Do These Checks Before Calling for Service if your AC isn’t Working

Some problems with your AC system can be solved quickly and easily.

So, before you reach for the phone to call for service, use the following checklist to see if you can solve it on your own:

Check Filter—A clogged filter will reduce the amount of cool air entering your home. Plus, it will make your system work harder and could lead to early system failure.

Check Thermostat—It should be set three to five degrees below the room temperature to start your system. Don’t be tempted to turn it down further to try to get your system to start. This can cause additional problems.

Check Circuit Breakers—Determine whether any of them are tripped in the electrical panel. Reset if needed.

Check Vents—Make sure all vents and return air ducts are open and not blocked.

Check Air from Indoor Vents—The air blowing should be cool. If there is no air or it is warm, turn off your unit and call for service. Continuing to run your air conditioner could cause damage to the system.

Check Air from Outdoor Unit—You should feel warm air blowing out of the top of the unit. If there is no air or the air is cool, shut off the unit and call for service. Continuing to run your air conditioner could cause damage to your system.

Check the Outdoor Unit—Clear away any debris or landscaping to allow at least 15 inches of free space for proper air flow.

If you see the following symptoms, call right away to avoid damage to your system:

  • Fluid or water leaking from the unit.
  • Water coming from the upper drain line (typically located on the side of your house, about 10 feet up).
  • You see a buildup of ice on the unit.
  • Your system is making strange noises or is noisier than usual.
  • You system has a hard time starting up, or you notice your lights dim when it starts.
  • Your system runs continually.

If your system still is not operating properly, call John’s Refrigeration at (480) 648-2505, or go to JustCallJohns.com.
