HVAC Troubleshooting Before Your Consultation
Before booking a consultation with our air conditioner specialists, it’s important to make sure your problem is not just a quick fix. Here is a checklist to run through before making an appointment.
- Check your breaker (check the AC on/off switch, make sure circuit breakers are on)
- Examine your thermostat (make sure your system is set to “heat” or “cool” and that the set temperature is high or low enough to trigger the system)
- Check and replace your air filter
- Check any vents, ducts, and grills in case of blockage
- Check the batteries
- Check the outside unit (test the temperature and efficiency - place a thermometer on the supply register, take a reading at the return vent)
- Melt any ice
