What happens when you call

No call center, no script, no waiting until morning. Here is exactly how an emergency call goes from the moment you dial.

A real person picks up

Day or night, you reach Joseph or Jean, the owners — not a dispatcher reading a script. We listen, ask a few questions, and tell you straight whether it is an emergency.

We give you an honest arrival time

We answer in a couple of minutes and tell you when we can be there. Same-day, usually within a couple of hours. If it will be longer, we say so.

Your technician texts on the way

You get a text when your technician is headed over, so you are not stuck watching the driveway. The same trained team that handles every Big Air call.

The price is written down first

We diagnose the real problem, show you the photos and readings, and write the price down for your approval before any work starts — even at 2 AM.

Why AC Emergencies in Fort Myers Can't Wait

Fort Myers summer temperatures regularly exceed 95°F with humidity above 80%. Without air conditioning, indoor temperatures in a closed home can reach dangerous levels within hours — particularly for elderly residents, young children, and pets. The National Weather Service considers sustained indoor temperatures above 90°F a health risk.

Beyond comfort, a broken AC system in Fort Myers means your home loses its primary dehumidification. Indoor humidity rises quickly in Southwest Florida's climate, which can lead to condensation on surfaces and uncomfortable living conditions. Water leaks from a failed drain line or frozen coil should also be addressed promptly to prevent property damage.

Big Air treats every emergency call with care because we understand what is at stake in Southwest Florida's climate. We do not make you wait until morning. We do not route you to a call center. When you call (239) 738-1344, you reach a real person — the owner.

Emergency AC Repair Pricing — No Surprises

We tell you the cost plainly before we head out. An emergency is never an excuse to raise the price on you.

During Business Hours
(Mon-Fri 7 AM - 7 PM)
$99
Service call + full diagnostic
After Hours / Weekend
(7 PM - 7 AM & all Sat / Sun)
$199
$99 + $100 after-hours fee

These fees cover the technician's visit and a complete system diagnostic. The repair itself is priced separately after diagnosis, written down, and approved by you before we start — even on emergency calls. No one should feel pressured to approve a repair in a crisis without understanding what they are paying for.

AC Emergencies We Handle in Fort Myers

Complete System Failure

AC won't turn on at all. Could be electrical (breaker, contactor, capacitor), thermostat, or compressor failure. We diagnose the exact cause on-site.

AC Blowing Hot Air

System runs but only blows warm or room-temperature air. Often a refrigerant leak, compressor issue, or reversing valve problem on a heat pump.

Water Flooding from Indoor Unit

Clogged drain line, cracked drain pan, or frozen coil melting. This is both a comfort emergency and a property damage risk. Needs immediate attention.

Burning Smell or Electrical Odor

This is a safety emergency. Turn off the system right away. Could be an overheating motor, melting wires, or failing electrical components. Call us before turning the system back on.

Loud Grinding or Screeching Sounds

Metal-on-metal sounds indicate a mechanical failure in progress. A failing fan motor bearing, loose fan blade, or compressor issue. Running the system will make it worse.

AC Freezing Up / Ice on Unit

Ice forming on the indoor or outdoor unit indicates restricted airflow or refrigerant issues. Running a frozen system can destroy the compressor — the most expensive component.

The repair cost itself depends on the issue. We never raise our prices because it is late or because you are in a bind — the price is the price, we write it down, and you approve it before we start.

What should I do while waiting for emergency AC repair?

Turn off the AC system at the thermostat to prevent further damage. Open windows if outdoor temps allow. Use fans to circulate air. If you suspect a refrigerant leak (hissing sound, ice on the unit), turn the system off immediately and keep pets and children away. Check your breaker panel — a tripped breaker is an easy fix you can try yourself.

What qualifies as an AC emergency?
