Trane A/C Does Not Turn On

Air conditioner repair is inevitable. Even the most reliable model will fail sooner or later. There are several tips which will help the owner to extend the life of the air conditioner and avoid many breakdowns. Air conditioners are an integral part of a modern interior. Today they have become a common feature in the home or office. In the summer, they give us the coveted coolness, with the first cold weather, when the heating has not yet been turned on, the split system can heat the room. If a breakdown occurs, we are deprived of the usual comfort. It is crucial to understand that an air conditioner is a very complex piece of equipment that requires regular maintenance and careful handling. Check the settings on your thermostat. Make sure the temperature control selector is set below the current room temperature, and the system switch is on the COOL or AUTO position. The fan switch should be set to ON for continuous airflow or AUTO if you want the blower to operate only while the air conditioner is operating. Try to get the air conditioner to turn on by lowering the thermostat to its lowest temperature setting. If the air flow out of your registers seems low, check the air filter. An extremely dirty air filter can block air flow. Make sure all registers are open and not obstructed. Check the power disconnect switch by each unit (outdoor and indoor). Check the fuse/breaker at the electrical panel for both the outdoor and indoor unit. If you’re not able to get the problem resolved with the above troubleshooting tips, have an experienced HVAC professional investigate further to identify the cause. There are many reasons why an air conditioner may need to be repaired by a Pro. Most often, breakdowns are caused by mistakes made during the installation of the system. Some buyers, having watched the videos on the Internet, want to save money and make mistakes that lead to a quick failure of the air conditioner. There can be many reasons for compressor breakdowns. Most often, the compressor shuts down when it overheats. If you do not clean the outdoor unit for a long time, the radiator becomes clogged with dirt, and the circuit is automatically opened. With regular service, this problem will not occur. Another reason leading to a compressor shutdown is excess refrigerant. To identify a breakdown, you need to measure the resistance, do not forget to turn off the electricity. The pressure needs a check, if it is above the norm, the excess refrigerant is pumped out. The work must be done by professionals. Don't forget about regular maintenance. Entrust the verification to professionals.
