AC Repair in Osage Beach, MO
When the air out of the vents is warm and it's 96 degrees outside, you don't need an appointment three days from now. 24 Hour Heating and Cooling repairs air conditioners across Osage Beach, the Lake of the Ozarks and Jefferson City, same day where we can reach you and after hours when it won't wait.
Call (573) 693-8863What 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.
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.
Restricted airflow or low refrigerant. Shut it off and let it thaw. It'll keep freezing until the real cause is fixed.
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.
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.
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.
Could be the thermostat, a blown fuse or a failed contactor, all inexpensive. Could also be the compressor, which is not.
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.
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.

The AC repair questions we hear most
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.
Estimates on a replacement system are always free. For diagnostic service calls, ask when you call and you'll get the number up front.
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.
All major brands, plus ductless mini split systems. If it cools a house in Missouri, we've worked on it.
Yes, and holidays. It's why the company is called 24 Hour Heating and Cooling.
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.
