AC Repair How to Proceed When Your AC Refused
to Work

• Before going any further, be sure to check that
  the thermostat is set to the "Cool" position. You
  may have problems if your thermostat is set to
  "Heat" or "Off". You should also ensure that the
  thermostat is not set above the room temperature.
  
• Now, check the circuit breaker and ensure that it
  is functioning properly. Any problem with the
  circuit breaker would keep your AC from turning
  on because it controls the condensing unit or
  compression. You should first check the 240-volt
  circuit breaker and then check the 120-volt
  circuit breaker that usually controls the furnace
  blower. They should function properly when in the
  "ON" position.

AC Repair How to Proceed When Your AC Refused
to Work

• If you notice that the circuit breaker is
  tripped, you may have to reset it or even have to
  replace the fuse. A very important thing to bear
  in mind is that sometimes the fuse will blow
  again when you replace it and try to turn your
  air conditioning system on. If that is the case,
  do not try anything different and call a
  technical for AC repair. A fuse that blows again
  usually indicates a more serious electrical
  problem and you should let an expert take care of
  it.
• Be sure to check all the switches around your air
  conditioner. Ensure that those switches are
  turned on this also applies to the external
  safety switch, which you may find next to the
  condensing unit.
• Have a look at the condensate tray because it
  sometimes comes with a sensor switch that can
  turn the AC off when there is water on the tray.
  Remove the water and turn that switch on again.

Two Common Performance Issues Related to AC Repair

1. Many people complain about poor airflow from the
   vents and it could be due to a number of
   underlying problems. A dirty air filter is the
   most common cause, but it could also happen due
   to dirty or blocked ductwork.
2. In addition to poor airflow, many people often
   complain about an air conditioner that fails to
   dehumidify air as efficiently as it should be.
   You may experience this issue when your AC system
   is a bit too large for your house. You may have
   an oversized AC system if you always notice that
   it fails to dehumidify adequately. You experience
   the problem because the system cools the air
   fast, and when it happens, the thermostat gets
   into the action and shuts off the system.

Furnace Repair Help Know What to Do When You
Have a Dead Furnace

• Be sure to check the thermostat carefully,
  especially if it is a programmable one. You have
  to ensure that the switch is not on "Cool" and is
  on "Heat" instead.
• Now, check the temperature setting. It is
  important to ensure the temperature setting of
  the thermostat is higher than the room
  temperature. Usually, it is enough to set the
  thermostat temperature five degrees higher than
  your room temperature. Making this change usually
  makes the furnace work again.
• If you do not get a functional furnace yet, you
  may have to check the program and ensure that it
  displays the right day and time.

Furnace Repair Help Know What to Do When You
Have a Dead Furnace

• Check the thermostat wires carefully and ensure
  that they have no breaks. You are likely to find
  a break here if you have recently done some
  remodelling. Keep in mind that if you find a
  break even in one of those thin wires, the
  furnace may refuse to work. The good thing is
  that you can easily fix the wire though just
  splice it back together and use some electrical
  tape to cover it properly.
• Another issue keeping the furnace from working
  efficiently is that you have a poor battery. In
  many cases, the thermostat setting will change to
  the default if you have a dead battery.
  Therefore, it is better to be on the safe side
  and change the battery.
• The thermostat may cause problems when there is
  dirt and debris in and around it. You need to
  clean it properly and also ensure that it is
  level on the wall.

Maintenance Tips to Avoid Costly Furnace Repair

• Check the burner flames carefully. The color of
  the flames can tell a lot about your furnace.
  Simply turn up your thermostat to turn your
  furnace on. Ideally, the burner flames need to be
  even and blue. Sometimes, you will notice that
  the burner flames are yellow. You notice yellow
  flames when burners are very dirty. While
  checking the flames, ensure that you do not
  breathe on them because the oxygen can make them
  look yellow. If you notice that burners are
  extremely dirty, you can clean them yourself, but
  do not try to do it if you have little knowledge
  about it. Letting a pro adjust the burners is
  always a better choice.
• Try to vacuum the burners to help them work
  perfectly. Be sure to turn off the power do not
  forget to cut the gas supply before you try to
  vacuum the burners. Be sure to vacuum at the back
  of the burners. You can make it easier by using a
  20-inch long drain line simply attach it to the
  vacuum hose to reach those areas. You have to
  vacuum those burners thoroughly and ensure that
  you clean the furnace base as well. While
  cleaning the burners, you should also look for
  the presence of any soot. It usually indicates
  poor combustion.

Maintenance Tips to Avoid Costly Furnace Repair

• Clean the blower carefully. You will have to
  remove it first for which you need to remove the
  bolts. In most cases, you will have to use a
  ratchet to help remove the bolts. Again, if you
  do not have the tools required for cleaning and
  maintenance, it is better to hire a furnace
  repair specialist.
• Replace the furnace filter. It is important to
  change the filter periodically or else the
  furnace will not function as efficiently as it
  should be. Ideally, you should change it every
  1-3 months. A high-quality filter will also help
  protect the blower motor and the blower itself.
  You can also find more expensive filters these
  days, but be sure to refer to the owner's manual
  before you select anything because some
  high-efficient filters are known for restricting
  the airflow that puts unnecessary strain on the
  blower motor.
