What counts as an emergency
- Warm fridge or freezer with food at risk — every hour matters.
- Active water leak from an ice line or drain near cabinetry or flooring.
- Total failure — a unit that has gone dark or quit cooling entirely.
- Burning smell or scorching — unplug the unit and call immediately.
| Symptom | Do this now | Urgency |
|---|---|---|
| Warming, food at risk | Move perishables, keep doors shut | Same-day |
| Active water leak | Shut the supply valve, then call | Same-day |
| Unit went dark / quit | Check the breaker, note any code | Same-day / next-day |
| Burning smell or scorching | Unplug or switch off the breaker | Stop using; call now |
Have the model and serial ready if you can — it speeds the visit.
How we prioritize urgent Sunnyvale calls
Because we focus on Sunnyvale and the immediate area, we can route a technician quickly and arrive with the OEM parts common to local built-ins. We confirm the soonest realistic window when you call, factor in condo or HOA access, and give a written quote on-site before any work.
| Situation | Typical window | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Warm fridge, food at risk | Same-day / next-day | Call early for same-day |
| Active leak | Same-day / next-day | Shut off water first |
| Total failure | Same-day / next-day | Bring model & serial if known |
Windows depend on the day’s schedule and access; we confirm the soonest when you call.
