As the summer heat intensifies, the last thing you want is for your air conditioning system to fail. Unfortunately, A/C breakdowns can happen at the most inconvenient times, leaving you and your family sweltering in the heat.

Hereโs a comprehensive guide on what to do when your A/C goes out, ensuring you stay cool and comfortable while waiting for professional help.
Immediate Steps to Take
1. Check the Thermostat
Before you panic, ensure that your thermostat is set to “cool” and the temperature is set lower than the current room temperature. Sometimes, the issue can be as simple as an incorrect setting.
2. Inspect the Circuit Breaker
A tripped circuit breaker is a common cause of A/C failure. Locate your electrical panel and check if the breaker for your air conditioning unit has tripped. If it has, reset it and see if the A/C starts working again.
3. Examine the Air Filter
A clogged air filter can restrict airflow and cause your A/C to shut down. Check the filter and replace it if itโs dirty. Regular maintenance of air filters can prevent many common A/C issues.
4. Look for Ice on the Unit
If you notice ice forming on the evaporator coils, it could indicate a refrigerant leak or poor airflow. Turn off the A/C and let the ice melt before turning it back on. However, this is a temporary fix, and you should call a professional for a thorough inspection.
