When the AC quits on a 95-degree afternoon in Tavares, it is not something that can wait until next week, especially with children, older family members or pets in the house. Lucas Air Conditioning and Heating handles urgent air conditioning repairs across Tavares and Lake County.
We are honest about how it works: Lucas Air is not a 24/7 company, but a technician is always on call after normal business hours. If you have an emergency, call (352) 805-0359 and we will do everything we can to take care of you.
Some problems can safely wait for the next available appointment. Others can't. Call us right away if:
- The system is not cooling at all and the house is heating up
- Someone in the home is elderly, very young, or has a medical condition affected by heat
- You smell burning or see smoke from the unit or vents
- Water is overflowing from the indoor unit or drain pan
- The outdoor unit is buzzing, humming or clicking but not running
Turn the system off at the thermostat if you smell burning, hear grinding, or see water overflowing. Check the breaker and the filter: a tripped breaker or a completely clogged filter is behind more no-cool calls than you'd think. Close blinds on the sunny side of the house and run ceiling fans to slow the heat build-up.
Don't keep resetting a breaker that trips again. That usually means a failed capacitor, motor or compressor, and running it can turn a repair into a compressor replacement.
Most AC repairs are finished in a single visit. The common causes of a sudden breakdown are failed capacitors and contactors, condenser fan motors, refrigerant leaks and clogged drain lines that trip the safety switch. During business hours a residential diagnostic is a flat $125 (commercial $135), and we have next-day availability on most jobs. We tell you what is wrong and what it costs before any repair starts.
Call (352) 805-0359. Office hours are 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday, with a technician on call after hours.
