AC DOWN? HERE'S WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW.
Before you call anyone, check these common fixes. About 30% of "dead AC" calls are simple issues you can solve yourself in 5 minutes.
CHECK THESE FIRST (5 MINUTES)
Check your thermostat
Make sure it's set to COOL, fan is on AUTO, and temperature is set below current room temp. Replace batteries if it's blank.
Check your circuit breaker
Find your electrical panel and look for tripped breakers. HVAC systems typically have 2 breakers: one for the indoor unit, one for outdoor. Flip them fully off, then back on.
Check your air filter
A completely clogged filter can cause your system to freeze up and stop cooling. If it's dirty, replace it and wait 2-3 hours for ice to melt before restarting.
Check the outdoor unit
Go outside and look at your condenser. Is the fan spinning? Is there ice on the pipes? Leaves or debris blocking airflow? Clear any obstructions.
Check the condensate drain
Many systems have a safety float switch that shuts off the AC when the drain line clogs. Look for water around the indoor unit. Clear the drain line with a wet/dry vac if needed.
STAY COOL WHILE YOU WAIT
