Air Conditioning Troubleshooting New Berlin

Sometimes you don't need to call for repairs on your Air Conditioning system, try these troubleshooting ideas first. 


  • Is your thermostat set in the "cool" position (or “warm” for winter heat pump operation)?

    • If so, is your outdoor air conditioning or heat pump unit running?
    • Did the circuit breakers in the circuit breaker box (or electrical panel) trip to the “OFF” position?
    • Is the outdoor "disconnect switch" on your outdoor unit in the "ON" position? (The disconnect switch is usually a small metal grey box mounted on a wall near the outdoor unit.)
    • Is the blower motor in your furnace or air handler running when your thermostat is activated? (Make sure the furnace switch is in the "ON" position.)
    • Have you changed your filter? (A blocked filter can cause your unit to shut down due to lack of proper airflow.)
    • Are the air registers (supply or return ducts) plugged?
