Is your central air conditioner failing to chill your house at the setting you set on the thermostat? If this is the case, you're undoubtedly irritated and ready to hire a professional to fix your air conditioner.   However, before you do, consider some of our short troubleshooting recommendations. If your air conditioner isn't working, try to see if:

• Your thermostat is turned on.
• Your air filter is clogged up.
• Your outside unit is filthy.
• The circuit breaker in your home has tripped.

  If you've checked for the issues listed above and your air conditioner is still not cooling the home, you're likely dealing with a more serious issue that has to be addressed by a professional.   What to do about it:

• Set your thermostat to AUTO (as shown below) so that air only comes out of your vents when the air conditioner is cooling.
• If your filter is filthy, as seen in the picture below on the right, it's time to replace it with a new one.
• Remove any dirt and use a garden hose to carefully clean the condenser fins. If you use a strong stream, you risk damaging the condenser fins, which enable airflow to cool the refrigerant.
• Check your breaker box to determine whether the breaker for the outside unit has tripped. Turn it on if it hasn't already. Do not reset it if it trips again. This indicates that there is a more serious electrical issue that will need the services of a specialist.

  Show to fix Ac Evaporator: There's a considerable risk that a refrigerant leak will occur on the interior coil of your air conditioner.   This air conditioner component, also known as the evaporator coil, is located within the interior unit of your HVAC system. It is via which the refrigerant travels. It is passed over by air. The heat has been removed from your house, and you've been feeling wonderful all month.   There is no reliable technique to fix the leaks on your own. Evaporator coils are big components with small dips, curves, crevices, and hard-to-see, hard-to-reach parts that live in dark locations. When it comes to discovering leaks, the metaphor of a needle in a haystack applies.   Evaporator coils that leak is a regular issue with air conditioners. They may be rather inconvenient for homes since the lower energy efficiency might raise the cost of operating your air conditioner. Evaporator coils that are leaking might cause damage and need expensive repairs.   How to fix Ac freeze up? Is your air conditioner malfunctioning? It's unusual to see a block of ice on your outside air conditioning system, particularly in the midst of July. However, there are occasions when you can't even see the ice outside.   While you may believe something like this is impossible to happen during the warmest days of the year, air conditioning units freezing in the summer is a common occurrence.   Continue reading if you suspect you have a frozen air conditioner to learn what causes it, what to do if you have a frozen air conditioner, and how to avoid or prevent it from occurring again.   It's critical to know that this can be avoided. To prevent your HVAC system from freezing, follow these steps.   Invest in a new air filter: A clogged air filter is the most common cause of a frozen HVAC system. The air filter purifies the air that enters your house. The filter collects dirt, pollen, dust, and other allergens when your air conditioner operates during the summer.   This may cause airflow to be restricted and the HVAC coils to freeze. We suggest that you check your filter at least once a month. It may be changed as required. For most people, this occurs once every one to three months.   Schedule Regular Maintenance: A yearly air conditioning maintenance service visit is just excellent practice. For your system to work correctly for the summer ahead, the expert HVAC technicians at ARS/Rescue Rooter ensure that all of the following are examined and cleared:  

• Check coolant levels and pressure to make sure your system is running at its best.

  Have an HVAC Airflow Inspection: Airflow obstructions may prevent the coils from adequately cooling, resulting in a frozen AC unit. Blocked vent returns and registers, like clogged filters, impede proper airflow into and out of the system. Without a mechanism to expel the cooled or heated air, your system has to work harder. How to troubleshoot AC not cooling? Is your home's central air conditioner malfunctioning? It could be blowing lukewarm or hot air.   There are a number of reasons why your air conditioner may not be cooling your home adequately.   However, for your convenience, we'll divide the issues between those that you can fix yourself and those that require the services of a professional air conditioning repair technician.   Your air conditioner may have stopped operating for a variety of reasons, including:

• Issues with power
• Problems with the thermostat

A dirty air filter and a damaged condenser coil are the most typical causes of your air conditioner not providing chilly air.   Clean the air filter to see if it helps. If it doesn't work, clean and check the unit's condenser coil on the outside. It may need to be replaced if it is damaged. If the fins are simply bent, straighten them out with a fin comb. This can be all you need to appreciate cool air once more.
