In the humid heat of Florid an unexpected AC breakdown is more than just an inconvenience—it can quickly make your home uncomfortable or even unsafe. When your air conditioner stops working, don’t panic. Some issues can be fixed with a bit of troubleshooting. But when that doesn’t cut it, it’s time to bring in the experts.
We want to empower homeowners to take quick action when their AC fails—and know when to call in the Peaden Pros for AC repair.
First Things First: Troubleshooting Your AC
Before you assume the worst, it’s worth checking a few common issues that may be causing your air conditioner to shut down.
1. Check the Thermostat
Make sure your thermostat is set to “Cool” and that the temperature is set below the current room temperature. Also, check that the batteries (if applicable) are working and that the display is on.
2. Inspect the Circuit Breaker
Sometimes a tripped circuit breaker can cut power to your AC. Head to your electrical panel and see if any breakers have flipped. If the AC breaker has tripped, try resetting it once. If it trips again, do not continue resetting it—that’s a sign you need a professional.
3. Replace the Air Filter
A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict airflow, causing the system to overheat or shut down. If it’s been a while since your last filter change, replace it and see if that solves the problem.
4. Check the Outdoor Unit
Ensure the outdoor condenser unit is not obstructed by debris, grass, or other objects. Proper airflow is essential for your system to function efficiently.
When It’s Time to Call the Peaden Pros
If the simple fixes above don’t restore cooling, or if you notice any warning signs below, it’s time to call in professional help. Here’s when only a trained Peaden Pro can get your system back on track:
1. AC Won’t Turn On At All
If your system remains completely unresponsive, even after checking the thermostat, breakers, and filter, there could be a major electrical or mechanical issue. Don’t risk your safety—let a Peaden Pro diagnose and repair it.
2. Strange Noises or Smells
Grinding, banging, or buzzing noises can indicate problems with internal components like the compressor or motor. Burning or musty odors may suggest overheating or mold buildup. Either way, these are serious signs that require professional attention.
3. AC Blows Warm Air
If your AC is running but only delivering warm air, the problem could lie with the refrigerant levels, a failed compressor, or a malfunctioning thermostat. These issues are complex and require licensed expertise to resolve.
