What is the first thing I should check if my AC goes out?

• <div><p>If your AC suddenly stops working, the first thing to check is your thermostat settings. Ensure the thermostat is set to the appropriate temperature and mode (cooling). Sometimes, a simple adjustment or replacing the batteries in the thermostat can resolve the issue. If that’s not the issue, look to see if the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-tell-breaker-tripped.htm">circuit breaker tripped</a>. These basic checks can often identify simple fixes before you need to call for professional assistance.</p></div>

Q: Should I worry about my AC unit getting rained on?

• <div><p>The outdoor portions of air conditioners are designed to weather the rain, so you don&rsquo;t need to worry about it. An awning or roof will help protect them from snow or falling debris, which can do more damage. This is true of both window AC and outdoor units for larger systems.</p></div>

Q: Can I release some of the refrigerant in my AC unit?

• <div><p>No, for two very important reasons. First, it&rsquo;s illegal to release refrigerant into the air or ground since it can be toxic and cause environmental damage. Technicians typically pump old or extra refrigerant into separate tanks for special disposal. Second, without professional equipment to read refrigerant pressure and levels, plus the AC&rsquo;s suggested requirements, it&rsquo;s impossible to know if you&rsquo;ve removed the right amount of refrigerant. Stay away from a DIY solution here and seek an expert with the right tools.</p></div>

Q: What is the AC unit on the roof called?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re shopping around for a rooftop AC unit, you may hear them referred to as &ldquo;package units.&rdquo; That&rsquo;s because rooftop AC systems are all-in-one heating and cooling units that connect directly to your home&rsquo;s ductwork. If your AC repair pro references a package unit, they are referring to the system on your roof.</p></div>

Q: How can you avoid overworking your HVAC system?

• <div><p>Turn your system off when you're toasty or when you're out to prevent unnecessary wear. Using the timer on your thermostat so that it switches off when it reaches a certain temperature or turns on just before you get back from work is best. An annual maintenance contract can be helpful to ensure your system receives these important services at regular intervals.</p></div>

SOS Heating and Cooling did a great job. They were punctual and got our airconditioning fixed in the middle of a heatwave that kept them extremely busy. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends.
