After all, the safety of you and your family is our highest priority.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000;\"><strong>1. Turn the AC Unit Off Before You Begin<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, turn off your AC unit before troubleshooting any of the issues you come across. This is important because most air conditioning units run on electricity, which can shock you. Please follow this safety precaution and never attempt to fix anything when the AC is still on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000;\">2. Have All Tools and Materials Ready<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to have the right tools and materials on hand to safely and effectively inspect and address issues. Here are some of the tools and materials you need:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phillips-head and flat-head screwdrivers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adjustable wrench<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multimeter<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vacuum cleaner or shop vacuum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Condenser coil cleaning brush<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pipe cleaner or drain cleaning brush<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gloves and safety glasses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fin comb<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duct tape or AC tape<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flashlight<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spray bottle with water and mild detergent<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rubber mallet<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000;\"><strong>3. Follow Manufacturer Guidelines\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, locate the manufacturer\u2019s manual and read it carefully to ensure that you follow all the safety and troubleshooting guidelines to the tee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What To Do When Your AC Stops Working\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is never easy when the air conditioning unit fails to produce the comfort you need in your house. However, with the five easy steps outlined below you may be able to restore your AC unit to order. If neither of these steps works to fix the AC, you may have a larger issue at hand that will require the assistance of a qualified AC professional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000;\"><strong>1. Inspect and Clean Air Filters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is nothing that will cause your AC unit to stop working as fast as a clogged air filter. Air filters are extremely important as they remove dust and debris from the air flowing through them before infiltrating through the house. As they provide this important function, they become overwhelmed with dirt, dust, and debris. The airflow will slow down and the air conditioning unit will appear to be broken because the house won\u2019t cool off as efficiently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000;\">How to Inspect and Clean the Air Filters<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locate the air filters along the wall or floor, hidden behind a set of vents.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lift the vents away and inspect the condition of the filters.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean the filter by vacuuming, rinsing it with water, and allowing it to dry before reinstalling it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*Alternatively, you can just replace the dirty filter with a brand-new one.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reinstall the filter and turn the AC unit back on.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000;\"><strong>2. Check and Clean Condenser Coils\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Condenser coils play a critical role in releasing the heat absorbed from the house into the outdoors. Over time, the condenser coils can accumulate dust, dirt, and debris, slowing down the efficiency of heat transference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000;\">Cleaning Condenser Coils Safely<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find the condenser unit located outside, typically along the perimeter of your home, and remove the outer panel of the unit.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the condition of the coils and look for dirt, dust, leaves, and other debris.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using your condenser coil cleaning brush, gently sweep away any dust and dirt from the coils by working from the top down.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rinse the coils with water and allow them to air dry.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put the outer panel back on.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn the AC unit back on to see if it helps restore the proper function of the AC unit.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000;\"><strong>3. Check and Clear Drainage Lines\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drainage lines are responsible for removing excess moisture and condensation accumulating during the cooling process. To prevent the damage and poor AC performance caused by excess water in the AC system, it is vital to clear the drainage lines by following these steps:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locate the drainage lines that are typically near the air handler or evaporator coil<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove the access panel on the air handler\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the drainage lines or blockages, dirt, and algae that may block the proper flow of water in the system<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a wet or dry vacuum to clear any blockages in the drain lines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flush the drain line with household bleach or a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar to prevent future clogs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place the panel cover back on and test the AC to ensure this step helped restore its function.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000;\"><strong>4. Verify Thermostat Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to the optimal energy efficiency of your central air conditioning unit is setting it with the correct temperatures.\u00a0 If the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AC unit is not working,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the thermostat\u2019s settings can be the issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000;\">Ensuring That Your Thermostat is Working Properly<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check that the thermostat is on and its display screen is set to cool or warm your home, depending on the current season.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a separate thermometer to measure the room temperature and compare it to the thermostat reading. If there\u2019s a big difference in the temperatures, you may need to calibrate the thermostat.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set your thermostat settings within a 10-degree margin of the outside temperatures to create balance and comfort in the home.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000;\"><strong>5. Inspect and Seal Air Ducts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air ducts are a crucial component of a central AC system, responsible for distributing cooled air throughout your home. However, leaky or damaged air ducts can significantly affect the airflow, efficiency, and overall performance of your AC system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000;\">How To Check and Seal the Air Ducts<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using your flashlight, inspect the ducts for visible cracks that cause air leaks. Pay special attention to joints as these areas often have holes and gaps.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use foil tape, mastic, or duct tape to cover any gaps or holes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that nothing is obstructing the airflow from vents, such as furniture, curtains, and plants.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn the AC back on and test to see if this <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">air conditioning fix<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> helped with improving its cooling power.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>Still, Having Issues?
