Common Issues You Can Check Yourself:

1. Dirty or Clogged Air Filter – A dirty filter restricts airflow and causes your system to work harder. Replace or clean it every 30–90 days.

2. Thermostat Settings – Double-check that your thermostat is set to Cool or Heat mode and that the batteries are working.

3. Tripped Breakers or Blown Fuses – Check your electrical panel for any tripped breakers related to your HVAC unit.

4. Blocked Vents and Returns – Ensure furniture or drapes aren’t blocking vents, which can limit airflow.

5. Condensate Drain Line – If your AC stops cooling, a clogged drain line could be the culprit.

When to Call the Pros:

If your system is making unusual noises, leaking refrigerant, or not responding to the thermostat, it’s best to schedule service with a licensed HVAC technician.
