Acting quickly ensures your comfort, safety, and peace of mind when the Colorado heat won’t let up. Contact Falling Star Heating and Cooling to get expert care to restore the quality of your space immediately.

Central Air Conditioning

A central air conditioning system unit provides cooling throughout your home by connecting to your ductwork to keep your home comfortable. This is a powerful, efficient, and long-lasting air conditioner system that does the job right.

Ductless Mini-Splits

Ductless mini-split air conditioners (or mini-splits) provide room-specific cooling, allowing you to create zone-based HVAC support that is more cost-efficient. It’s like having an air conditioner in every room of your home or office where comfort is more personalized. 

Heat Pumps

Don’t let the name confuse you: heat pumps can also cool homes. They provide your home or business with numerous air conditioning benefits and an energy-efficient design. We can show you how heat pumps work and what cost-effective solutions are available to you. 

Evaporative Coolers

Evaporative Coolers (or swamp coolers) are a Colorado Springs favorite. Not only are they cheaper than a central AC system, but they use less energy as they rely on water-saturated pads to cool outside air. It’s another way to have affordable air conditioner  you’ll love.

Frequently Asked Questions: Emergency AC Repairs, Answered By Our Expert HVAC Technicians

How fast can a technician arrive for emergency AC repairs?

Most emergency AC repair technicians can arrive the same day—and in many cases within just a few hours of your call. At Falling Star Heating & Cooling, we prioritize rapid-response emergency AC repair to restore cooling as quickly and safely as possible. During heat waves or high-temperature days, our dispatch team works with urgency to prevent discomfort, heat-related health risks, or system damage.

An AC problem becomes an emergency when it threatens your comfort, safety, or the integrity of your cooling system. Common emergency AC repair situations include:

  • Your AC stops cooling entirely during hot weather
  • The system is blowing warm or hot air
  • Refrigerant leaks (including frozen coils or hissing sounds)
  • Electrical burning smells or smoke
  • AC won’t turn on or trips the breaker repeatedly
  • The outdoor unit is making loud, unusual noises
  • Water leaking heavily from the unit

If you suspect a refrigerant leak or electrical hazard, shut the system off and call a professional immediately.

Yes—there are a few quick steps you can take before scheduling a service call:

  • Confirm the thermostat is set to “Cool” and the temperature is set lower than the room temperature
  • Check for a tripped breaker
  • Replace or clean the air filter
  • Ensure vents are open and unobstructed
  • Make sure the outdoor unit is free of debris

If these steps don’t resolve the problem—or if you smell burning, see ice buildup, or notice leaks—turn the system off and call an HVAC professional immediately.

Costs for emergency AC repair vary depending on the severity of the issue, the parts required, and whether the call occurs after business hours. Emergency or after-hours service typically includes additional fees because technicians must prioritize your call outside regular scheduling. Falling Star Heating & Cooling offers transparent, upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

If your air conditioner is beyond repair—common with aging, inefficient, or heavily damaged systems—your technician will explain your options and help you choose a high-efficiency replacement that fits your home and budget. Our team can provide same-day or next-day AC replacement whenever possible to minimize downtime and restore comfort quickly. We also offer financing options to make unexpected replacements more manageable.

In many cases, yes. Running a malfunctioning AC unit can lead to:

  • Electrical fires
  • Refrigerant exposure
  • Further damage to the compressor
  • Frozen coils
  • Water damage inside the home

If your system is making loud noises, tripping the breaker, or leaking refrigerant, turn it off and seek emergency air conditioning repair right away.

Most AC emergencies can be prevented with routine maintenance. Seasonal tune-ups, clean filters, properly calibrated thermostats, and annual inspections significantly reduce the risk of sudden breakdowns. Falling Star Heating & Cooling offers affordable maintenance plans designed to keep your system running smoothly and prevent costly emergency calls.
