The Always On Emergency Restoration Process
A disciplined, 6-step engineering workflow designed to stabilize your home environment and protect your equipment.
Problem Solving
Emergency Spotlight: The 'Sunday Scorch' in Nocatee
During a graduation party with 25 guests, the AC cut out. We arrived in 45 minutes, brought the thermal-overloaded compressor back to safe temps, and installed a USA-made 440V high-temp capacitor. The home returned to 72°F before dinner was served.
Emergency Failure Types
Common critical failures we fix on the first visit.
Capacitor Blowouts
The ‘battery’ of your unit pops during heatwaves. We replace with heavy-duty parts rated for Florida’s 140°F cabinet temps.
The 'Slime' Lockout
90% humidity creates algae clogs. We use high-pressure CO2 to blow out clogs and treat with industrial antimicrobials.
Coastal Electrical Shorts
Salt air pits and welds contactors shut. We use specialized corrosion-resistant components to stop the ‘burnt wire’ smell.
Frozen Coils
Often caused by low refrigerant or dirt. We thaw, leak-test, and top-off to prevent compressor ‘slugging’.

Emergency Survival Advice
“What to do while you wait for our technician.”
The ‘Turn It Off’ Rule: If the system is humming but not cooling, turn it off at the breaker to save your compressor.
Manage Humidity: Keep blinds closed and avoid using the stove or taking hot showers to prevent ‘sauna’ conditions.
The Ice Warning: If you see ice, set your fan to ‘ON’ (not Cool) for 3-4 hours so we can work on it when we arrive.
Check the Switch: Check your drain pan; if it’s full of water, your safety float switch is doing its job to prevent a flood.

QUESTIONS?
“Everything you need to know about keeping your home comfortable.”
How long can my home stay safe without AC?
In 90% humidity, indoor heat index levels can become dangerous for pets and the elderly in as little as 3 to 4 hours.
Why did my AC break on the hottest day of the year?
Physics. Heat pushes weak components like capacitors past their thermal limits—internal cabinet temps can hit 140°F in July.
Can I jump-start my outdoor fan with a stick?
No. This bypasses a safety failure and creates an extreme electrical load that can permanently seize your motor or cause a fire.
Is emergency service more expensive at night?
At Always On Air, we use transparent flat-rate pricing. You’ll know the cost of the repair before we start, even at midnight.
My AC is blowing air, but it's not cold. Is that an emergency?
Yes. It usually indicates a refrigerant leak or compressor failure. Turn it off to prevent the system from freezing into a block of ice.
