It is an unpleasant situation to have your air conditioner broken. If your air conditioner isn't turning on, first check your unit outside to determine if the condenser is running. Make sure that the unit is plugged in and your thermostat is set properly. Sometimes, your thermostat is set to "cool," but the air coming out of your vents isn't cool at all. When this is the case, you might just have a dirty coil. You've actually got two AC coils, one in your outdoor unit and one in your indoor unit. They can get dirty if you don't have your HVAC system serviced on a regular basis. Over time, the system won't be able to remove heat from your home very efficiently. You'll just circulate air that's more or less the same temperature, and you'll never satisfy your thermostat setting. If you aren't changing or cleaning your air filter per the manufacturer instructions, it's probably getting dirty. Over time, filters get so clogged with dust and gunk that they restrict airflow to your HVAC system. That's bad. Without enough airflow, the system can literally freeze up - ice on the coil and everything. It won't cool properly. It is important to note that many common problems with air conditioners can be caused by inadequate maintenance. To help avoid any future issues, we recommend that you get set up on an annual maintenance plan for your heating and cooling systems.
