What to Check Before Calling an AC Repair Service This Summer

When your A/C goes out during Utah’s hot months, you need cool air fast—but sometimes a quick DIY check can save you time and money. Try these simple troubleshooting steps before calling the pros:
1. Swap the Air Filter
A clogged filter chokes airflow and forces your system to work twice as hard. Replace it every 1–3 months to keep things running smoothly.
2. Flip the Circuit Breaker
Sometimes the fix is as easy as resetting a tripped breaker. Check your home panel and flip any HVAC switches off and back on.
3. Inspect Your Vents
Are supply and return vents open and clear? Blocked vents can reduce airflow and make your system struggle.
4. Double-Check Thermostat Settings
Ensure it’s on “Cool” and the temperature is lower than room temp. Replace batteries if needed and recalibrate if it’s been a while.
5. Look for Warm-Air Leaks
Feel around duct joints and hoses. Warm air entering or cool air escaping means your system is wasting energy.
6. Scan for Refrigerant Ice
Ice forming on coils or refrigerant lines means something’s not right. Shut it off and schedule a service call — refrigerant issues require a pro.
7. Listen for Unusual Noises
Buzzing, rattling, or squealing sounds can signal damaged components. If it doesn’t stop after tightening visible parts, give us a call.
