If you’re experiencing the frustration of your AC refusing to start up, don’t sweat it—we’re here to help! At Brisk Air, we understand the importance of a functioning air conditioning system, especially in our desert climate. Let’s dive into why your AC might not be turning on and what steps you can take.
Check Your Thermostat
The first thing to inspect is your thermostat. Ensure that it’s set to “cool” mode and that the temperature setting is lower than the current room temperature. Sometimes, a simple adjustment or battery replacement can solve the issue.
Examine the Circuit Breaker
A tripped circuit breaker could be the culprit. Head over to your electrical panel and check if the breaker for your AC unit has been tripped. If so, reset it and see if your AC springs back to life.
Inspect the Air Filter
A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and cause your AC to shut down as a safety measure. Check your air filter and replace it if it’s clogged with dirt and debris. This simple maintenance task can often restore normal operation.
Look for Obstructions
Take a quick look around your outdoor unit (the condenser). Ensure there are no obstructions such as overgrown plants, debris, or dirt blocking the airflow. Clear away any obstacles that might hinder your AC’s performance.
Check the Power Supply
Inspect the power supply to your AC unit. Make sure it’s plugged in securely and that the power switch (usually located near the indoor unit or on the side of the outdoor unit) is turned on.
Consider the Capacitor or Contactor
Faulty capacitors or contactors can prevent your AC from starting. These components are best diagnosed and replaced by HVAC professionals.
