It’s 100 Degrees and Your AC Just Died. Now What? Don’t Panic! Here’s Exactly What to Expect from Our Emergency Service

It’s here.
That day you hoped would never come. The sun is melting the pavement. You can smell the heat in the air. Your indoor thermostat is creeping up like it’s racing toward 100° — and your AC just stopped.

This is more than uncomfortable. It’s unbearable. And if you’ve got pets, kids, or older adults in the home, it can quickly become a health hazard.

So… what do you do when your AC quits on the hottest day of the year?
You call Bob Boldt HVAC — and here’s exactly what happens next.

Step 1: We Dispatch a Tech — Fast

When you call us at (651) 318-0913, you’ll speak with a real person. No complicated phone trees. No guessing games. Just someone who’s ready to get your issue resolved ASAP.

We charge a $129 dispatch fee, which includes:

• A licensed HVAC technician on-site
• A full diagnostic of your system
• An honest explanation of what went wrong
• Clear repair options and pricing

You’ll never be left wondering what’s happening. We show up, assess the situation, and walk you through your options. You stay in control.

Step 2: We Find the Fix That Fits Your Budget

Whether your capacitor’s blown, your coil’s frozen, or a squirrel chewed through a wire (yes, it happens more than you’d think), our technicians are trained to find the problem — fast.

But we don’t just tell you what’s wrong. We tell you:

• What caused it
• What it will take to fix it
• Whether we can fix it on the spot
• What it will cost — no surprises
• What you can do to prevent it from happening again

We’ve built our reputation on straight talk and solid work. If it’s a quick fix, we’ll handle it right then and there. If it’s something more complicated, we’ll help you plan the next steps — without the pressure or scare tactics.

Step 3: We Help You Stay Cool in the Meantime

If repairs are delayed due to parts, scheduling, or manufacturer requirements (it happens), we don’t just leave you sweating. We’ll:

• Provide tips to temporarily cool down the house
• Recommend fans or portable units if needed
• Add you to our urgency list, giving you first priority for cancellations or reschedules
• Connect you with trusted partner HVAC companies if we’re completely booked — yes, really

We’re not just in the AC business — we’re in the people-first comfort business. Your comfort matters, and we’ll do whatever it takes to help, even if that means referring you to someone else we trust.

Emergency Service Doesn’t Mean Emergency Pricing

We believe in fair, upfront pricing — even when it’s 100 degrees outside.
Your dispatch fee doesn’t triple just because it’s July. We don’t play those games. We charge what’s fair, explain everything, and make sure you approve it before we touch anything.

What NOT to Do If Your AC Dies

While you’re waiting for help, here’s what we recommend:

• Don’t mess with the wiring. We’ve seen well-meaning DIYers make a $50 fix turn into a $500 disaster.
• Don’t turn the system off and on repeatedly. This can cause more damage.
• Don’t wait it out if the temps keep rising. Especially with small children or elderly individuals — heat can be dangerous.

Instead, close your blinds, use fans, drink water, and give us a call. We’ll be on our way.

Real Story: How One Family Survived the Sizzle

A client called us last July — single mom, two toddlers, AC went out mid-afternoon. She was in full panic mode. She’d already called three companies who told her they were booked for a week.

She called us at 3:30 PM.
We had a technician there by 5:00.
The issue? A dirty capacitor and a blown fuse.
By 6:00 PM, her AC was running. Her kids were cool. And she was crying tears of joy (and relief).

That’s what we do.

The Comfort Plus Club Bonus

If you’re a member of our Comfort Plus Club, you skip the line. Members always get priority scheduling, and we waive overtime fees — even on evenings and weekends.

For just $28/month, you get inspections, peace of mind, and the kind of service that makes these emergencies a whole lot less stressful.

We’re Here When You Need Us

No one plans for their AC to break down on the hottest day of the year — but it happens.
When it does, you want a team that shows up fast, tells the truth, and gets the job done.

That’s Bob Boldt HVAC. Call us at (651) 318-0913 for emergency AC service. We’re here when you need us most — no judgment, no surprises, no sweat.
