Basic AC Troubleshooting Tips for Homeowners
When your air conditioner suddenly stops working, there are several simple steps you can try before calling for professional help. Unified AirTech wants to empower homeowners with basic troubleshooting tips that might save you the cost of a service call.
1. Check the Circuit Breaker
If there's no power at your thermostat, start by checking your home's electrical panel. Locate your AC breaker and ensure it hasn't tripped. A simple reset might restore power and quickly solve the issue.
2. Thermostat Batteries
Many thermostats require batteries. If your thermostat display is blank, open it up and check if batteries are present and functional. Replace them with fresh batteries if necessary, and see if your AC turns back on.
3. Inspect the Drain Pan
Your AC unit has a safety feature that shuts it off when water accumulates in the drain pan. Inspect the pan for excess water. If you find water, use a wet vacuum to clear the drain line and remove water from the pan. Once cleared, your AC should restart.
If you've completed these steps and your AC still isn't working, it’s time to call Unified AirTech. Our experienced technicians are ready to quickly diagnose and repair your system.
