If your central air conditioning system stops working, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the problem before calling in a HVAC tech. Here are some steps you can take:
Check the thermostat: Make sure the thermostat is set to the right temperature and is working properly. If the thermostat is not working, your AC may not turn on or off at the right times.
Check the air filter: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and cause your AC to stop working. Check the air filter and replace it if it's dirty.
Check the circuit breaker: If the circuit breaker that controls your AC has tripped, reset it and see if that fixes the problem.
Check the condenser unit: The condenser unit is the outdoor unit that houses the compressor. Check to see if the unit is running and if the fan is spinning. If the unit is not running, check to see if there is power going to the unit.
If these steps do not fix the problem, it's time to call in a AC contractor. Our team can diagnose the issue and make the necessary repairs to get your AC up and running again. It's important to have a Specialist handle any repairs or maintenance on your central air conditioning system to ensure that it's done correctly and safely.
