Why Is My AC Not Working?
One or more factors can contribute to your AC system not working as expected. You should not wait to give us a call if you’re having issues turning on your equipment or if you notice a lack of cool air, constant short cycling, weak airflow, or strange noises during operation.
Our Summerville air conditioning repair professionals are prepared to resolve many common problems, including:
- Refrigerant leaks. The refrigerant is essential for the cooling process in your AC unit. If there is a leak, your system can't maintain the required levels of refrigerant to cool your home effectively. Signs of low refrigerant include ice accumulation on the evaporator coils or inadequate cooling performance. If you have an older system that uses R-410A refrigerant, you may need to switch to the newer R-454B refrigerant to stay compliant with EPA standards.
- Dirty air filter. A clogged air filter restricts airflow, making it difficult for your air conditioning system to cool the air efficiently. This can lead to your system overworking and potentially breaking down. Regularly replacing or cleaning your air filter can prevent this issue.
- Faulty thermostat. If your thermostat isn't functioning correctly – whether due to dead batteries, wiring issues, or sensor malfunctions – your AC equipment might not turn on as desired.
- Electrical issues. Air conditioning units rely on various electrical components to function properly, such as capacitors and relays. If these components fail, your AC system could stop working altogether. Electrical faults could also stem from tripped breakers or damaged wiring.
- Compressor problems. The compressor is often referred to as the heart of your air conditioning system, pumping refrigerant through the unit. If your compressor fails, your system will be unable to cool the air. Common compressor issues stem from wear and tear, overheating, or electrical malfunctions.
- Blocked condenser coils. Over time, your outdoor condenser coils may become dirty or blocked by debris like dust, leaves, or grass. A dirty or blocked condenser coil impairs heat transfer, reducing your system's efficiency and potentially causing it to overheat or fail.
What Is the First Thing to Check When My AC Goes Out?
A failure to start or lack of cool air despite your AC running does not necessarily mean you need to give us a call. There are several simple steps you can take that may resolve the problem without a visit from one of our AC technicians.
First, check your thermostat settings. Confirm that it is set to “cool” and that the desired temperature is lower than the current room temperature. Sometimes, your thermostat may have accidentally been changed to a different setting or turned off. Resolving your issue may only require adjusting the settings or even replacing the batteries.
If your thermostat appears to be functioning properly, the next step is to examine your circuit breaker panel to see if the breaker for the AC unit has tripped. Resetting the breaker can often resolve the issue if a power surge caused it to flip. If both your thermostat and the breaker are in working order but the AC is still unresponsive or failing to produce cold air, you may be dealing with a more serious problem, and it may be time to call our professional technicians to further diagnose and address the issue.

"I signed up for the comfort club membership (very reasonably priced!)"
This company was recommended to me by my neighbor and I am very glad he did so. I just got done with my first HVAC service and it was a great experience. Matt, the technician, was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He was also very clean and thorough. I signed up for the comfort club membership (very reasonably priced!) so they will come to my house in the spring and fall to service my system and it's one less thing I have to worry about. Unless something crazy happens, they will be the only ones touching my HVAC from now on. Highly recommend.

"The Honest Thomas promise - it is true"
The Honest Thomas promise - it is true. Acute recently installed a full HVAC unit in our home to replace an older, poorly installed unit. There were some problems along the way, but the Acute team resolved them professionally, promptly and with courtesy. They are a company I trust and would recommend to others.

How Do I Know If My AC or Thermostat Is Broken?
