AC not cooling, blowing hot air, or won't turn on? Find out who to call for any air conditioner issue. 1-888-217-8365 Same-day and emergency repair may be available. Call now.
Air conditioners fail in a lot of different ways, and the right response depends on what's actually happening. This page walks through the most common AC problems homeowners run into — from a unit that won't turn on to one that's leaking water — and explains who to call and what to expect for each one. 1-888-217-8365

AC Not Cooling – Who Should I Call?
If your AC is running but the air isn't cold, call a licensed HVAC technician rather than troubleshooting blindly. 1-888-217-8365
This is usually caused by:
Low refrigerant from a leak 1-888-217-8365
A dirty air filter restricting airflow 1-888-217-8365
A failing compressor 1-888-217-8365
A frozen evaporator coil 1-888-217-8365
A technician can pinpoint which of these is actually happening rather than guessing at a fix. 1-888-217-8365

Air Conditioner Stopped Working – Who Do I Call?
A complete stop — no response at all when the system is powered on — is usually related to an electrical or control issue. Call an HVAC repair technician to check: 1-888-217-8365
Tripped breakers 1-888-217-8365
A failed capacitor 1-888-217-8365
Wiring issues between indoor and outdoor components 1-888-217-8365
Thermostat or control-board problems 1-888-217-8365
This isn't something a simple reset typically fixes if an underlying electrical fault remains. 1-888-217-8365

AC Running but Not Cooling – Who Can Fix It?
This is one of the most common calls technicians receive. The system sounds like it's working, but the air coming out isn't cold. 1-888-217-8365
A technician will check refrigerant levels, inspect the compressor, examine airflow, and look for a frozen coil — all common causes behind this specific symptom. 1-888-217-8365

AC Blowing Hot Air – Who Should I Call?
Warm air from the vents when the system is set to cool can point to several issues. A technician can identify which one is responsible. 1-888-217-8365
Common causes include:
Refrigerant leak 1-888-217-8365
Compressor failure 1-888-217-8365
Reversing valve issue on heat-pump systems 1-888-217-8365
Severely restricted airflow from a clogged filter 1-888-217-8365

AC Not Turning On – Who Can Repair It?
If the unit doesn't respond at all — no sound, no lights, nothing — check the breaker first. 1-888-217-8365
If power is confirmed and the system still won't start, call an HVAC technician to check the capacitor, thermostat wiring, control board, and other electrical components. 1-888-217-8365
Outside AC Unit Not Running – Who Do I Call?
If the indoor unit runs but the outdoor condenser doesn't, this typically points to:
A tripped breaker specific to the outdoor unit 1-888-217-8365
A failed capacitor 1-888-217-8365
A faulty contactor relay 1-888-217-8365
A motor that's seized or failing 1-888-217-8365
Call a technician rather than attempting electrical repairs yourself, since outdoor units involve electrical and refrigerant components. 1-888-217-8365

AC Fan Not Spinning – Who Should I Contact?
A fan that won't spin — either the indoor blower or outdoor condenser fan — is often related to a motor or capacitor problem. 1-888-217-8365
Call an HVAC technician, since a stalled fan can cause the compressor to overheat if the system continues running without proper airflow. 1-888-217-8365

AC Compressor Not Starting – Who Can Fix It?
A compressor that won't start is one of the more serious AC issues. 1-888-217-8365
Possible causes include:
Failed start or run capacitor 1-888-217-8365
Electrical problems 1-888-217-8365
Faulty wiring or contactor 1-888-217-8365
Compressor motor problems 1-888-217-8365
A compressor nearing the end of its service life 1-888-217-8365
This repair typically requires a qualified HVAC technician because of the electrical and refrigerant components involved. 1-888-217-8365

