Air Filter
A “90 day” filter does not mean your filter will last that long. Every environment is different, so filters should be checked periodically and changed when a layer of dust is noticed. Dirty or high MERV ratings (“expensive filters”) can restrict airflow, resulting in ice build up and a lack of cooling. If you’re unsure, remove the filter and monitor cooling for a day.
Thermostat
Most thermostats have batteries, try replacing them. Also check to make sure the “System/Mode” is set to “Cool” and the temp. is set 3 degrees lower than the room temp. on the thermostat. There is a usually a 5-10 min. delay, so give it 10 mins. to start. *Remember, lowering the set temp more than 2 degrees will not make the unit cool more.
Air Flow
After 15 mins. from when you turned your AC on, find the lowest fully open vent and feel for cool air flow. If there is no airflow, change the Fan settings on the thermostat to “ON”. Check airflow again after 10 min. Limited or no airflow can be the result of dirty filters, dirty evap coil or ice build up on the indoor evap coil. If above changes did not work, see “Let System Rest”.
Reset Breaker
If your comfortable enough, go to your breaker box and turn the AC breaker off for 2 mins, and turn back on. If there are 2 AC related breakers, turn both off for 2 mins.
Turn Off for 1 Hour
If the AC is not cooling or you have limited/no air flow, turn thermostat to “Off” for 1 hour. Motors can overheat and ice can build up on the indoor evap coil if the unit is running for hours at a time. Turning it off will allow motors to cool down and ice to melt.
