When it shouldn't wait until morning
High indoor temperatures can increase the risk of heat-related illness, especially for older adults, infants, young children, and people with certain health conditions. If anyone in the home is showing signs of heat illness, seek medical help first. Water pouring from an attic air handler is also urgent — not for comfort, but because a saturated ceiling can fail. Burning smells or a breaker that trips repeatedly are reasons to shut the system off at the disconnect and request service.
