When your air conditioning system is not functioning properly, what is the first thing you
do? If you’re like many homeowners, you head for the phone and call in a professional.
While there are many times when this is definitely the best solution, there are times when
you might be able to fix the problem yourself.

You may be surprised to learn that there are some very simple solutions to problems that
may seem complicated. All you need to do is to take a few minutes of your time to check it
out and see if any of them apply. The next time you experience any of the problems below
try these simple solutions to common AC problems that homeowners face before calling
in a professional.

No Power to Your AC Unit

When you turn your AC unit on and nothing happens or when it suddenly shuts off, it can
cause a panic at first. This is a natural response but it doesn’t always mean there is a
serious problem. What you may not know is that the main reason you may not be getting
any power to your AC unit is due to the circuit breaker kicking off or because of a blown
fuse, which is found in older homes.

It is very common for homes to experience a surge of power or a temporary overload that
will cause a fuse to blow or it will kick off your circuit breaker to prevent damage from
occurring to the unit. The solution is to simply replace the fuse or flip the circuit breaker
off and then back to the “on” position. This will reset it and your unit should work as
normal. Of course, if this becomes a constant problem, then you’ll need to call in a
professional to find out why.

Your System Is Leaking Water

When your system is not draining properly, you’ll notice water leaking and it needs to be
taken care of right away to prevent the damage. In most cases, the condensate drain is
clogged, preventing the water from draining properly. All you need to do is clean out the
line. You can unhook it and blow out the line or attach a wet vacuum to one end to pull out
the debris.

A dirty evaporator coil can also cause water to leak, so look for algae or dirt around the
coils. If you see any, use your water hose to clean it off. If you notice there is ice on the
coils, this is an indication that the Freon level is low and you’ll need to call in a professional
company.

Your System Is Not Cooling Properly

When your AC unit is not cooling properly, it’s easy to think there may be something
seriously wrong but in many cases, it’s just the filters need changed. When the filters get
old and clogged, it makes the system work harder to keep your home cool. When the air
coming through the vents is not as cold as you expect or when you notice a spike in your
electric bill, check your filters to see if they need changed.

problems before calling in a professional. However, when you do need a professional
