, sudden and loud grinding, banging, screeching, or squealing sounds are not normal. These noises often signal a critical mechanical failure that can cause extensive damage if not addressed immediately.
  • Burning Smells or Electrical Odors: Any smell of burning plastic, wiring, or a strong electrical odor coming from your vents or the unit itself is a serious fire hazard. Turn off your system at the circuit breaker immediately and call for emergency service.
  • Significant Water Leaks: While some condensation is normal, a large puddle of water forming around your indoor unit indicates a major clog in the condensate drain line or a frozen evaporator coil. This can lead to severe water damage, mold growth, and electrical hazards.
  • Frozen Coils or Ice Buildup: Finding ice on your indoor or outdoor unit's copper lines or coils is a clear sign of a problem with airflow or refrigerant levels. Continuing to run the system in this condition can destroy the compressor.
  • Frequent Circuit Breaker Tripping: If your AC system repeatedly trips the circuit breaker, it points to a dangerous electrical problem within the unit that requires professional diagnosis.

Our Comprehensive Emergency Repair Solutions

Our highly trained technicians arrive in fully stocked service vehicles, equipped with the tools and parts needed to diagnose and resolve a wide range of common AC emergencies on the first visit. We are proficient in handling all makes and models, ensuring we can restore your system to proper working order.

Compressor Failure

The compressor is the heart of your air conditioning system. If it fails, your AC cannot cool your home. Our technicians can accurately diagnose compressor issues, from electrical faults to mechanical seizure, and determine the most effective path forward to restore your cooling.

Refrigerant Leaks

Low refrigerant doesn't just hinder cooling performance; it can also damage your compressor. A leak is an environmental and mechanical issue that needs to be located and repaired by a licensed professional. We have the specialized equipment to find leaks, repair them, and safely recharge your system to factory specifications.

Electrical System Malfunctions

From faulty capacitors that prevent your AC from starting to failed contactors and wiring issues, electrical problems are a common source of emergency calls. Our experts safely navigate these complex systems to replace failed components and ensure your unit operates safely.

Blower Motor and Fan Issues

If the fan on your outdoor unit isn't spinning or the blower motor in your indoor unit has failed, air cannot circulate properly. This can cause the system to overheat or freeze up. We can repair or replace malfunctioning motors and fans to restore essential airflow.

Frozen Evaporator Coils

Ice buildup is a symptom of an underlying issue, typically restricted airflow from a dirty filter or a refrigerant leak. We will safely thaw the unit, identify the root cause, and perform the necessary repairs to prevent it from happening again.

Clogged Condensate Drains

In Florida’s humid climate, your AC removes a lot of moisture from the air. A clogged drain line can cause this water to back up, leading to water damage and shutting down your system. We can quickly clear the blockage and implement solutions to prevent future clogs.

The Sunstate Mechanical Emergency Service Process

We’ve streamlined our emergency response to eliminate stress and get your comfort back as quickly as possible.

  1. Your Urgent Call: When you contact us, our team immediately gathers your information and listens to your description of the problem.
  2. Rapid Dispatch: We dispatch a qualified, local technician to your Thonotosassa property without delay.
  3. Thorough Diagnosis: Upon arrival, our technician will perform a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to pinpoint the exact cause of the failure.
  4. Clear Explanation: Before any work begins, we will explain the problem to you in clear, understandable terms and provide a complete overview of the necessary repairs.
  5. Efficient Repair: With your approval, our technician will execute the repair using high-quality parts and industry-leading techniques to ensure a lasting solution.
  6. System Verification: After the repair, we test your system to confirm it is operating correctly, efficiently, and safely, fully restoring cool air to your home.

What You Can Do While Waiting for Help

While you wait for our technician to arrive, there are a few safe steps you can take:

  • Check Your Thermostat: Ensure it is set to "cool" and the temperature is set several degrees below the current room temperature.
  • Inspect Your Air Filter: A severely clogged air filter can restrict airflow and cause the system to freeze up or shut down.
  • Check the Circuit Breaker: Look for a tripped breaker in your home's electrical panel. If it's tripped, you can try resetting it once. If it trips again, leave it off and wait for professional help.
  • Clear the Outdoor Unit: Make sure there are no leaves, branches, or other debris blocking airflow around your outdoor condenser unit.
  • Turn the System Off: If you hear loud grinding noises or smell something burning, turn the entire system off at the thermostat and the circuit breaker to prevent further damage.

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.
Cory C.
Sunstate Mechanical Contractors is by far a rare gem in Tampa Bay area when it comes to delivery the best service!  They are very responsive very affordable. I have referred them to numerous friends and family who have experienced the same level of service as I have in the past! They only have good things to say about Joe the owner and his team! They also offer a great maintenance plan to keep things running in top shape! Thank you Sunstate! Keep up the great work!
