Troubleshooting the Five Most Common AC Issues

1: AC NOT TURNING ON – If your air conditioner won’t power up, it could be caused by a tripped breaker, blown fuse, or an issue with the thermostat. First, confirm that the system has power and check your circuit panel for any tripped breakers.

2: POOR COOLING PERFORMANCE – When your AC isn’t cooling like it should, a dirty air filter is often to blame. Clogged filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. Try replacing the filter and double-check that your thermostat is set to “cool” with a proper target temperature.

3: FREQUENT STARTING AND STOPPING – Does your AC kick on and off more than it should? This could point to a system that’s too large for your home or a malfunctioning thermostat. In some cases, it might also be tied to low refrigerant or a dirty evaporator coil.

4: WATER AROUND THE UNIT – If you’re seeing water gather near your AC, a blocked or disconnected condensate drain line could be the culprit. It may also be a sign of an evaporator coil that’s frozen and beginning to thaw.

5: STRANGE NOISES FROM YOUR SYSTEM – Unusual sounds—such as buzzing, hissing, or clanking—often mean there are loose internal components, refrigerant issues, or compressor troubles. It’s best to have a technician diagnose any abnormal sounds promptly.

When in doubt, bring in a licensed professional. AC systems are made up of sensitive and interconnected parts, and safe repairs require the right knowledge and tools.
