FAQs About Emergency Cooling

What Counts as an AC Emergency Versus a Regular Repair?

An emergency is any situation that threatens your health, safety, or property. This includes:

• A total loss of cooling during extreme heat, which is a health risk.
• Water actively leaking from the system, which can cause property damage.
• Loud grinding, squealing, or buzzing sounds. These often mean a severe mechanical or electrical failure is imminent. If you hear these, shut down your system immediately and call us.

Do You Offer Emergency Services After Hours?

Yes, we provide emergency assistance outside of standard business hours to address urgent cooling issues.

How Fast Can a Smith's Plumbing, Heating & Air Technician Get to My Home?

When you call our 24/7 line, our dispatcher will assess your situation and our current dispatch board. We will give you a realistic arrival window for your technician. We prioritize emergency calls and work to get a technician to you promptly.

My AC Is Frozen. What Should I Do Right Now?

If you see ice on your unit, it is a sign of a critical issue, usually a refrigerant leak or a severe airflow problem.

1. Go to your thermostat and set the COOL function to OFF.
2. Set the FAN function to ON. This will help the ice melt by circulating air.
3. Call (901) 290-1110 to schedule emergency AC repair. Do not attempt to break or chip the ice off, as this can damage the unit. A technician must diagnose the root cause after the unit is thawed.

Do You Charge Extra for After-Hours or Weekend Calls?

We have a standard diagnostic fee for a technician to come to your home. This fee is different for an after-hours emergency dispatch versus a service call scheduled during regular business hours. We will confirm this fee with you over the phone. However, the price for the repair itself is the same. We use a standard, flat-rate pricing book, day or night. You will always approve the total cost before we start work.
