FAQs
▶Should I turn my AC off if it’s frozen?
Yes—turn cooling off and run the fan to help thaw. A frozen coil usually needs airflow or refrigerant diagnosis before you run it again.
▶Why is my AC running but blowing warm air?
Common causes include thermostat settings, restricted airflow (dirty filter), a frozen coil, or outdoor unit issues like a bad capacitor.
▶What’s safe for me to check before calling?
Thermostat mode, air filter, breakers, and whether the outdoor unit is running are safe checks. Avoid opening electrical panels or touching wiring.
▶Is water around my unit normal?
Some condensation is normal, but pooling water or repeated drainage issues may indicate a clogged drain line or freezing problems.
▶When should I stop troubleshooting and call?
If you smell burning/electrical odor, breakers keep tripping, you see ice repeatedly, or the unit won’t turn on—call a professional.
