What Can Cause Air Conditioner To Stop Working?

There are a few different things that could cause your air conditioner to stop working. It could be something as simple as a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. Or, it could be something more serious, like a problem with the compressor or the evaporator coils. If your air conditioner is having trouble starting up, it’s likely due to one of these four issues.

  1. Blown Fuse or Tripped Circuit Breaker
    One of the most common reasons for an air conditioner to stop working is a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. This is usually caused by a power surge when the AC unit turns on. To fix this, simply replace the blown fuse or reset the breaker.

  2. Compressor Problem
    Another common issue is a problem with the compressor. The compressor is responsible for circulating refrigerant through the AC unit. If the compressor isn’t working properly, it can cause the unit to stop cooling properly. In some cases, the compressor may need to be replaced.

  3. Evaporator Coil Problem
    The evaporator coils are responsible for absorbing heat from the air inside your home. If the coils are dirty or frozen, they won’t be able to do their job properly. This can cause the AC unit to stop working. To fix this, you’ll need to clean or replace the coils.

  4. Refrigerant Leak
    Another possibility is a refrigerant leak. Refrigerant is what helps the AC unit cool the air. If there is a leak, the AC unit won’t be able to cool properly. To fix this, you’ll need to have the leak repaired and then recharge the AC unit with refrigerant.

If you’re having trouble with your AC unit, it’s best to call a professional for help. Our technicians at Accurately Controlled Environments will be able to diagnose the problem and get your AC unit up and running again in no time.

ACE was recommended to me by a friend when I was looking to have my system replaced. Everyone that I  dealt with, from Karl in the office to Fred and Mike, who installed our new system, was very professional and they went the extra mile to provide great customer service.  If you are looking for an HVAC company that is honest, reliable, and worth calling first , this is the one.

I can't express enough how much I appreciate ACE. They were so prompt with their responses and work. They did an absolutely amazing job with our two AC units. The customer service they provided was beyond what I am used to. I plan on being a lifelong customer of theirs. Feels great to have trustworthy people in this business especially since I am a first time homeowner and new to the area.

Great team. Provided honest feedback of the problem and took care of the issue. Company was recommended by my neighbor as a "trustworthy" business which is never easy to come by. Should the need arise I will only reach out to these guys.

Alex Z.

I converted from total electric to gas in 2014 using ACE.  Eric could not have been more patient, informative, knowledgeable and helpful during the conversion.  I was very pleased with the work that was done.  Since that time i have used ACE's maintenance plan.  When I call the office to make my appointment, I am always treated as an individual and not just an address that has to be serviced.

Sharon M.

We have been using ACE for over 8 years and have always found them reliable, knowledgeable, reasonable and friendly. They have installed a/c units and a humidifier in our home and we also have a service contract with them. It is convenient and keeps our systems running smoothly. I would highly recommend them.
