Emergency Air Conditioning Service

emergency-ari-conditioning-service-tulsa-areaWell we broke 100 degrees in Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma today and there were many emergency air conditioning service calls made by Circle B Mechanical. In almost every instance we found the air conditioners were working too hard from a lack of service.

Local weather broadcasts have been reporting high temperatures around the corner and we all hoped they would stay away for a bit longer, but there is no such thing as cool weather during Oklahoma summers. Bristow, Sapulpa, Kellyville, Tulsa and Sand Springs, Broken Arrow, and Bixby all had 100+ degree heat as well. It seemed like everywhere experienced 100+ degree temperatures and air conditioning units failing. High temperatures like our area has experienced for the past two days are hot and very uncomfortable. In fact it can be dangerous if you are exposed to them very long. Continue reading →
