Our team is skilled in performing expert diagnosis and reliable repairs for all types of cooling systems, and we do it quickly! Here’s a look at one of the most common air conditioner problems Cincinnati home and business owners face: their air conditioner won’t turn on!

Air Conditioner Won’t Turn On

If your air conditioner won’t turn on, it certainly won’t be cooling your home like you need. Sometimes, this issue can be solved by the homeowner with a little troubleshooting. No power is a common cause of an air conditioner that won’t turn on.

Troubleshooting an Air Conditioner that Won’t Start

Check all the switches and power sources for your system – if a switch is set in the wrong position, that could be your problem. The exterior condenser has a power switch located nearby, check the power switch on your furnace/air handling unit indoors. Check your breakers to see that the one supplying your cooling system hasn’t tripped. Check the thermostat’s power as well, as it’s the “control panel” which tells your cooling system when to turn on.

Professional Fixes

Power issues are common with an air conditioner that won’t turn on. You could have a faulty wire somewhere in the system, and your electrical panel prevents the system from running for your safety. Your cooling equipment may have frosted over or overheated, which triggers the system’s safety controls to shut it down. Or, your thermostat may require replacement. If your troubleshooting doesn’t work, time to call Nelson Comfort for repair.
