Before you call, read these helpfull tips for A/C problems:
- Always check your breaker if the outside unit is not running. There are 2 breakers for your system: one for the outside unit and one for the inside heating system that controls the entire system.
- Check your a/c filter. In the summer it needs to be replaced every 2-4 weeks depending on usage. During the winter months every 1-2 months is ok.
- If water is dripping outside from the overflow line, this is not normal. It could cause your ceiling to flood with water if left unattended.
- If you have a gas furnace and no part of the system runs, make sure the light switch is 'ON' in the attic that feeds power to the furnace.
- If the system is running and not cooling, shut it off! Additional damage may occur if the unit continues to run.
- If outside unit will not shut off at the thermostat, turn unit off at the breaker.
- If you see frost or ice on the outside freon lines going to the a/c unit, shut system off. Unit may be low on freon.
- All a/c units get dirty and need to be cleaned every 1-3 years on average.
- Clean air filters will keep your indoor evaporator a/c coil cleaner longer. If you don't change filters when needed, the evaporator coil will become plugged with dirt and will not cool properly.
- Most electronic thermostats have batteries that need replaced every year. Make it a routine- when you replace the batteries in your smoke detector, replace the batteries in your thermostat at the same time.
