Your Thermostat Batteries Are Dead
Sometimes the reason your AC is failing is the simplest solution. It is very common for homeowners to not realize their thermostat’s batteries are dead, causing their AC unit to not work. We urge you to first check this before beginning to troubleshoot your unit.
Your AC Unit Has A Blown Fuse
One common reason that old AC units may stop working is a blown fuse. The fuse in an AC unit ensures that there isn’t a surge of electricity in the unit’s circuits. If it is blown, you may need to call an HVAC expert to replace the fuse.
Your Filters Are Due For A Change
Many homeowners fail to change the filters on their AC units regularly. The longer these filters go unreplaced, the more inefficient your AC unit becomes. Replacing these filters every 3 months ensures your unit continues to operate optimally.
Your Air Ducts Need Cleaning
A common reason why an AC unit may feel like it isn’t cooling your home is having dirty air ducts. Over time, air ducts will gather an abundance of dust and other particulates from the home. Getting these professionally cleaned can help your AC run well and improve your home’s air quality.
