FAQs
There’s a lot to know about maintaining, repairing, and installing cooling systems in Northeast Minneapolis. The better you understand them, the easier it is to make informed decisions when situations arise. The following are some common AC questions that clients ask our professional technicians.
What Should I Do if My Air Conditioner Won’t Turn On?
If your air conditioner won’t turn on, review your electrical panel and see if the circuit breaker tripped. Switch it to the “on” position if it’s currently in the “off” position. Run your AC and assess the system to determine if it works properly. If the breaker trips again, leave it alone and call us immediately. Its inability to stay in the “on” position means there’s either an electrical problem or a problem with the AC itself.
What Are Some Signs I Need a Fast AC Repair?
Certain AC repairs are more urgent than others. However, if it’s incredibly hot out and your air conditioner isn’t working at all, it’s important to call us immediately for your safety. You should also contact us if you notice a musty or burning odor coming from the appliance. The former may indicate the presence of mold while the latter could be a sign of an electrical issue. Additionally, a consistently tripping breaker could be a sign of a dangerous electrical problem that requires prompt attention.
How Often Do I Need to Replace My AC?
An AC typically has a life span of 15 to 20 years. If it’s near or past that age range, consider replacing the system to prevent a complete breakdown and being without reliable cooling.
