Oh No! What Should I Do When My AC is Broken?
May 3, 2022


Dealing with a broken air conditioner in the middle of summer is a bummer, but there are plenty of ways for you to go about repairing it. Not only are there tons of HVAC contractors out there ready to assist you, but there are also plenty of ones that will focus on more than just repairing your unit.


We’re always trying to help out clients in every way possible, so it only feels right to talk about a few things you can do before calling us for your HVAC repair needs. Regardless of what
HVAC system your property sports, we’ll be able to fix it up without any struggle. 


Leave the System Alone


If you aren’t a certified contractor, odds are that you don’t have the experience required to repair an HVAC system yourself. Heat Mechanical Cooling & Heating has seen it all when it comes to AC issues, and that’s why people continuously count on us to keep them cool in the summer!


We understand that you want to feel like you’ve fixed it yourself, but it takes a lot of skill and experience to properly repair an HVAC unit. Although they may make it look simple on television and in movies, we can assure you that leaving it alone is always going to be your best option. 


Stay Cool and Keep Hydrated


The toughest part about having a broken AC unit is the fact that you’ll have to suffer in a hot home until it has been addressed. Texas is not a place that you want to be without air conditioning, and that can be said all year around. If you want to know that you’ll always be cool and comfortable, calling us for professional help is your best bet. Otherwise, don’t do anything physical, drink plenty of water, and stick to the shade!


Explore Your Options


There are dozens of different things you can do when your air conditioner has broken on an incredibly hot day, but your main focus should be staying cool. This can come in the form of a visit to the local community pool, or even just spending some time at a lake or creek.


If you’re bent on fixing your AC unit, calling a company like Heat Mechanical Cooling & Heating will always serve you well. Not only will we head out to your property as quickly as possible, but we’ll work effortlessly to ensure that you’re relaxing in a cold home quicker than any other service in town. 


Prevent This From Happening in the Future!


The key to having a reliable HVAC system is maintaining it throughout the year. Annual visits from a professional are always ideal, but going above and beyond with semi-annual visits will also serve you well. When you don’t have to worry about your system breaking down entirely every year, it’s a breath of fresh air (both figuratively and literally!).


Places like Waxahachie and Ellis County are not meant to be enjoyed without air conditioning, and anybody who lives there will echo that statement. We want to be cool and calm while watching Sunday night football, not sweating through our shirts!
