Troubleshoot your air conditioning system for these common issues and easy fixes.
Air conditioning systems are complex, and every component of the unit must be in proper working order for the system to operate. Sometimes, one small issue is enough to render your entire AC or HVAC system inoperable. But that doesn’t mean you need a full air conditioning system replacement. It might be an easy fix, and we’re here to help!
Pick up the phone and call our helpful team. We’ll give your system a quick check for these issues:
1. Tripped Breakers
A quick peek at the electrical panel should inform you if your A/C has tripped the breaker. If the circuit breaks repeatedly, it could warrant the need for and air conditioning service.
2. Clogged Air Filter
If your AC system isn’t blowing cold air, one likely cause could be the air filter. A clogged or dirty air filter will restrict air flow and could lead to worse problems down the road. Replace it, and let the air conditioning system run, checking if the airflow improves.
3. Thermostat Problem
Sometimes the cause of your low airflow problems could be nothing more than a thermostat issue. It is not uncommon for us to receive calls on weekday holidays when the AC is running its usual weekday setback cycle to save energy. Alternatively, you’re air conditioning system might be set to the “on” function instead of “auto.”
