Trust the local choice to fix your common air conditioning problems.

Homeowners can check these 5 items before calling for service.

1. Check or replace filters. – Lots of times a dirty filter is the cause of a system operation issue [due to airflow restriction].

2. Check batteries in Thermostat. – Most new Thermostats have batteries that need replacement, much like your smoke alarms.

3. Condensate drains. – If your system is in an attic, your emergency safety switch may have shut the system down. Check the emergency pan for water. Call for service.  For basement locations a condensate removal pump is used to remove the water. Is the pump full of water? Call for service.

4. Check the Electrical panel to see if the breaker is tripped. Some units also have breakers at the A/C unit in the power disconnect box.

5. Check the power supply to the furnace. Did the breaker trip? Is the switch on at the furnace [looks like standard light switch]? Does the furnace fan operate?
