You should check your local laws just so your know what they are. Even if the laws don't specify # of days to repair, try to find out general guidelines. E.g. Mass laws are 5 working days to repair a health or safety issue; 30 days for other repairs. From Oct -April, heat is considered a health issue.

I give tenant's electric heaters in case someone's heat goes out. Maybe you could pick up an AC window unit to have when the central air goes out??

I agree, I do the same too. Just Monday I had an AC go out. It was 102 outside! I was not going to let the tenant without ac. I have 2 window units for just in case reasons. I put the window unit in and on tuesday morning my tech went out and fixed the problem.

You can rent portable A/C units that run on regular power-on wheels.
