Professional AC Repair & Maintenance Services in Des Moines and Grimes, IA – Reliable & Affordable

What Should You Do If Your AC Stops Cooling?

If your air conditioner stops cooling, a few quick checks can help you rule out simple issues before scheduling AC repair.

• Check that the thermostat is set to cool and the temperature is set lower than the room temperature.
• Replace or inspect the air filter if airflow feels weak.
• Make sure the outdoor unit is clear of leaves, debris, or blocked airflow.
• Check the circuit breaker if the system will not turn on.
• Call an AC repair technician if the problem continues, the unit freezes, makes unusual noises, or blows warm air.

If these steps do not restore cool air, Dalton Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electric and Fireplaces can diagnose the problem and recommend the right repair.
