Call an emergency HVAC company immediately and text your guest with a timeline. In San Diego, most emergency HVAC companies can dispatch within 2–4 hours. Document everything for a potential partial refund. SideGuy can help triage, message the guest professionally, and route the fastest local vendor.
Check the lock battery first (most failures). Then try generating a new code remotely. Then arrange a physical key backup. If none work, a locksmith can create access in 30–60 minutes in most SD areas. Text PJ and we'll work through the steps fast.
Contact TurnoverBnB, Properly, or local backup networks immediately. For same-day in San Diego, Thumbtack and TaskRabbit can sometimes match within 1–2 hours. Consider asking the departing guest for an early checkout to buy buffer time.
PJ acts as a human triage layer — helping you think through the fastest path, routing the right vendor, and keeping the guest informed. We don't send crews directly, but we get you to the right person faster than starting from scratch under pressure.
