Northern Mississippi’s spring and summer months are notoriously hot, which means you’ll probably crank the AC to keep your space comfortable. Using your air conditioning unit non-stop can lead to common malfunctions, but the professionals at Gary Duncan Service Company know a few simple troubleshooting techniques to restore service. For close to 40 years, the Olive Branch-based company has been providing area residents with a variety of high-quality solutions to improve HVAC system performance. 

Below, they share three common air conditioning unit problems and easy troubleshooting tips to fix them:

• No Cool Air: If the AC unit is running but doesn’t supply cool air, the filter could be dirty. To restore service, first turn off the unit and change or clean the filter. Next, use a fan to melt any ice on the coils. Last but not least, examine the condensate drain and outdoor compressor. Debris can affect performance, so make sure the equipment is clean.
• Unit Won’t Turn On: If the air conditioning unit doesn’t turn on, you could try resetting the system. First, make sure the electrical panel or outlet for the AC is turned on. If it is, reset appliance switches and thermostat settings. Doing this should kick the air conditioner back into gear.
• Water Leaks: Water leaves an AC unit through the air handler. If the drain tube attached to the handler is blocked or installed incorrectly, condensation will build up and lead to leaks. To fix the issue, make sure the tube that carries water away from the unit is tightly secured to the condensate pump.
