Most professionally installed ACs will not have reset buttons. Power outages or surges, while rare in the Pacific Northwest, can be the reason your air conditioner isn’t working, however, they will typically come back on as long as you have power. Still, after a power outage, it’s a good idea to check your system and your breaker box. Your circuit breaker could have been tripped for your AC or furnace, so it’s important to check both places. A key indicator is that if the thermostat is blank, the furnace might not have power. Try turning your AC off at the thermostat and resetting your circuit breaker. Wait a half an hour before turning it back on. If you are still having difficulties it’s time to call in the professionals before it becomes a worse problem.
