35 Years of Expert Service in Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling

When your AC unit is on the fritz, especially amidst warm weather or extreme heat, call United Heating and Cooling. We provide fast and responsive emergency service to Kansas City homeowners.

When Is It Time for an Emergency AC Repair?

The right time to call for a repair service is when you notice these signs coming from your AC system:

No Cooling, Just Warm Air
Burning Smells and Visible Smoke Coming from Vents
Your Unit Is Leaking Water or Has Ice Buildup
Exceedingly High Indoor Temperatures
Tripped Breakers or Electrical Issues

If you notice these issues in your home or AC system, especially visible smoke coming from your vents, call an emergency AC repair technician immediately.

United Heating and Cooling has a fast-response local team that provides 24/7 emergency AC repair.

What to Do While Waiting for a United Technician

When you notice issues with your HVAC system, it's important to act fast. A few steps can ensure that you and your family stay safe while you wait for professional help to arrive. Here are some things you should do before we arrive:

Shut off your AC system
Move to a cooler area of your house
Use electrical fans
Stay hydrated
Check on elderly family members, infants, and pets
Do not reset a tripped breaker - call a professional service instead

Types of Air Conditioners We Can Fix

Our company trains every technician to service a range of cooling systems widely used in homes throughout the Kansas City area. We service air conditioners from major brands such as:

Lennox
Mitsubishi Electric
Resideo
And More

Among these brands are a variety of air conditioning systems that our team is also highly experienced in repairing and maintaining.

Here are the three key AC systems in your home that United can fix fast in the event of an emergency:

Packaged HVAC Units

These exterior units house both heating and cooling components. That’s why repairing packaged HVAC units is more complex than individual heating and cooling systems. Fortunately, United Heating and Cooling experts are prepared to provide immediate emergency HVAC services – regardless of the unit type.

Central AC Systems

Central air conditioners are split systems, with one indoor unit and another outdoor unit. This doesn’t necessarily mean our team will take twice as long to fix issues like a frozen evaporator coil or replacing failed electrical components. United technicians can easily identify the problem with your central AC and provide a solution as soon as possible.

Ductless Mini-Splits

Rarer than central systems and packaged AC units, ductless mini-splits are still well within our wheelhouse. Our team will check for error codes, individual blower issues, and drainage clogs or leaks in the lines between your indoor vent and exterior unit.

Emergency AC Repair FAQs

No. If you suspect anything is wrong, such as a burning odor coming from your system or liquid leaking from the unit itself, shut off your system.

For emergency cooling services, Kansas City residents can count on United Heating and Cooling for fast, responsive repairs.

Every brand and system type will have its own faults or points of failure. That may change the way we service them. However, what won't change is United Heating and Cooling's fast response when you call us for an emergency service.

No, our service is always 24/7, even under normal circumstances, and United doesn't engage in after-hours price gouging with our customers. Whether it's routine maintenance or an emergency repair, we provide the same honest, upfront pricing.

Costs may vary depending on the parts and time required to fix your system, but those are the only things that affect your total bill.
