Symptom finder

What is your AC doing?

Find what yours is doing below. It won't tell you the exact fault, nothing can without testing the system, but it will tell you whether to call now or wait until tomorrow.

Call soon
Blowing warm air

Usually low refrigerant from a leak, a failed compressor, or a condenser unit that isn't running at all. Topping off refrigerant without finding the leak just buys a few weeks.

Call soon
Iced over

Restricted airflow or low refrigerant. Shut it off and let it thaw. It'll keep freezing until the real cause is fixed.

Call now
Tripping the breaker

Stop resetting it. A compressor drawing too much current is a fire risk, and every reset puts the whole circuit through it again. Leave it off and call.

Call soon
Running constantly, never cooling

Often a failing capacitor, a system undersized for the space, or duct runs leaking conditioned air into an attic or crawlspace before it reaches the room.

Call now
Water around the indoor unit

Almost always a clogged condensate drain. Cheap to clear today. Expensive once it's been running into drywall, subfloor or a finished basement ceiling for a week.

Call soon
Dead, no response at all

Could be the thermostat, a blown fuse or a failed contactor, all inexpensive. Could also be the compressor, which is not.

Summer in Mid-Missouri

Everything fails on the same weekend

Air conditioners don't quit gradually. They quit on the first stretch of 95 degree days, which is the exact weekend every rental is full and every phone in the county is ringing.

That's the week 24 Hour Heating and Cooling is built for. It's also the week you least want to find out your system has had a slow refrigerant leak since March.

An honest answer on whether it's worth fixing

This is the question everybody wants answered, and it's the one most companies dodge. Here's roughly how we look at it standing in front of your system.

Under 10 years
Almost always worth repairing. The system has plenty of life left and most faults at this age are components, not the compressor.
10 to 15 years
Depends entirely on the repair. A capacitor or contactor, fix it. A compressor or a major leak, we'll show you both numbers and let you decide.
Over 15 years
If it still runs R-22 refrigerant and the compressor is going, you're putting real money into something likely to fail again next season. Usually replacement time.

Whatever the age, you get the repair number and the replacement number before anything gets done. Nobody at 24 Hour Heating and Cooling works on commission, so there's no reason for us to push you toward the bigger invoice.

Systems fail on the first 95 degree day, and that's when everyone calls at once. A spring tune up catches most of it early.
Questions we get

The AC repair questions we hear most

How fast can you get out here?

Most calls in Osage Beach, Lake Ozark, Camdenton and the surrounding Lake area are same day. No cooling at all in serious heat gets moved ahead of routine work. If we can't reach you until the next morning, you'll hear that on the phone rather than sit and wonder.

Do you charge to come out and diagnose it?

Estimates on a replacement system are always free. For diagnostic service calls, ask when you call and you'll get the number up front.

What does AC repair usually cost?

It depends entirely on the fault. A capacitor or contactor is one of the least expensive repairs in the trade. A compressor or a refrigerant leak repair is one of the most expensive. That's why we diagnose before quoting, instead of giving you a number over the phone that changes once we arrive.

What brands do you work on?

All major brands, plus ductless mini split systems. If it cools a house in Missouri, we've worked on it.

Do you work nights and weekends?

Yes, and holidays. It's why the company is called 24 Hour Heating and Cooling.

My AC keeps freezing up. Can I just change the filter?

Change it, absolutely, a clogged filter is a common cause. But if it freezes again on a fresh filter, something else is restricting airflow or the system is low on refrigerant. Running it frozen puts the compressor at risk.
