AC Season Is Here! How's Your Old AC?

by J&J on April 25, 2025

Yesterday's unexpected 84° temperature in Northeast Ohio served as a sudden reminder of the importance of a functioning air conditioning system. As residents sought relief from the heat, many discovered their AC units weren't up to the task. At J&J Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, we understand the urgency of restoring comfort to your home.

Common Reasons Your AC Isn't Cooling

Thermostat issues. Ensure your thermostat is set to "cool" and the temperature is set lower than the current room temperature. Dead batteries or faulty wiring can also prevent proper operation.

Clogged air filters. Dirty filters restrict airflow, reducing efficiency and cooling capacity. Regularly replacing or cleaning filters can prevent this issue.

Tripped circuit breakers. Power surges or overloads can trip breakers, cutting power to your AC unit. Check your electrical panel and reset any tripped breakers.

Refrigerant leaks. Low refrigerant levels due to leaks can hinder cooling. Only certified technicians should handle refrigerant issues.

Dirty condenser coils. Outdoor units can accumulate dirt and debris, impeding heat exchange. Cleaning the coils can restore efficiency.

When your AC unit breaks down at the most inconvenient moment, you can trust our emergency air conditioning repair service for timely solutions.

Preventative Measures

• Schedule Regular Maintenance: Annual HVAC check-ups can identify and address potential issues before they escalate.
• Inspect Ductwork: Leaky or blocked ducts can compromise cooling. Ensure ducts are sealed and unobstructed.
• Clear Surrounding Debris: Keep the area around your outdoor unit free from plants, leaves, and other obstructions.
