What AC Best Fits My Home With My Lifestyle?

However, not all brands are made the same, so our professionals suggest that you do your research to figure a few that you would like, and our experienced professionals can assist in getting you the perfect system for your lifestyle.
Why won’t my AC turn on?
Initially, you should check the breaker box in your home if your AC isn’t turning on. More often than not, a breaker can be tripped or switched off; open the box and reset the switch., To do so, make sure to flip the switch off and then flip it back on. If you notice that the breaker is working but your A/C will not turn on, you should check to see if the batteries in your thermostat need replacing. Additionally, while doing this step, make sure that no battery acid is leaking into your thermostat. If everything is clean, replace the batteries and see if the screen lights up. If you have done each of these steps and your A/C still won’t turn on, contact a professional at Upper Arlington Heating & Air to help diagnose your issue.
Why Does My AC Keep Freezing Up?
Many different reasons could cause your AC unit to freeze up. First and foremost, check the air filter in your AC. If the air filter is dirty, it can restrict the flow of air that comes through your system. The low flow of air across the evaporators can cause ice to form on your AC unit. Moreover, like any other type of technology, your AC is at risk for impending issues and problems like a compressor failure, motor failure, or a refrigerant leak. If any of these problems are not approached right away, it can result in a full system breakdown. If you are still experiencing issues even with a clean air filter, it is best to have an expert run a diagnostic to diagnose the problem
.
Why Can I Not Feel Any Air Blowing Through My AC?
If you cannot feel any air blowing through your A/C, as stated before, the first thing to do is to check the batteries located in your thermostat. If your thermostat doesn’t have batteries or you have already changed the batteries, then you should check your breaker box. The best thing to do is to switch all of the breakers off and on, one at a time allowing all the electricity within your home to reset. However, if flipping the breaker switches does not resolve the issue, you may need to replace equipment or invest in a new AC system. To determine your next steps contact a certified technician to inspect your air conditioning system.
