Troubleshooting Tips Homeowners Can Try
Diy Repair Tips You Can Try Before Calling a Professional Air Conditioning Repair Service
Our air conditioning repair service is often called out to fix units that homeowners themselves could do when they have a little bit of troubleshooting knowledge, which is why our Duffey's Heating & Air Conditioning experts banded together to write this post on just that.
Checking Your Breakers
When your unit refuses to come on, it could be due to your breaker has tripped. When you run several big appliances, lights, and other things all on the same breaker, chances are it may trip. This is a quick check which not only saves you money, but frustration, and even embarrassment.
Examining Your Thermostat
This is another part of an air conditioning system that can cost you money and distress. If your unit is battery operated, try changing the batteries. Also, check to see if you have the thermostat set for on a temperature that is below room temperature. Make sure the unit is not turned off or set to just the fan blowing, as settings can often be inadvertently changed.
Changing Filters
Many air conditioner repairs can be prevented by simply cleaning or changing the filters. If your filter is dirty, it will often result in issues with your unit. Lack of airflow will result in a lack of cooling efficiency. And with a few cases, a clogged filter can lead to the system icing up. Filters have to be checked regularly and changed on a regular basis.
Melting Ice
When your unit has iced up, it will not cool. Melting the ice is a quick and straightforward procedure. You can turn the system off and just run the fan; this will help the ice to melt faster. Or you can just turn off the unit and leave the ice melt by itself.
If you have tried all of the above, with little to no success, then call our air conditioning repair service in Littleton, CO today on (303) 972-0263. We will have your system up and running in no time!
