"What should I do if my AC stops working?"

When your air conditioner suddenly stops working, especially during the Florida heat, it can be stressful. At M&M Heating & Air Conditioning Inc., we understand how important a functioning AC is for your comfort. Here are some quick troubleshooting steps to take before calling a professional.

1. Check Your Thermostat
Ensure your thermostat is set to "Cool" and the temperature is lower than the current room temperature.
Check the batteries if you have a battery-operated thermostat. Weak or dead batteries can cause malfunction.
2. Inspect the Circuit Breaker
Sometimes, power surges can trip the circuit breaker. Locate your electrical panel and check if the breaker connected to your AC is in the "off" position.
If it's tripped, reset it by turning it off and back on again.
3. Examine the Air Filter
A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict airflow, causing your AC to stop working.
Check the filter and replace it if it's dirty—ideally every 1-3 months for optimal performance.
4. Check the Outdoor Unit
Ensure the outdoor condenser unit is free from debris like leaves, dirt, or grass clippings.
Listen for unusual noises or check if the fan is running. If not, it may need professional inspection.
5. Inspect Air Vents
Make sure air vents throughout your home are open and unblocked.
Blocked vents reduce airflow, making your system work harder and potentially shut down.
6. Reset Your AC System
Turn off your AC at the thermostat and circuit breaker. Wait 5 minutes and then turn everything back on. Sometimes a system reset can resolve minor issues.
