The following checklist is a way to help you troubleshoot common HVAC issues before you call for emergency service. It’s practical and can save you both time and money.

Pre-Call Checklist for HVAC Issues

1. Check the Circuit Breaker:

• Action: Ensure the circuit breaker for your HVAC system hasn’t tripped.
• If Tripped: Reset the breaker. If it trips again, there may be an underlying issue that requires professional repair.

2. Verify Thermostat Settings:

• Action: Confirm that your thermostat is set to “Cool” or “Auto.” Set the temperature to a lower setting and wait for at least 5 minutes.
• If Unchanged: Check for any other thermostat issues or battery problems.

3. Power Off Before Inspection:

• Action: Turn off the power to your A/C unit at the breaker before inspecting the machinery or fan assembly.
• Why: This ensures safety and prevents damage while you investigate.

4. Inspect for Obstructions:

• Action: Listen for unusual sounds like clanking. If you hear them, check if a branch, twig, or small critter has entered the fan assembly.
• Solution: Remove any debris carefully, and ensure the area is clear of obstacles.

5. Check for Power Outages:

• Action: Confirm that there hasn’t been a recent power failure.

Before you call

Going through this checklist can help you avoid an unnecessary "Emergency" call. You can also refer to our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page for more details.

• Check your circuit breaker to make sure it has not tripped. If the breaker had tripped and it re-trips when you reset it - then call for repair service.
• Make sure the thermostat is set correctly, switched to "Cool" or "Auto" and leave the temperature setting on low for at least 5 minutes.
• Turn the power to the A/C unit OFF before poking around the machinery or fan assembly!
• If your A/C was running fine and now is making a loud clanking sound, make sure that a Florida critter, branch or twig has not dropped into the fan assembly.
• Don’t laugh at this next one! Have you had a power failure? It happens and sometimes you just don’t realize it...
