Not every AC complaint is a broken AC. Before assuming the system has failed, it's worth separating a simple airflow issue (a filter that's overdue, a vent that's shut, a coil that's dirty) from signs of an actual equipment failure. The first group costs you a few minutes. The second needs a technician.
What is the AC doing?
Start with the symptom that matches your situation:
- Why Is My AC Running but Not Cooling?
- Why Is My AC Blowing Warm Air?
- Why Is My AC Freezing Up?
- Why Is My AC Leaking Water?
- Why Does My AC Keep Turning On and Off?
- Why Is My HVAC Making a Strange Noise?
Safe checks
Homeowners may be able to check thermostat settings, filter condition, blocked vents, and obvious outdoor-unit obstructions. Do not open energized HVAC equipment.
