No cooling in August. No heat in January. Call us.
We take emergency HVAC calls in Richardson around the clock — nights, weekends and holidays included. Somebody answers the phone, and you get a realistic arrival window rather than an optimistic one.
If you’re calling at 2am with a house full of people and no cooling, the useful thing we can do is show up and be straight with you about when. That’s what this page is.
Emergency Coverage Area
24/7 emergency response across Richardson and the surrounding area:
Emergency response times run longer for the outer cities, and we’ll tell you what to expect when you call rather than after you’ve waited.
When to call us at 3am, and when it can wait
Call now — this is an emergency
- No cooling when it’s over 90°F, especially with infants, elderly residents, or anyone with a health condition in the house
- No heat when it’s near or below freezing — a hard freeze can burst pipes, which turns an HVAC problem into a plumbing catastrophe
- Burning smell, smoke, or an electrical smell from any part of the system — shut it off at the breaker and call
- A gas smell near the furnace — leave the house first, call the gas company, then call us
- Carbon monoxide alarm sounding — everyone outside, call 911, then us
- Water actively pouring from the indoor unit into the ceiling or walls
This can wait for a normal appointment
- Weak airflow, uneven cooling, or one room that never gets comfortable
- Higher-than-usual energy bills
- A noise you’ve been hearing for a few weeks
- A system that’s cooling, just not as well as it used to
Calling those in during business hours gets you a lower rate and a technician who isn’t already on a third overnight call. We’ll say so on the phone if we think your situation can wait.
Before we arrive
If the refrigerant lines are iced over
Switch the system off at the thermostat but leave the fan running. That thaws the coil and prevents compressor damage. Running an iced system is how a cheap repair becomes an expensive one.
If you smell burning or anything electrical
Shut the system off at the breaker, not just the thermostat.
If you smell gas
Get everyone out of the house. Don’t touch switches. Call the gas company from outside. Then call us.
If a CO alarm is sounding
Everyone outside, call 911. Don’t go back in to investigate.
No cooling, nothing dramatic
Close blinds on the sun-facing side, run ceiling fans, and stay on the lowest floor. If it’s dangerously hot and you have somewhere cooler to be, go there — we can meet you at the house.
No heat in a freeze
Open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls and let taps drip. That’s a plumbing precaution, and it’s worth doing before the house cools down.
What emergency service costs
After-hours diagnostic: $149 flat — credited to your repair, same as our standard call. Nights, weekends and holidays.
Standard-hours diagnostic: $89 flat, Mon–Sat 7am–8pm.
Repairs themselves are priced from the same schedule regardless of the hour — the emergency premium is in the diagnostic, not marked into every part. You get the repair price before work starts, at 3am the same as at 3pm.
| Repair | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Capacitor | $150 – $350 |
| Contactor | $175 – $400 |
| Condenser fan motor | $400 – $750 |
| Blower motor | $450 – $900 |
| Furnace igniter or flame sensor | $200 – $500 |
| Refrigerant leak repair + recharge | $500 – $1,500 |
These are ranges, not quotes. Your actual price depends on your system, the part, and what the diagnosis finds — and it is confirmed with you before any work begins.
One honest note: some emergency calls end with a temporary fix and a proper repair scheduled for daylight, because the right part isn’t on the van at 2am. We’ll tell you that’s the plan rather than pretending otherwise.
Why call us at 2am
A person answers
Not a voicemail box promising a callback in the morning.
Realistic arrival windows
We tell you when we’ll actually be there. An optimistic window doesn’t make anyone cooler.
Same pricing discipline, any hour
Price agreed before work starts, whatever time it is. Emergencies are exactly when that matters most.
We won’t sell you a system at midnight
Nobody should make a five-figure decision at 2am. If your system is finished, we’ll get you through the night and tell you in daylight.
No cooling? No heat? Call now.
24/7 across Richardson and North Dallas.
