Why Does Your Air Conditioner Stop Working?

There are several common reasons why your air conditioner might stop working. Understanding these can help you prevent costly breakdowns.

Common Causes

• Dirty filters:: Clogged filters restrict airflow and cause the system to work harder
• Refrigerant leaks:: Low refrigerant levels reduce cooling capacity
• Electrical issues:: Faulty wiring or tripped breakers can shut down your system
• Frozen evaporator coils:: Poor airflow or low refrigerant can cause coils to freeze
• Thermostat problems:: Incorrect settings or faulty sensors

Prevention Tips
