Help! My AC Isn't Working: Mechollage Troubleshooting Tips
When your air conditioning system stops working, it can quickly turn a comfortable home into an uncomfortable one. Before you call a professional, there are some simple troubleshooting steps you can take to identify and possibly resolve the issue yourself. Here are some tips to help you get your AC back up and running, and how to know when it’s time to call in the experts at Mechollage.
1. Double-Check Your Thermostat Settings
- Make Sure It’s Set to “Cool”: Sometimes the thermostat might accidentally be set to “Heat” or “Off.”
- Verify the Temperature Setting: Make sure it’s set lower than the current room temperature.
- Replace the Batteries: If your thermostat is battery-operated, dead batteries could be the problem.
2. Take a Look at the Air Filters
- Replace Dirty Filters: Clogged filters can restrict airflow, causing the system to shut down. Replace them if they’re dirty.
- Regular Maintenance: Ensure you change filters every 1-3 months to keep the system running smoothly.
3. Give the Outdoor Unit Some Attention
- Clear Debris: Make sure the outdoor unit is free of leaves, dirt, and other debris..
4. Check Your Vents and Registers
- Open All Vents: Ensure all supply and return vents are open and not obstructed by furniture or other items.
- Clean the Vents: Dust and debris can block airflow. Clean the vents to improve air circulation.