Frozen AC Coil – Who Should I Call?
A frozen evaporator coil usually means restricted airflow, often from a dirty filter, or a refrigerant problem. 1-888-217-8365
Turn the system off and allow the coil to thaw, then contact a technician to determine the underlying cause. Running the system while the coil is frozen can cause additional damage. 1-888-217-8365
Air Conditioner Leaking Water – Who Do I Call?
Water pooling near the indoor unit is often caused by a clogged condensate drain line. 1-888-217-8365
Call an HVAC technician for an inspection and repair. If left unaddressed, persistent water leaks can lead to property damage or mold growth. 1-888-217-8365

Central Air Not Blowing Cold Air – Who Can Fix It?
For ducted, whole-home systems specifically, reduced cooling can stem from refrigerant problems, ductwork issues, or airflow restrictions throughout the home rather than a single obvious fault. 1-888-217-8365
A central air repair specialist can diagnose the complete system instead of focusing on only one component. 1-888-217-8365
AC Thermostat On but Unit Not Running – What Should I Do?
Check that the thermostat is set to cool and that the temperature is below the current room temperature. 1-888-217-8365
If the system still doesn't respond, possible causes include dead thermostat batteries, wiring problems, or a malfunctioning control board. If basic checks don't resolve the problem, contact an HVAC technician. 1-888-217-8365

Why Does My AC Breaker Keep Tripping?
A breaker that trips repeatedly usually signals an electrical problem. Possible causes include a failing compressor drawing excessive current, a short circuit, or a wiring issue. 1-888-217-8365
Don't keep resetting the breaker repeatedly. A recurring trip should be diagnosed by a qualified technician. 1-888-217-8365

Heat Pump Not Cooling – Who Should I Call?
Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling, so a cooling issue could involve the reversing valve, refrigerant levels, compressor, or airflow system. 1-888-217-8365
Call a technician experienced with heat pumps for an accurate diagnosis. 1-888-217-8365

Frequently Asked Questions
1. My AC is running but not cooling — is this urgent?
It's worth addressing soon, although it usually doesn't require an emergency call unless conditions are extreme or vulnerable household members are affected. 1-888-217-8365
2. Why does my AC blow hot air sometimes and cold air other times?
This inconsistency can be caused by refrigerant problems, airflow restrictions, compressor issues, or other system faults. A technician can diagnose the cause. 1-888-217-8365
3. Is a frozen AC coil something I can fix myself?
Turning the system off to allow it to thaw is generally a reasonable first step. However, the underlying airflow or refrigerant issue typically requires professional diagnosis. 1-888-217-8365
4. My outdoor AC unit isn't running at all — what's wrong?
Common possibilities include a tripped breaker, failed capacitor, faulty contactor, or motor problem. 1-888-217-8365
5. How urgent is a tripping breaker on my AC system?
Repeated breaker trips should be treated seriously because they can indicate an electrical fault. Avoid repeatedly resetting the breaker and have the system inspected. 1-888-217-8365
6. Can I get same-day repair for a leaking indoor unit?
Same-day service may be available depending on location and technician availability. Indoor water leaks should be addressed promptly to reduce the risk of property damage. 1-888-217-8365
7. Is a heat pump repair different from standard AC repair?
Yes. Heat pumps contain additional components, such as a reversing valve, that require specific diagnostic knowledge. 1-888-217-8365
8. What should I do if my thermostat is set correctly but the AC won't run?
Check the thermostat batteries, settings, and basic power supply. If the issue persists, a technician can diagnose the thermostat, wiring, or control board. 1-888-217-8365
9. How fast can I get emergency AC repair today?
Response time depends on your location, technician availability, and current demand. Emergency calls may receive priority when emergency service is offered. 1-888-217-8365
10. Why does my AC fan sometimes not spin?
A motor or capacitor problem is a common possibility. The issue should be addressed promptly to prevent additional system problems. 1-888-217-8365
11. Is it expensive to fix an AC compressor that won't start?
The cost depends on the actual cause. A capacitor or electrical repair may cost considerably less than replacing a failed compressor. 1-888-217-8365
12. Do you offer a warranty on AC repairs?
Repair warranties vary by service provider and repair performed. Ask about applicable warranty coverage before approving the work. 1-888-217-8365
