A few safe checks can rule out a simple setting problem. If they don't fix it, call us. HomePros offers 24/7 emergency AC repair in Cape Coral with no overtime fees, and you get the price before any work begins.
1. Check the thermostat
Make sure it's set to Cool, the temperature setting is below the room temperature, and the display is on. If the screen is blank or the settings were already right, it's time to call.
2. Look, but don't open anything
If you notice water pooling near the indoor unit, a burning smell, or loud grinding or buzzing, stop troubleshooting. Turn the system off at the thermostat only if you can reach it safely from a dry area. Stay away from standing water near electrical equipment. If there is smoke or fire, leave the area and call 911. Don't open panels or attempt repairs; leave that to a trained HVAC technician.
3. Look after anyone at higher risk
Heat affects older adults, infants and young children, pregnant people, and anyone with a chronic health condition more. Help them reach an air-conditioned place while service is arranged. If someone shows signs of a heat-related medical emergency, call 911 first.
When you call, it helps to tell us what you're noticing, when it started, and what the thermostat shows. Tell us the system's brand if you know it; we repair every brand.
