When to call for emergency AC service
Call when you lose cooling in dangerous heat, see ice or spreading water, hear severe grinding, notice a burning smell, or have repeated breaker trips. Move people to a cooler place if the home is unsafe. Do not wait for a repair visit to address a medical emergency.
We serve central AC, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits. Tell us the symptoms and your location; we’ll discuss availability and the right visit.
A quick guide before the call

Select any symptoms that apply. You can call PRO at any point; you do not need to complete this guide first.
For the symptoms you selected
Move to a cooler, air-conditioned place if the home is unsafe. For heat-related confusion, slurred speech, seizures, or loss of consciousness, call 911.
Not sure which system you have? Describe what stopped working; leave equipment covers closed.
Your selections stay on this page. This guide does not diagnose a fault, determine whether a home is safe, send your note, or book a visit. Call 911 for immediate danger or a medical emergency.
The symptom is the starting point
We look for the cause before recommending the repair. Parts such as capacitors, contactors, motors, controls, and drains can be involved, but the symptoms alone do not tell the whole story.
A blower, control, airflow restriction, refrigeration problem, or electrical fault can affect cooling. Running equipment does not prove it is working correctly.
Describe the symptoms. Let testing identify the fault.Visible frost on accessible tubing calls for cooling to be switched off and assessed. An airflow or refrigeration fault may be involved; ice alone cannot identify the cause.
Do not chip ice, apply heat, or keep forcing cooling.Drainage problems, a safety shutoff, or meltwater can be part of the issue. Report where the water is, whether it is spreading, and any nearby electrical equipment.
Keep clear of water near electricity.The problem can be in the AC or the circuit supplying it. We review the electrical and HVAC scope together, then explain what the findings mean.

HVAC and electrical, together
A failed cooling cycle can start with the thermostat, the air path, the refrigeration equipment, or the circuit. We bring both trades into the assessment so you can understand the work being proposed.
One service conversation
The equipment.Tell us what changed. We’ll help turn the observations into a clear service plan, including any additional work or parts that may be needed.
While service is being arranged
If the home is too hot, move to an air-conditioned location. Close shades and reduce exertion while arranging help, but do not rely on a fan to make dangerous heat safe.
For ice, severe mechanical noise, or an active leak, stop cooling at a safely accessible normal thermostat. Leave a repeatedly tripped circuit off. Keep away from wet equipment or suspected electrical damage.

Know when medical help comes first
Infants, older adults, and people with health concerns can be especially vulnerable in extreme heat. Do not wait for an AC repair if someone may be seriously ill.
Headache, nausea, dizziness, weakness, or heavy sweating can signal heat illness. Move to a cooler place and seek medical guidance. Worsening symptoms need urgent attention.
If the person becomes confused, has a seizure, or loses consciousness, call 911 immediately.
Confusion, slurred speech, seizures, or loss of consciousness in the heat are emergency warning signs. Sweating does not rule it out.
Call 911, move the person to a cooler place if safe, cool them with wet cloths, and follow the dispatcher’s instructions. Do not give them anything to drink.

Know what comes next
Share the service address, loss of cooling, visible symptoms, and whether the home is becoming unsafe in the heat.
Discuss current availability, any diagnostic or after-hours charges, and the appropriate next step.
We explain the diagnosed issue, available repair options, and proposed scope and price for your approval.
Discuss operating checks, any parts or follow-up work still needed, and care for the repaired system.

Ask PRO: 703-225-8222Call 703-225-8222 for same-day availability. Our emergency line is answered seven days a week. Timing depends on your location, demand, the problem, and parts availability; a callback request does not confirm a visit.
Loss of cooling during dangerous heat, especially with someone vulnerable at home, warrants a prompt call. Repeated breaker trips, a burning smell, spreading water, visible ice, or severe grinding also need attention. Smoke, fire, or immediate danger requires leaving and calling 911.
Call 911 for fire, immediate danger, or suspected heat stroke. Heat-related confusion, slurred speech, seizures, or loss of consciousness are urgent warning signs. Move the person to a cooler place if safe, begin cooling, and follow the dispatcher’s instructions. Do not give a suspected heat-stroke casualty anything to drink.
Warm air can have several causes, including airflow, controls, refrigeration, or electrical problems. It does not identify a failed part or prove a leak. Tell us when cooling changed, whether all rooms are affected, and whether you see ice or water from a safe location.
Use the normal thermostat to turn cooling off if it is safe to reach, and arrange service. Leave equipment covers closed and do not chip ice or apply heat. Thawing does not correct the underlying fault, and meltwater can create another concern.
No. Leave the tripped circuit off and call for a diagnosis. Repeated resetting can keep energizing a fault. The cause may be in the AC equipment or the electrical supply. Do not remove a panel cover, change breaker size, or bypass protection.
Active leakage can damage the home and needs prompt attention. If safe, turn cooling off at the normal thermostat. Keep away from standing water near electricity and do not touch wet controls. Report where you see water and whether it is spreading.
Stop using the system. Use a safely accessible thermostat to switch it off only if you can do so without approaching danger. Do not open equipment or investigate at the panel. Leave and call 911 if there is smoke, fire, sparks, or immediate danger.
Move to an air-conditioned location if the home is too hot, especially for infants, older adults, or people with health concerns. Close shades and reduce exertion, but do not rely on a fan to make dangerous heat safe. Seek medical help for heat-illness symptoms.
We provide cooling services for central air conditioners, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits. Tell us the equipment type, model if already known, and any visible display code so we can discuss the appropriate service. Access, system condition, and parts affect the repair plan.
An AC problem can involve the equipment, controls, or the circuit supplying it. PRO Electric plus HVAC brings HVAC and electrical work into one service conversation under Virginia contractor license 2705181607. The findings determine the scope and whether additional work or parts are needed.
Call to confirm the diagnostic or visit charge, any after-hours fee, and current availability. Repair cost depends on the fault, parts, access, and approved work. Ask for the findings and proposed price before authorizing repairs; this page does not quote a fixed emergency price.
No. Age is one factor alongside condition, the diagnosed fault, repair history, available parts, and the repair and replacement proposals. We can explain the options after assessment. A loss of cooling alone is not enough to make that decision.
No service can guarantee that equipment will never fail. Regular maintenance can identify some developing problems and support reliable operation. After a repair, ask about the appropriate filter care, tune-up, and service agreement for your system.
No. The form sends a service request for follow-up; it does not confirm an appointment, arrival time, or dispatch. Call 703-225-8222 for an urgent cooling concern. For fire, immediate danger, or a medical emergency, call 911.
