Tips for Troubleshooting HVAC System

While regular maintenance and any necessary repairs are left to the professionals, you can do a few things to assist your HVAC system is functioning smoothly and prevent future recurrence.

Reset your air conditioning system.

HVAC system with high performanceOne of the first things to do if something isn’t working is to reset the system. A reset technique varies per furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump.

To discover how to reset the system, consult your owner’s handbook. If you don’t have the manual, look up the system’s model number on the internet.

Replace Your Industrial HVAC Filter 

If your HVAC system isn’t operating as well as it used to, the air coming out of the vents is dusty or damp, or your system hasn’t been serviced in a long time, it’s time for a new filter. Filters that are dirty or old can limit air quality and airflow from your vents.

While you may replace air filters yourself, professional maintenance is recommended. An HVAC service professional will correctly maintain your system and notice any potential problems when changing the filter.

Turn off the air conditioner.

Components can freeze if your air conditioner is turned on for a lengthy period during the warm months, preventing them from chilling properly.

If the air conditioner appears to be cooling, switch it off and turn on the fan for a few minutes before using it again. If this doesn’t work or the problem recurs, it’s time to seek professional help.

Make Sure Your Commercial HVAC system has enough power.

Check your breaker to see if it has flipped or if a fuse has blown. Try turning off the breaker and then on again after a few seconds.

Ensure your furnace door is shut.

When the service door is open, many furnaces have a switch that prevents them from operating. If the furnace isn’t producing any heat, open and close the service door. Check that everything is securely closed before turning the heater back on.

Double Check Your Furnace and Air Conditioning Wires

Wires can get disconnected or damaged. Outside air conditioners are more susceptible to harm by landscaping equipment, which can damage exposed wiring. It can’t hurt to check if your system won’t start. Be cautious while handling any possibly damaged or exposed wires, as they may cause shock.

It’s critical to inspect your vents if specific home areas aren’t getting enough heat or cooling. A duct might close or be covered without your knowledge. Ensure no dirt, dust, or foreign objects in the vents that could block airflow.

Fantastic service! When I called Alliance and explained that my AC wasn't working and I needed it urgently because I take care of my 80-year-old mother, they immediately send their technician to help. The other hvac company in Louisville said it would take at least three days to fix the issue in this triple-digit heat, but Alliance fixed my problem in same day, and now we have cool air again! They are truly a blessing. From now on, whenever I have air conditing issues, I know exactly who to call—Alliance Comfort Systems!
