Losing AC during a heatwave can quickly become uncomfortable and even unsafe. Acting quickly and taking the right steps can help protect your system and get your cooling restored faster.
Here is what to do:
– Turn off your AC to prevent further damage
– Check your thermostat settings and replace batteries if needed
– Inspect your circuit breaker to see if it has tripped
– Make sure your air filter is not completely clogged
– Avoid repeatedly turning the system on and off
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it is best to call for professional service right away.
