Summers come and give people a great opportunity to go to the lake or spend hours in a pool. It definitely is a great time to immerse in these leisurely activities. However, when at home on a particularly hot day, time seems incredibly slow because there is nothing much to do – especially if your cooling unit isn’t cooperating and people would rather not spend time in your boiling living space. If your AC is not working, could you bare the thought of spending even a minute in your home?

I think it’s time to call a repairman to fix your air-conditioning system. However, there are things that every AC user must check before placing a call to the repairer.

Below are several things to check before calling an AC repair company:

• Are Air Filters Okay?
• Does it have power to the condensing unit? Check the disconnect.
• Check to make sure your thermostat is calling for cooling and the “fan” selector switch is in auto.
• Check for any tripped breaker or blown fuse.
