So, you just got home after a long, hot day of work and you just want to go home and unwind. You open the door to your house and you get hit by a wave of hot air. As you go to turn the air conditioning unit on, you notice that it isn’t starting up. Great. After a long day, you are stuck dealing with an HVAC system that doesn’t work properly.
The simplest solution is to give Superior AC & Heat a call. We can send our experts to your place on the same day. Our team offers 24/7 emergency HVAC repairs, and we will do our best to restore your comfort on the same day. If you want to try and tackle the problem yourself, here are 6 possible reasons why your air conditioning unit isn’t working.
A Tripped Circuit Breaker
Take a look at your breaker box. If you have a tripped circuit breaker, it could be the one that links to your heating and cooling system. Reset the breaker and test your air conditioning unit again. You will experience frequent breaker trips when your circuit is overloaded.
The Coil Are Dirty
If your thermostat is set to blow cool air out, but it isn’t, it’s possible that your coils are dirty. When your coil is clogged, it prevents cool air from coming out. That’s why we recommend getting regular professional inspections and HVAC maintenance.
Batteries Have Died
The most convenient problem to have is if the batteries in your thermostat simply died. That means that nothing is wrong with your air conditioning unit. Your thermostat isn’t displaying anything because the batteries are dead. With a simple change of batteries, you have solved the problem all by yourself.
Indoor Disconnect Switch Is Off
If your indoor disconnect switch is located in your garage or attic, it’s likely that it was accidentally bumped and switched off. Before you try any further troubleshooting, ensure that the switch is turned on.
Outdoor Disconnect Switch Is Off
Part of the AC unit is inside your home and the other part is outdoors. It is standard to have switches both near the indoor and outdoor units. It’s possible that the outdoor disconnect switch was accidentally turned off.
Change Dirty Filter
Your air filters need to be changed at least once every three months. If you own a pet, it’s recommended to change the filter out more often. If you don’t ever switch the air filter, it will get dirty and can freeze up the system if there isn’t enough ventilation.
