If your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbenergy.com\/air-conditioning\">Springfield, VT\u00a0home\u2019s air conditioner<\/a> won\u2019t turn on, don\u2019t sweat it. There are many possible causes for this, and most can be repaired quickly, easily and cheaply by a professional. The technicians here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbenergy.com\/about\/contact\">HB Energy Solutions<\/a>\u00a0have put together a list of likely culprits as to why your AC won\u2019t start up.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Start with the basics: Is your air conditioner on? It sounds silly, but if you\u2019re not familiar with a new machine or thermostat it\u2019s a good place to start. Make sure the thermostat is switched to \u201ccool\u201d and that the temperature is set lower than that of the room.<\/li>\n<li>Electrical problems: Your home cooling system\u2019s power supply is not as simple as plugging it into a wall outlet and flipping a switch. There are a lot of electrical components to check. Blown fuses or tripped breakers, outdoor service switches, and switches in the system by the air handler may be the cause of your AC\u2019s power problem.<\/li>\n<li>Wiring damage: Having your AC\u2019s compressor unit outside allows you to enjoy a quiet cooling system, but it also puts some wiring in an occasionally rough environment. In addition to indoor wiring, make sure that all outdoor wires and cable are attached and undamaged.<\/li>\n<li>Condensate overflow: This is another simple solution to what seems like a big problem. Many air conditioners will have a condensate overflow pan in addition to a drainage system. If this pan is nearing capacity, it can flip an automatic shut-off switch to your system. Getting your AC running may be as simple as dumping a tray of water.<\/li>\n<li>Refrigerant problems: A slightly more serious problem, but still easily resolved with the help of a professional, are refrigerant leaks. If your system\u2019s refrigerant is low it may cause your system to ice up and cease performing. A professional technician will check your refrigerant charge and, if necessary, recharge it. This may have your AC back in action in no time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hope this information has been useful and put your mind at rest. An AC that won\u2019t turn on is not always a broken AC.
