Want to begin troubleshooting your system? Try our fast manual below. Many of these processes don’t require any HVAC expertise.
Your cooling won’t turn on when you have an overloaded breaker.
To see if one has blown, go to your house’s main electrical panel. You can locate this gray box on the wall in the basement, garage, or closet.
If your thermostat isn’t telling your AC to work, it won’t activate.
The most important point is ensuring it’s switched to “cool” and not “heat.” Otherwise, your AC might not turn on. You may also receive heated air blowing from vents because the furnace is on instead.
If you have a regular thermostat:
Once your thermostat is calibrated properly, you should start getting cool air quickly.
If you rely on a smart thermostat, including ones made by Nest, Ecobee, Lux, Honeywell, or Bosch, check the manufacturer’s website for assistance. If you’re still having problems, call us at (832) 957-9332 for assistance.
Your system usually has a power-cutting device near its condenser. This lever is commonly in a metal box attached to your house. If your AC has recently been tuned up, the lever may have accidentally been turned off.
Condensate drain pans keep the surplus condensation your equipment removes from the air. This pan can be situated either below or in your furnace or air handler.
When there’s a blockage or blocked drain, water can become concentrated and initiate a safety setting to turn off your air conditioner.
If your pan involves a PVC pipe or drain, you can clear the additional condensation with a custom pan-cleaning tab. You can buy these tabs at a home improvement or hardware retailer.
If your pan includes a pump, find the float switch. If the lever is “up” and there’s moisture in the pan, you could need to get a new pump. Call us at (832) 957-9332 for help.
Your system’s airflow can be restricted by a clogged air filter or dusty condenser.
A dusty filter can create numerous issues, like:
We recommend changing flat filters once a month, and pleated filters every three months.
If you aren’t sure when you last replaced your filter, shut off your unit totally and remove the filter. You can find the filter in your furnace or air pump’s blower compartment. It may also be located in a connected filter box or wall-mounted return air grille.
Hold the filter up to the light. If you see a lot of dust, you certainly should replace it.
Brush, grass, and sticks can block your condensing system. This could restrict its airflow, impact its energy efficiency and change your comfort. Here’s a way you can get your unit working well again.
When AC systems don’t have adequate refrigerant, they’ll have difficulty removing heat and humidity from your space.
