There are plenty of DIY air conditioning repairs that homeowners can tackle themselves.

Top Three A/C Issues & DIY Fixes
There are three main issues that homeowners commonly experience when their A/C doesn’t work as it should. Take a look through the top three air conditioning problems and what their troubleshooting recommendations are below:
- A/C Won’t Turn On: If the unit refuses to turn on at all, the problem is likely due to a tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse, faulty thermostat, or internal switch being turned off. Check to see if your unit is receiving adequate power from your home’s electrical panel first. Then, reset the circuit breaker or replace the blown fuse. Ensure all switches in and around the A/C unit are set to the “on” position and make sure the blower door is securely closed.
- No Cool Air Blowing: When your system turns on but does not blow cool air, it’s likely because something is blocking the airflow inside the system. Check your thermostat to ensure it’s working properly, then examine the condenser to see if it’s dirty or if there’s visible blockage. If there is, clean it, then move on to the air filters and clean or replace as needed.
- Poor Airflow Circulation: If you’re experiencing poor airflow throughout the home, the problem probably lies in a dirty air filter or ductwork. Resolve the problem by cleaning or replacing your air filter. Inspect the ductwork in your home as well to ensure nothing has been disconnected or clogged. You’ll also want to check register dampers on vents in your home to ensure they’re set to the open position.
While these common air conditioning problems are fairly easy to troubleshoot on your own, there are instances where it’s best to call in a professional HVAC technician like those available at Frymire Home Services.
