3 Things to Check Before Calling About Your Atlanta AC
June 29, 2015

It can raise the panic alarm when you find that your air conditioner isn’t working, but sometimes there can be a simple reason for that. This doesn’t mean you should try and repair your air conditioner yourself. What you can do is check a few things to rule them out before calling for what could be an unnecessary AC repair appointment.

Items to Check

Here are some basic things to check before calling for repair help for your air conditioner:

  • The thermostat – your thermostat should always be the first thing you check whenever your air conditioner isn’t working as it should. Check to see if the batteries have run low, or if someone has changed a program setting or hit a wrong button.
  • The air filter – a dirty air filter can wreak havoc on your air conditioning system, and even shut it off if the air filter is clogged enough. Your AC air filter should be changed every three months to keep it effective and operable, otherwise it can become clogged and dirty.
  • Your electrical panel – your air conditioner has its own circuit breaker in your electrical box. Sometimes a faulty breaker will trip and shut off the power, but if your system is drawing too much power, the breaker will shut down as a precaution. Try to switch the breaker back on, but don’t force it if you encounter any resistance – this usually means there’s an overload issue and professional assistance is required. If the breaker switches to on but trips again, it’s time to call for an expert.

All repair work for your air conditioner in Canton, GA should always be handled by an expert. But if you can rule out these possibilities before you call for help, you’ll help yourself, your Comfort Zone HVAC technician and your AC.
