FAQs
How quickly can you respond to an air-conditioning emergency in Kingston?
Our dispatch centre is based right in Kingston, so in most cases a certified technician can be at your door within 60–90 minutes of your call. When demand is unusually high (e.g., during heat waves), we triage calls by urgency and still aim to reach all customers the same day. You’ll receive a confirmation text with the technician’s name, photo, and live GPS tracking so you know exactly when help will arrive.
Are your technicians available 24/7, including weekends and holidays?
Yes. We maintain a rotating on-call team that covers evenings, weekends, and all statutory holidays. Our trucks are fully stocked after hours, allowing us to complete most repairs on the first visit no matter when you call. You’ll never be forwarded to an answering service—your call is answered by our own dispatchers who can immediately schedule a technician.
Which areas do you service around Kingston, and do the same fast response times apply?
In addition to Kingston proper, we offer the same rapid response in Amherstview, Gananoque, Bath, Napanee, Sydenham, and the surrounding rural townships. Because our technicians are strategically located throughout the region and supported by GPS-routed scheduling software, travel time is minimized no matter where you live within a 40-km radius of downtown Kingston.
Will quick-response service cost me extra?
During regular business hours (8 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday–Friday) there is no surcharge for rapid response. For calls outside these hours we apply a modest after-hours diagnostic fee that is quoted up front before you book. All repair pricing is flat-rate and shown to you for approval before any work begins—no hidden overtime charges or surprise add-ons.
What can I do while waiting for the technician to arrive?
1) Turn off your air conditioner at the thermostat to prevent further damage. 2) Check that the outdoor unit is clear of debris and that the furnace filter is clean—if airflow is blocked, replacing the filter may restore cooling. 3) Note any error codes on the thermostat or control board; these help the technician diagnose faster. 4) Make sure pets are secured and that there is a clear path to the equipment. 5) Gather any warranty paperwork or recent service records so we have a full history of the system.
Will a fast repair affect my manufacturer’s warranty?
No. All of our technicians are factory-trained and licensed by the TSSA (Technical Standards & Safety Authority). We use OEM or CSA-approved replacement parts and follow manufacturer specifications, so your existing warranty remains fully intact. If your unit is still under warranty, we’ll handle the parts claim on your behalf to save you the paperwork and ensure you pay only the labour portion, if applicable.
