When Is It Truly Urgent? How to Triage Your Situation

Oklahoma summers are not forgiving. Here’s how to assess whether your situation needs immediate action or can wait a few hours:

Call immediately if:

• Indoor temperatures are approaching or exceeding 85°F and still rising
• Household members include infants, elderly individuals, or people with medical conditions
• You smell burning, see smoke, or hear grinding sounds from the unit
• You see refrigerant ice forming on the lines or unit — continued operation causes compressor damage
• Pets are in distress — animals can overheat faster than humans

You may be able to wait a few hours if:

• Indoor temp is below 80°F and stable
• All household members are managing comfortably
• The issue is clearly minor (e.g., thermostat display issue, tripped breaker that reset)

First Steps While Waiting

• Turn off the AC at the thermostat if you see ice on the unit — let it thaw before our technician arrives
• Check the thermostat settings — confirm COOL mode, set below current room temp
• Check the circuit breaker — reset once if tripped, then wait 30 minutes before restarting
• Close all windows and blinds on sun-facing walls
• Move the household to the lowest level — cooler air is heavier and sinks
• Run ceiling fans to circulate remaining cool air

Keeping Cool Until We Arrive

In a Yukon summer, every degree matters while you wait. Practical steps:

• Wet a towel and drape it over a box fan facing the room — evaporative cooling can drop perceived temperature by 5-10°F
• Draw cool water baths or use cool damp cloths on pulse points — wrists, neck, behind knees
• Keep hydration up — do not wait until you feel thirsty
• Watch for heat exhaustion symptoms: heavy sweating, cool or pale skin, rapid weak pulse, nausea
• Know the emergency number: if anyone shows signs of heat stroke (confusion, hot red skin, no sweating), call 911
