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.
