Common Air Conditioning Problems

There are a number of reasons your air conditioner might not be working properly. Take a look below to see if your AC unit — or something else entirely— is to blame.

• Faulty wiring – If there is a problem with wiring, it may prevent the AC from even receiving power in the first place.
• Issues with the thermostat – Such as the batteries are dead or the thermostat isn’t turned to the “on” position.
• Low freon levels – This could imply that there is a leak somewhere that needs to be fixed.
• Tripped electrical breakers – Often associated with bad wiring, when a high voltage circuit breaker is tripped and turned off, go to the power distribution panel and flip it back on.
• Clogged drain line – When the condensation that is trying to get out is blocked by dirt, insects, mold, leaves, etc., it might back up into your home.
• Dirty evaporator coil – Condensation can mix with the buildup or dirt on your coil, causing mucky water to drip into the pan and block the drain line.
• Frozen coil – The blocked airflow combining with the moisture already present in the air causes ice to build up around your coil.
