Overview
No Cold Air? We Answer Live and Roll Out
A dead air conditioner in a North Louisiana heat wave is more than an inconvenience — it's a real risk. When the outside temperature pushes into the upper 90s and the humidity makes it feel hotter, an un-cooled house climbs fast. That's genuinely dangerous for infants, older adults, and anyone with heart, breathing, or other health conditions, and downright miserable for everyone else. Mark Johnson & Sons treats a no-cooling call as urgent, day or night, and has since 1997.
Our phones are answered live 24/7 by a real person — not a machine, not a next-morning callback queue. We dispatch a licensed, background-checked tech fast, usually on-site within 60 to 90 minutes, and the trucks carry the parts that fail most in the heat. That means most emergency calls get diagnosed and cooling again in a single visit, with a flat-rate price quoted before we touch a tool.
When a no-cooling call can't wait
- No cold air with the indoor temperature climbing and infants or elderly family at home
- A burning or electrical smell, or a breaker that trips every time the AC starts
- The compressor slamming on and off, grinding, or dead silent
- The system frozen into a block of ice overnight
- Refrigerant or water pouring out around an unresponsive unit
Fixed on the spot in most cases
The failures that strand people in a Louisiana summer are predictable: blown capacitors and burned contactors first, then fan motors that cook under nonstop runtime, low refrigerant from a leak, and coils that freeze from restricted airflow. Our trucks stock all of it — capacitors, contactors, condenser fan and blower motors, and R-410A — so the majority of after-hours calls are cooling again before we leave. If a part isn't on the truck, we source it the same day whenever a supplier is open. Bigger jobs like a compressor or coil get scheduled fast, and we lay out honest repair-vs-replace numbers first.
Flat-rate, even at 2am
No subcontractors, no surprise hourly meter running while you wait, no pressure. You get the repair price before any work starts — even in the middle of the night. There's an after-hours surcharge for nights, weekends, and holidays, and it's built into the quote up front so there's nothing to guess at. Service members go straight to the front of the line on a heat-wave day, take 15% off the repair, and get an after-hours discount on top — service members on the Premium Service Savings Agreement Plan pay no after-hours charge at all.

The Process
How an Emergency AC Call Works

On the truck
Professional tools, parts, and diagnostics — every call.
Answered live, any hour
A real person picks up 24/7. We ask what the system is doing and whether anyone in the home is at risk from the heat, then prioritize accordingly.
Fast dispatch
A licensed, background-checked tech heads your way — no subcontractors — usually on-site within 60 to 90 minutes. Service members get priority placement in the queue.
On-site diagnosis
The tech pinpoints the failure — capacitor, contactor, motor, refrigerant, frozen coil — and shows you exactly what's wrong before quoting.
Flat-rate quote
You get the repair price before any work starts. No hourly meter running in the middle of the night, no pressure.
Fixed on the spot in most cases
Common heat-wave parts ride on the truck, so most emergency calls are cooling again the same visit. Larger jobs get scheduled fast.

FAQ
24/7 Emergency AC FAQs
How fast can you get here when the AC quits?
Fast — a no-cooling call in a Louisiana heat wave is treated as urgent, especially with infants or elderly family at home. We answer live 24/7 and dispatch a licensed tech as quickly as possible, usually on-site within 60 to 90 minutes. Service members get priority and jump ahead in the queue.
Is a broken AC really an emergency?
In North Louisiana summer heat, it can be. When it's in the upper 90s with heavy humidity, an un-cooled house heats up fast and becomes genuinely dangerous for babies, older adults, and anyone with heart, breathing, or health conditions. If someone at home is at risk, tell us — we prioritize those calls.
What should I do while I wait for the tech?
Turn the AC off if it's frozen into ice — running it that way can wreck the compressor — and switch the fan to ON to thaw it. Move everyone to the coolest room, close blinds on the sunny side, run ceiling and box fans, and drink water. If anyone shows signs of heat sickness, don't wait on us — call for medical help.
What usually fails during a heat wave?
The most common heat-wave failures are capacitors and contactors, followed by fan motors that burn out under nonstop runtime, low refrigerant from a leak, and coils that freeze into a block of ice. Our trucks carry these parts, so most emergency calls are fixed in a single visit.
My AC froze into a block of ice — is that an emergency?
It needs attention, but don't keep running it — that can burn up the compressor. Shut the cooling off and set the fan to ON to melt the ice, then call us. Freeze-ups come from low airflow (a dirty filter or coil) or low refrigerant from a leak, and we diagnose which once it thaws so it doesn't just ice up again.
Do you really answer the phone at 2am?
Yes. Our line is answered live 24/7 by a real person — not a machine or a next-morning callback. Whether it's the middle of the night, a weekend, or a holiday, you talk to someone who can get a tech moving.
How much does an emergency AC repair cost?
The after-hours service call is a flat fee with the surcharge built in, and it's applied to the repair when you approve it. What the repair costs comes down to the part — a capacitor or contactor is on the low end, a fan motor or refrigerant leak higher, and a compressor is the big-ticket item. Everything is flat-rate and quoted before we start.
Is there an extra charge for after-hours service?
There's an after-hours surcharge for nights, weekends, and holidays, built into the emergency service call. Everything is still flat-rate and quoted before we start — you'll know the full price before any work begins, no meter running while you wait. Service members get 15% off the repair plus an after-hours discount.
Can you replace a whole system in the middle of the night?
We can almost always get you cooling again on the spot with a repair, even if the unit is near the end of its life. A full replacement is scheduled fast — usually the next day — because sizing it right takes a load calc and daylight to do properly. If the system can't be saved that night, we'll get you a stopgap plan and honest replacement numbers first thing.
Do you service all brands after hours?
Yes — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, American Standard, Bryant, Amana, and every other major central AC and heat-pump brand, plus Daikin and Mitsubishi mini-splits. The common failure parts are similar across brands and ride on the truck, so most emergency calls are fixed the same visit regardless of what you own.
Does the service savings agreement help in an emergency?
Yes. Service Savings Agreement Plan ($189/year) includes priority scheduling, so service members go to the front of the line on a no-cooling call — a real advantage during a heat wave when everyone's AC is struggling. Service members also get 15% off the repair and an after-hours discount, plus two HVAC tune-ups and a plumbing check-up that help prevent the breakdown in the first place.
