AC Won't Turn On

Professional AC Won't Turn On in Asheville & Western NC

An air conditioner that won't turn on at all is a frustrating problem on a hot WNC day. Before calling for service, there are a few quick checks you can do: verify the thermostat is in 'cool' mode with the temperature set below the room temperature, check that the disconnect switch at the outdoor unit is in the 'on' position, and check your electrical panel for a tripped breaker. If those checks don't resolve the issue, call Quality Comfort. The most common professional repairs for an AC that won't start include replacing a failed capacitor (which provides the start-up boost for the compressor and fan motor), replacing a failed contactor (the electrical switch that sends power to the outdoor unit), addressing a refrigerant leak that has triggered a low-pressure safety cutoff, or replacing a failed thermostat or control board. Most of these repairs are relatively straightforward and can be completed the same day.
