Air conditioning (AC) and heating tend to go out at the worst possible time and when they are most needed. When your AC is working its hardest to keep off the summer heat is when it is most likely to go. The same is true of your furnace on the coldest nights. When this happens, your first priority is to keep your family safe from extreme temperatures.
Fortunately, it is also General Air’s first priority. We know that HVAC in South Carolina is a must and that some homes can be dangerous in summer heat or winter cold without your HVAC. We will get a technician out fast, so your worries are taken care of as soon as possible.

The Most Common HVAC Emergencies – We Handle Them!
General Air has been handling HVAC since 1959, so if you have an HVAC problem, we know how to solve it. From a cold furnace to leaking coolant, don’t hesitate to call. Here are some of the most common HVAC emergencies our teams can quickly resolve.
Furnace Not Producing Heat
The furnace is the central element of your heating system. When the thermostat is set to heat, it should push warm air through your vents. Heat should also be perceptible near the furnace unit in your utility space. If neither is true, call for immediate heating repairs before your house temperature drops too low.
Leaking Refrigerant
Refrigerants are one of the most dangerous substances allowed in a modern home. If your HVAC (or refrigerator) is leaking refrigerant, stay away and call emergency services. Let us know that there is a refrigerant leak, and we will come prepared to do the safe cleanup, plus repair and refill your AC system.
Electrical Problems
At any sign of electrical problems, turn off the furnace and call for HVAC services. Our emergency team will inspect the system carefully and ensure there is no risk. They will then replace any damaged wires or components.
Signs of electrical problems may sound like constant stop-starting, a unit that will not come on – or will not turn off, or a flickering thermostat.
Broken Thermostats
Thermostats can also be the problem, but without a replacement, there may be nothing to control your HVAC. A broken thermostat is an HVAC emergency repair we can easily take care of.
Frozen Coils
When dust builds up on AC coils, a strange problem occurs. The cold is trapped inside the dust, which creates a freeze-over. The build-up can look like the inside of an un-defrosted freezer. This build-up is also bad for your AC performance. If the inside of your AC is an ice box, call for emergency HVAC repairs.
A/C Not Working
Of course, sometimes it is impossible to tell what is wrong. If your AC is not working, you may need immediate repairs to ensure your home remains comfortable and safe. General Air will be there.
A/C Blowing Hot Air
Lastly, if your AC is blowing the entirely wrong temperature of the air – hot in the summer or cold in the winter – call for repairs. Something is wrong, but your thermostat doesn’t know it yet.
