We will get to you as fast as we can. While you wait, this part matters more than the air conditioning does.
These are heat stroke signs and it is a medical emergency, not an air conditioning problem. Call 911, move the person somewhere cooler, and start cooling them while you wait for help.
That pattern points to heat exhaustion. Get out of the heat, sip water, and cool the skin with a damp cloth and moving air. If it is not improving within the hour, or it gets worse at any point, treat it as an emergency.
Get somewhere air conditioned if you can, a neighbor, a library, a public cooling center, then book emergency service. Older adults, young children, and anyone with a chronic condition are affected faster than a healthy adult.

One of the most common summer calls has a free first step, and the instinct almost everybody has, turn the thermostat down and let it run, is the thing that turns a cheap fix into an expensive one.
Two copper lines run between the indoor and outdoor halves of the system. The thicker one is normally wrapped in black foam and feels cool. If you can see frost or a sleeve of ice on it, or on the pipework at the indoor coil, the system has frozen up. That is why it is running and running without cooling.
Set the thermostat to OFF for cooling and set the fan to ON. Moving air over the coil thaws it, usually over a few hours. While you wait, change the air filter and open any vents or return grilles that have been closed off, because restricted airflow is the most common reason a coil ices up.
Do not keep running it, and do not turn the thermostat lower. Running the compressor against a frozen coil is what risks the expensive damage, and setting a colder temperature makes the freezing worse rather than better. If it ices up again after a full thaw and a fresh filter, that usually points to low refrigerant, which means a leak somewhere, and that is a job for a technician rather than another thaw.
If none of that is it. A system that runs but never gets there can also be a failing compressor, a dirty condenser coil outside, or a thermostat fault. Any of those needs somebody to look at it. Our AC repair page covers what happens on a call, and the repair or replace tool is there if the unit is getting on in years.
These heat as well as cool, so they cover both seasons on one system.

See the AC Tune Up OfferYour air conditioner is an electrical system. We are licensed for the breaker, the disconnect, and the wiring as well as the refrigerant side, so there is no second contractor to book and nobody to blame each other.
You get the fault, the options, and what each one involves before anything is agreed. If you would rather think it through on your own first, our decision tool is free and there is nothing to sign up for.
A replacement is sized for your house rather than swapped like for like. An oversized unit cools the air fast, shuts off before it has pulled the moisture out, and leaves the house cold and clammy.

If your unit is over 12 to 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or your energy bills keep climbing, replacement often makes more sense. For newer systems, a repair is usually the smart call. We give you an honest assessment either way, and our decision tool can help.
Common causes include low refrigerant, a dirty coil, a failing compressor, or a thermostat issue. Another common one is a frozen coil, which is worth checking yourself before you call, using the steps further up this page. Our technicians quickly diagnose the cause and explain your options before any work begins.
At least once a year, ideally in spring before cooling season. Regular maintenance keeps your system efficient and helps prevent breakdowns when you need cooling most.
Uneven cooling can come from airflow issues, duct problems, or an aging or undersized system. We can evaluate the cause and recommend the right fix, from a repair to zoning solutions like mini splits.
