You’re in the middle of a heat wave and you wake up sweaty in your bed. The first thing you think is, “Why in the world has my air conditioner not kicked on?” Of course, you don’t want to find yourself in a scenario like this where it feels like you’re doomed to suffer until morning to schedule AC repair, but there are a couple things you can inspect, as well as a handful of things you can do, to stay ready and prep for a scenario like this.
Before You Experience Problems:
- Air conditioner service. Warm nights and AC repair can’t always be avoided, but having annual air conditoner service completed can help you have a better chance at averting a toasty morning.
- [Compile|Pull together|Gather]21] fans. Create some room in a closet, drawer or another handy area for fans and any number of other accessories to keep you cooler while your air conditioner isn’t working. It may seem bothersome or unnecessary now, but it will be a relief when you need it most.
After You Suspect Your Air Conditioner Quit Working:
- Check the circuit breaker. There’s a chance that the breaker to your air conditioner might have been tripped by a power surge or for a different reason. If this is the case, flip the breaker back on and you could be set. If the breaker is turned off and you have switched it back on but your air conditioner still isn’t working, give us a call to arrange an appointment for AC repair.
