What to Do While You Wait

A few simple steps protect your home and your equipment until a technician arrives.

  1. Burning smell or smoke?

    Turn the system off at the thermostat. If it smells electrical, switch off the breaker to the unit and leave it off.

  2. AC iced over?

    Turn cooling off but leave the fan running so the ice melts. It also gives us a cleaner diagnosis.

  3. No cooling in the heat?

    Close blinds on the sunny side, run ceiling fans and move to the lowest, coolest floor.

  4. No heat in the cold?

    Layer up, close off unused rooms and keep space heaters well away from anything that can burn.

  5. Water around the unit?

    Soak it up and set a pan under the leak so it doesn’t reach drywall or flooring.

  6. Check the simple things

    Thermostat mode and batteries, a clogged filter, or a breaker that tripped once. Don’t reset a breaker that keeps tripping.

How It Works in Fairmount

How Emergency Calls Work for Fairmount Homes

Our team answers during posted business hours (Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM–5:00 PM). After-hours availability depends on time, location and technician capacity. Call and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.

  • Calhoun, Rome and within about 20 minutes of either office Fairmount (Gordon County, the Rome area of Floyd County, parts of Bartow and Whitfield): your after-hours emergency has the best chance of a same-night response. Our techs live and work in this area and can roll out without an hour-plus drive.
  • Existing Anderson customers with a recent install or service call: we don't let our work fail on you overnight. We keep calling techs until we find one who can respond.
  • Life-safety situations anywhere we serve: no heat in freezing weather with kids or elderly family at home, a gas smell, or water flooding from a unit. We prioritize same-day or next-morning response.
  • Outlying areas, standard after-hours calls: your call is logged and you're on the schedule first thing the next business day, with a real arrival window.

What we won't do: tell you a tech is “on the way” at midnight when we can't actually guarantee that. We'd rather you know what to expect than be left waiting on a porch in the cold.

Local Team

Close to Home in Fairmount

Fairmount is southeast of our Calhoun shop. The technician who responds is one of our own, not a subcontractor routed in from out of state. Our crews live and work in Northwest Georgia and know how the region's humid summers and hard freezes wear on home comfort systems.

Our scheduling system shows 490 completed jobs for Fairmount customers as of August 13, 2026, 9 of them in the previous 90 days. These are job records with a Fairmount billing address, not unique customers, and our records start with our 2022 system move, not 1978.

We also run our own sheet metal shop, so when an emergency comes down to failed or undersized ductwork, we can fabricate the parts ourselves. For anything that isn't urgent, see HVAC Repair & Installation in Fairmount.

What Usually Fails

Common Emergency Failures, and Why Fast Diagnosis Matters

Most emergency calls trace back to a handful of culprits. A no-cool or no-heat call often comes down to a failed capacitor, a tripped float switch, a bad contactor or a refrigerant problem. A frozen evaporator coil usually means low airflow or low refrigerant, and running the system in that state can burn out the compressor, one of the most expensive parts in the system. A burning smell can be a seized blower motor or scorched wiring, and repeated breaker trips point to an electrical fault that shouldn't be reset over and over.

A small failure left running tends to cascade into a large one: a clogged condensate line floods a ceiling, and a coil that keeps freezing strains the compressor until it quits. Our technicians find the actual cause, not just the symptom, and you get the price before any work starts.
