Introduction 🌬️🔧
Your air conditioner keeps your home comfortable, but occasional issues can disrupt cooling efficiency. Before calling for professional assistance, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to identify and possibly resolve common AC problems. If the issue persists, ANG Heating and Air Conditioning is here to help with expert diagnostics and repairs.
Common AC Problems and Solutions
- AC Won’t Turn On 🔌
What You Can Do:
✅ Check the thermostat settings – Ensure the temperature is set lower than the room temperature.
✅ Replace thermostat batteries – If your thermostat uses batteries, weak or dead batteries may cause the issue.
✅ Reset the circuit breaker – If there’s a power surge, your AC’s breaker may have tripped. Try flipping it back on.
If your AC still won’t turn on, there could be wiring issues or a faulty capacitor. Our technicians at ANG Heating and Air Conditioning can inspect electrical connections, repair wiring, and ensure your thermostat is functioning properly.
- Weak Airflow 🌬️
What You Can Do:
✅ Check air filters – Dirty filters restrict airflow. If clogged, replace or clean them.
✅ Ensure vents and registers are open – Blocked vents (due to furniture or debris) can limit airflow.
If airflow remains weak, duct leaks or failing blower motors could be the cause. Our experts can seal air ducts, repair blower motors, and optimize air circulation throughout your home.
- AC Blowing Warm Air ❄️
What You Can Do:
✅ Make sure the thermostat is set correctly – Verify cooling mode is selected.
✅ Inspect the outdoor unit – Dirt or debris around the condenser coils can reduce cooling performance.
If your AC continues to blow warm air, low refrigerant levels, dirty coils, or compressor failure may be the issue. Our team can check refrigerant levels, clean coils, and perform compressor diagnostics to restore cooling efficiency.
- Frequent Cycling or Short Cycling ⏳
What You Can Do:
✅ Change air filters – Clogged filters can cause the AC to cycle more frequently.
✅ Ensure thermostat placement is correct – If the thermostat is too close to heat sources, it may trigger unnecessary cycling.
If short cycling persists, an oversized unit or faulty thermostat may be the cause. ANG Heating and Air Conditioning offers system sizing assessments and thermostat recalibrations to prevent inefficient cooling cycles.
- Water Leaks or Excess Moisture 💧
What You Can Do:
✅ Check the drain line for clogs – Pour a mix of vinegar and water down the line to clear minor blockages.
✅ Inspect for frozen coils – If your AC is freezing up, turn off the system and allow it to thaw.
Persistent leaks may indicate drain line damage or refrigerant issues. Our specialists can clear drain lines, thaw coils, and repair refrigerant leaks to prevent future water damage.
- Unusual Noises 🔊
What You Can Do:
✅ Listen carefully to identify the type of noise – Rattling, buzzing, or grinding noises can indicate loose or damaged parts.
✅ Inspect the outdoor unit – Remove any debris that may be interfering with fan blades.
If noises continue, loose internal components or mechanical issues may be present. Our technicians can perform detailed system diagnostics and repairs to ensure smooth operation.
