Troubleshooting

AC Blowing Warm Air? 7 Causes and What to Do

An AC that blows warm air is most often caused by a wrong thermostat setting, a clogged air filter, a tripped breaker for the outdoor unit, or a dirty outdoor coil. If those check out, the likely cause is a failed capacitor or contactor, or a refrigerant leak, and those need a licensed technician.

Troubleshooting

AC Frozen? Ice on the Lines or Coil: Causes and Fixes

An AC freezes when the indoor coil gets too cold, usually from low airflow (dirty filter, closed vents, weak blower) or low refrigerant from a leak. Turn cooling off and run only the fan to thaw it, replace the filter, and if it freezes again, call a technician to check airflow and refrigerant.

Troubleshooting

AC Leaking Water Inside the House? Causes and Fixes

An AC leaking water indoors is usually caused by a clogged condensate drain line, a cracked or rusted drain pan, or a frozen coil that is melting. Turn the system off, check the drain line and float switch, and call a technician if the pan is damaged or the leak continues.

Troubleshooting

AC Not Turning On? 6 Causes and Easy Checks

When an AC will not turn on, start with the thermostat (mode, setpoint, batteries), then the breakers, the outdoor disconnect, and the condensate float switch. If power and settings are fine and nothing starts, the problem is likely a failed control board, transformer, capacitor, or contactor, which a technician should test.

Troubleshooting

AC Outdoor Unit Humming but Fan Not Spinning? Causes

When the outdoor unit hums but the fan does not spin, the most likely cause is a failed run capacitor, followed by a seized fan motor or a stuck contactor. Turn the AC off right away to protect the compressor, clear any debris, and call a technician, because capacitors hold a dangerous charge even with the power off.

Troubleshooting

Furnace Blowing Cold Air? 7 Causes and What to Check

A furnace that blows cold air is often just set to fan On instead of Auto, or the burners shut off after a few seconds because of a dirty flame sensor, a clogged filter, or an ignition problem. Check the thermostat and filter first. If the burners do not light or keep shutting off, call a technician.

Troubleshooting

Furnace Turns On Then Shuts Off? Short Cycling Causes

A furnace that turns on and shuts off quickly is short cycling, usually because of a clogged filter causing overheating, a dirty flame sensor, a blocked vent or intake, or a thermostat problem. Replace the filter and check the thermostat first. If it keeps cycling, a technician should check the safety switches and venting.

Troubleshooting

Heat Pump Blowing Cold Air in Heat Mode? Causes

A heat pump that blows cool air in heat mode may simply be in defrost mode, which is normal and lasts a few minutes. If it blows cold air for a long time, check the thermostat mode and filter, then call a technician for possible reversing valve, defrost control, or refrigerant leak problems.

Troubleshooting

Mini Split Blinking Light or Not Cooling? What It Means

A blinking light on a mini split is usually an error code, a filter reminder, or a sign the unit is in defrost or startup. Count the blinks, check the remote mode and the filters, and power cycle the unit at the breaker once. If the light keeps blinking or it still will not cool, a technician should read the code and test the system.
