The silence of an air conditioner that suddenly quits is one of the most stressful sounds of a Florida summer. The immediate wave of heat is more than just uncomfortable—for children, the elderly, or those with health conditions, it can be a genuine emergency. When you’re facing a NO AC situation, time is of the essence.
You need a solution, and you need it fast. But you also need a solution you can trust. Here is a clear plan of action to get help on the way as quickly as possible.
No AC? Act Fast!
Step 1: Confirm It’s a Real Emergency
While some AC issues build over time, a sudden breakdown often indicates a critical failure. You’re likely experiencing a true system emergency if you notice:
- The unit is completely unresponsive. It won’t turn on, and the thermostat may be blank.
- Air is blowing, but it’s warm or hot. This indicates that a major component, such as the compressor, may have failed.
- You hear loud grinding, squealing, or banging noises. Shut the system off immediately at the thermostat and breaker to prevent further damage.
- Water is pooling around your indoor unit. This could signify a frozen system or a severe drainage failure.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, your system needs a professional diagnosis immediately.
Step 2: Get Priority Help on the Way (The Most Important Step)
You can’t wait until regular business hours to act in a cooling emergency. You need to get in the queue for service immediately. While we don’t dispatch technicians in the middle of the night, our phone lines are always open to get you on the priority list.

Step 3: Understand the Value of an Honest Diagnosis
When a technician arrives at your home, you need to know their only goal is to find the right solution for you. D&D Air’s technicians are highly trained, salaried experts—not commissioned salespeople.
Their job is to give you an honest, transparent diagnosis of the problem and explain your options clearly. They will tell you if a simple, cost-effective repair can solve the issue. They will also tell you if the unit has reached the end of its life and investing more in repairs is unwise. This no-pressure approach empowers you to make the best financial decision for your family, whether a straightforward repair or a complete system replacement with a reliable, energy-efficient new unit.
While You Wait for Our Technician
Your safety and comfort are the top priority. Here are a few safe, simple things you can do:
Check your Thermostat:
Ensure it’s set to COOL and the setpoint is below the current room temperature.
Check your Circuit Breaker:
Find the “Air Conditioner” or “HVAC” breaker and see if it has tripped. If it has, you can try flipping it completely off and then back on once. If it trips again, leave it off and wait for a professional.
Stay Hydrated & Use Fans:
Drink plenty of water and use ceiling or portable fans to create air circulation, which can provide a significant cooling effect.
Important: If You or Someone in Your Family Have Health Issues:
An AC breakdown in the Florida heat is not just an inconvenience; it can quickly become a major health crisis. If your household includes elderly individuals, young children, or anyone with chronic health conditions (such as respiratory, heart, or circulatory issues), we urge you to treat this as a serious situation.
Your health is more important than anything else. We strongly advise that vulnerable individuals do not remain in a hot house. Please consider temporarily relocating to a place with reliable air conditioning, like a hotel or a friend’s or loved one’s place.
