After spring is over, it is finally time to turn those thermostats from heating to cooling. Luckily, we have air conditioning which can save you from the miserable heat. Unfortunately, however, sometimes the AC can run into issues, preventing you from getting your house cooled to the comfortable temperatures you want. There is no need to fret! We are here to help you get that cool air back, and if there could be a problem beyond what this guide covers, give us a call so we can ensure that your summer isn’t going to be ruined by the heat!
Just as there are various ways to install an AC unit, there are multiple ways that an air conditioner may not be working correctly. Of course, not all problems require expensive equipment or extensive knowledge to fix the problem. You can fix some issues right now before needing to call a specialist.
The first step in troubleshooting the problem with your air conditioning system is to ensure the thermostat is on and set to cool. If the thermostat doesn’t turn on, it could be because the batteries in the thermostat have died. Gently pull the thermostat cover off the wall and check the batteries. Some systems don’t use batteries which may indicate another reason that the thermostat is not receiving power.
If your thermostat won’t turn on and doesn’t need batteries, you should double-check your circuit breaker and ensure none of the breakers have tripped. If there is one, it could be the breaker that connects to your HVAC system. Reset it, rerun your Air Conditioning, and see if that is the problem. Suppose the breaker continues to trip because the circuit is overloaded. In that case, you may want to *contact* an HVAC professional to diagnose the issue.
Another common issue for the air conditioner not working could be that the indoor or outdoor disconnect switches have been turned off. Check on both and make sure that they are on. The indoor disconnect switch should be near your air handler, probably in your attic or garage, and the outside one will be right next to your condenser.
Check For Dirty Filters
Another problem that could prevent you from getting the proper cooling in your house is that the air filters in your HVAC system could be dirty and need changing. If filters aren’t checked often, they can have a buildup of dust and debris, restricting airflow. *Contact* an HVAC professional to replace your filters to ensure that everything is thoroughly cleaned and installed and that no debris has moved further into the unit.
Suppose you have found an issue that is more concerning than what we have covered or are still unable to get your Air Conditioning unit to turn on. In that case, you may want to consider calling an HVAC professional. They can inspect your equipment and troubleshoot things that require specific tools or may need more technical attention. If you contact us, we can send one of our experienced team members to ensure that you can have a comfortable summer as soon as possible. We can make sure you can have the luxury of crisp cold air and relax your mind knowing that your air conditioning will last this summer.
