What to Do When Your AC Stops Working

When the AC stops working on a hot San Angelo day, a few safe checks can rule out the simplest causes before you request service.

Safe Checks

  • Check the thermostat setting and batteries.
  • Check and replace the air filter.
  • Check the breaker for the indoor and outdoor units.
  • Make sure the outdoor unit has power and is clear of debris.
  • Make sure all supply vents are open.

When to Request Service

If those checks do not help, the cause is likely a component or refrigerant issue. Request service rather than opening the equipment. See AC repair and AC won't turn on.

FAQs

What should I check before calling for AC repair?

Check the thermostat, filter, breaker, outdoor unit power, and supply vents. If those are fine, request service.
