1. The Aircon Will Not Turn On

When trying to diagnose issues with your AC, a major concern for homeowners is often the absence of any sound when the air conditioner is switched on. In air conditioning units, a lack of power could stem from a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. In such cases, a simple solution is to replace the blown fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Another potential problem might arise from thermostat issues or loose wiring within the residence.

2. Thermostat Glitches

If the thermostat is incorrectly calibrated or malfunctions, it may not signal the air conditioner to commence its operation. Even when setting the temperature to the lowest setting, if the air conditioner still does not start, it’s advisable to contact a technician.

The technician may need to re-adjust the calibration of the thermostat. In cases where it’s completely non-functional, the best solution is to opt for a replacement. This issue is more common with dial-type thermostats; however, newer programmable thermostats can also present challenges in programming them to start the air conditioner.

When attempting to troubleshoot the thermostat, ensure you have the accompanying manual on hand. This ensures that you can accurately follow the manufacturer’s provided instructions for effective troubleshooting.

3. Low Refrigerant

If you notice a sticky feeling in the air or realize that your home isn’t cooling adequately, it’s important to verify the refrigerant levels. Incorrect levels of refrigerant signify that the unit will struggle to dehumidify and cool the indoor space.

Professional Inspection: Engage a technician to assess and diagnose if low refrigerant is indeed the issue. They can perform pressure tests and identify any leaks in the refrigerant system.

Recharge Refrigerant: If a low refrigerant level is confirmed, the technician will recharge the refrigerant to the appropriate levels, fixing the cooling efficiency and ensuring the AC operates effectively.
