What To Do Right Now If Your AC Is Not Cooling
When your AC stops keeping up with the heat, it can feel urgent, especially if you have children, older family members, or pets at home. Taking a few simple steps can help you stay safer and more comfortable until our team arrives. These actions also protect your system from further damage in some situations.
Quick Safety & Comfort Checks
First, check your thermostat to confirm it is set to “cool” and that the temperature is lower than the current room temperature. If the display is blank, make sure the batteries are working if your thermostat uses them. You can also check your electrical panel for a tripped breaker, but do not repeatedly reset a breaker that will not stay on, since this can indicate a more serious electrical problem.
If you see ice buildup on the indoor unit or refrigerant lines, it is usually best to turn the system off at the thermostat and switch the fan setting to “on.” This can help the ice melt and prevent further strain on the equipment. For burning or strong electrical smells, shut the system off right away and wait for a technician to inspect it.
While you wait, keep blinds or curtains closed on sunny windows, use fans if available, and gather everyone in the coolest part of the home so the space stays as comfortable as possible. In very hot weather here, it can also help to avoid using the oven or other appliances that put extra heat into the air.
Tips for Maintaining Your AC to Prevent Emergencies
Proper maintenance can reduce the likelihood of urgent breakdowns. While emergencies may still happen, these steps can extend the life of your system:
- Regular Filter Changes: Replace air filters every 30–90 days to maintain airflow and efficiency.
- Inspect Coils & Condenser: Keep evaporator and condenser coils clean to prevent strain on the system.
- Check Thermostat Settings: Ensure your thermostat works correctly and avoids extreme temperature swings.
- Monitor Refrigerant Levels: Low refrigerant can cause icing, reduced cooling, and higher energy costs.
- Schedule Annual Tune-Ups: Professional maintenance once a year identifies small issues before they become emergencies.
- Keep Vents Clear: Ensure vents are unobstructed to maintain proper airflow throughout your home.
These small, proactive actions can help your system perform reliably, reduce energy bills, and prevent last-minute emergency calls.
Understanding Common AC Issues and Warning Signs
Being aware of warning signs can help you identify problems early:
- Warm or No Airflow: Indicates potential compressor or fan motor issues.
- Frequent Breaker Trips: May signal electrical faults that need urgent attention.
- Ice on Lines or Coils: Often caused by low refrigerant or airflow issues.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, squealing, or banging may indicate worn or loose components.
- Strong Electrical Smells: Immediate attention required to prevent fire or further damage.
- High Humidity Indoors: Could point to drainage or coil issues affecting cooling efficiency.
Recognizing these early can save repair costs and prevent discomfort during Orlando’s extreme heat.
