When You Should Call Immediately
- Complete AC failure + interior temperature above 85°F. Every hour above 85°F accelerates mold growth on drywall and damages electronics.
- Electrical burning smell or visible smoke. Kill power at the breaker, call us + fire department if active.
- Water streaming from ceiling or indoor unit. Shut off AC, place a bucket, call — we stop the leak that hour.
- Ice visible on refrigerant lines or inside air handler. Turn AC off for 3 hours to thaw before we arrive. Prevents compressor damage.
- System short-cycling (on-off every 30 seconds). Short-cycling kills compressors. Shut off the system and call.
- Senior, infant, or medically fragile person in the home. Tell dispatch; we escalate to the top of the queue.
What to Do While You Wait
- Kill power to the AC at both the thermostat and the breaker — not just the thermostat.
- Close blinds on south- and west-facing windows. Radiant heat gain is massive in South Florida.
- Open windows on the shade side if outside is cooler than inside.
- Place fans in windows — hot air out on sunny side, cooler air in on shade side.
- Move medication, pets, infants to the coolest room and offer water.
- Photograph the outdoor unit’s model + serial number. Speeds up parts lookup if we need to order anything.

Frequently Asked Questions — Emergency HVAC in Boca Raton
Do you really answer the phone at 3 AM?
Yes. A human picks up. If lines are busy (rare), you hear a live callback promise with the order number — not a voicemail black hole. We treat 3 AM calls with the same urgency as 3 PM calls.
Is there a minimum charge for after-hours emergency service?
The after-hours trip fee ($89 evenings, $129 overnight) applies — but it’s applied toward the repair when you book. Maintenance plan members pay no trip fee at any hour. There’s no hidden “minimum service hour” — you only pay for the time and parts.
How fast can you actually arrive in Boca Raton at 1 AM?
Overnight, our response window is 2-4 hours depending on demand and distance from our Boca Raton dispatch. During active weather events (heat waves, storms) expect the upper end. We always give you a realistic ETA on the call.
What if the problem can wait until morning?
We’ll give you honest advice on the call. If it’s a non-urgent issue (thermostat glitch, minor water leak you can contain), we’ll book same-day instead of dispatching at 2 AM — saves you the after-hours fee. We don’t push emergency dispatch on non-emergencies.
Do you charge more for holidays or weekends in Boca Raton?
No extra weekend charge during business hours. Holiday premium is typically 1.5× the business-hour rate. Maintenance plan members pay standard rates even on holidays.
