What You Can Safely Check First

These quick checks might save a service call. If they don’t fix it, call us.

Check your thermostat — is it set to "cool" and below room temperature?

Check your circuit breaker — did the AC breaker trip?

Check your air filter — a badly clogged filter can stop airflow.

Check your outdoor unit — is it clear of leaves and debris?

Check the disconnect box near the outdoor unit — is the switch on?

If none of that fixes it, call us. Don't open the system or handle refrigerant yourself — it's dangerous and can cause more damage.
