AC Won't Turn On?
If nothing happens when your air conditioner should be running, an HVAC professional can evaluate the system and explain what they find.
What this usually looks like
- The system does not start when the thermostat calls for cooling
- The thermostat screen is blank or unresponsive
- The indoor fan runs but the outdoor unit does not
- It started after a power interruption
Many causes are possible
A system that will not start can point in a number of directions. We do not recommend opening equipment panels, working near electrical supply, or resetting internal components. A qualified professional can evaluate it safely.
Helpful information to have ready

- Whether the problem is constant or comes and goes
- When you first noticed it
