How to troubleshoot your Air Conditioner

When the temperatures rise, the last thing you want is a problem with an air conditioner

that won’t turn on.

Or isn’t keeping your home as cool as you’d like.

An inefficient air conditioning system could also lead to higher energy and maintenance

costs over time.

Before you call an expert, there are a number of things you can do to try and determine

what the issue may be.

It may seem obvious, but make sure that your thermostat is turned to COOL.

This is something that can easily get forgotten after the winter season.

Also, if your thermostat uses batteries, check to see if they need to be replaced.

If the unit isn’t turning on at all, go to your main electrical panel and check to see

if the breaker has tripped.

If it has, reset the breaker.

If it immediately trips again once the AC unit is turned on, you should call a licensed

HVAC professional as there is likely an underlying problem with the equipment.

Take a look to see that the outdoor portion of the system is in good repair and that there

isn’t any grass, weeds or other debris that may be clogging the AC condenser.

Over time, this could cause inefficient cooling and higher energy bills.

And make sure that there is adequate space between the AC equipment and any buildings,

foliage or fences to allow for proper air flow.

Your air conditioner relies on the furnace to run even in the summer months.

Listen to your furnace to see if there are any unusual noises that could indicate an

issue with the blower motor or other internal parts.

Also be sure to keep the air filters clean and replace them if necessary.

Check to see that all vents are open and that nothing is blocking them.

If water is leaking from your air conditioning unit, turn it off immediately.

This could be the result of a clogged drain line or an issue with your air conditioner.

If this occurs, it’s time to call in a licensed specialist.

It may sound simple but keeping windows and doors shut while your AC is running can actually

be an effective way to stay more comfortable indoors and make sure that your equipment

isn’t working overtime to cool the warm air that is coming inside.

This will also help to keep your overall energy costs lower.

If you notice that your equipment isn’t cooling your home the way that it used to, or not

at all, it could be a variety of more serious issues like a problem with your refrigerant

level or your evaporator coil.

These problems require opening your system and professional repair that should only be

done by a licensed HVAC technician.

If you need assistance with any of your air conditioning maintenance or repair needs,

Call on Reliance.

What our customers are saying about us in Ottawa

Reliance has been Great

Reliance has been great. From the point of filling out the request online, to dealing with Satish, the sales guy to our 2 installers Dustin and Mark. The process of getting a new Air Conditioner into my home was very easy. Dustin took time to explain the removal of my old unit and the addition of the new unit along side the NEST thermostat. I would recommend Reliance to anyone in the Ottawa area who may be looking for a new air conditioner.

Professional and Helpful

We needed a new water tank, furnace and air conditioner. Every person we have spoken to within reliance have been nothing but professional and helpful. They could have sold us more then what we needed but they didn't. They gave us all the options, asked what our needs were and then let us know what they recommended from those answers. The service people were very polite and answered every question put to them. We are very happy with the services that they provide.

Awesome Job

Shout out to Ryan C and Rob! Awesome job, had the privilege of have couple of great guys install my air conditioner. Work well together, work cleanly, and answered all my question I bothered them with lol. Would recommend them to anyone to work in they're house. Awesome work guys.

AC Troubleshooting

It pays to think about your air conditioner. A little preventive work could help it run more efficiently and extend its lifespan. Here are our top maintenance tips:

Change your Air Conditioner air filter

If your air filter is excessively dirty, it could compromise air conditioner performance.

Keep Air Conditioner coils clean

If dirt collects on coils, your air conditioner could operate less efficiently.

Get regular Air Conditioner Tune-Ups

Tune-ups could help keep your system running efficiently. Plus, a qualified technician could find and repair a problem before it leads to a big repair bill later.
