Quick checks before you schedule AC repair
If your air conditioner is acting up, a few simple checks can save time and help our technicians diagnose the issue faster. If you notice burning smells, repeated breaker trips, or water near electrical components, turn the system off and request help right away.
Confirm the thermostat is set to “Cool,” the temperature is set below room temp, and the batteries are working (if applicable).
Check the air filter. A clogged filter can restrict airflow and make your system work harder.
Look at the breaker panel for a tripped AC breaker and make sure the disconnect is set to “On.”
Make sure supply vents are open and not blocked by furniture or rugs.
Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit so it can breathe.
