Not Professional Advice
Our articles on air conditioner troubleshooting, maintenance and buying decisions are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a licensed HVAC technician or electrician. Every system, model and installation is different, and manufacturer instructions should always take priority over general guidance.
Safety First
Air conditioners and heat pumps use high-voltage electricity, pressurized refrigerant and moving parts. Before attempting any repair:
- Switch off power at the thermostat and the breaker or disconnect before opening any panel.
- Never handle refrigerant yourself. In the United States, refrigerant work requires EPA Section 608 certification.
- Stop and call a qualified professional if you notice burning smells, sparking, gas odors or damaged wiring.
- Check whether a repair could void your manufacturer or installer warranty.
