What can go wrong?

As the hardest working appliance you’ll ever own, even the best air conditioning system can be prone to problems over time.  The Florida weather (heat, humidity, storms) mixed with an insufficient maintenance program and other factors can cause these common problems:

1. Outdoor unit does not come on at all
2. Circuit breaker trips when the unit is turned on
3. Unit hums but fan doesn’t run
4. Fan runs, but compressor does not
5. Fan and compressor runs, but no cool air enters the home
6. Unit leaks water inside the home
7. Ice forms on the unit and condenser
8. Home has warm spots
9. Unit runs constantly
10. Home gets dusty when the unit runs

For these problems and more, call Simpson Air. In many cases, we can have one of our NATE-certified technicians in your home within hours of your call to investigate and solve the issue. Soon, your air comfort level will be back where you want it!

What simple AC troubleshooting can I do myself?

• Check disconnect switches (indoor and outdoor if you have a split system). Make sure that circuit breakers (in your main breaker panel) are ON or that fuses have not blown.

• Check for sufficient airflow. Make sure air filters are clean and that supply-air and return-air grilles are open and unobstructed.

• Check the settings on your thermostat. If you want cooling, make sure the temperature control selector is set below room temperature and the SYSTEM switch is on the COOL or AUTO position.   If you want heat, make sure the temperature control selector is set above room temperature and the SYSTEM switch is at HEAT or AUTO.   The FAN switch should be set at ON for continuous blower operation or AUTO if you want the blower to function only while the unit is operating.
