What to Do When the Air Conditioning Goes Out in Omaha Prior to AC Repair

November 04, 2015

You’re in the middle of a heat wave and you wake up dripping sweat in your bed. The first thing you think is, “Why in the world has my air conditioner not kicked on?” Of course, you don’t want to end up in a scenario like this where it feels like you’re doomed to suffer until morning to set up AC repair, but there are a few things you can inspect, as well as a handful of things you can do, to stay ready and have a plan for a predicament like this.

Before You Experience Problems:

  • Air conditioner service. Warm nights and AC repair can’t always be avoided, but having annual air conditoner service completed can help you avert a toasty situation.
  • [Compile|Pull together|Gather]21] fans. Set aside some room in a closet, drawer or another easy to access area for fans and any number of other accessories to keep you comfortable while your air conditioner isn’t running. It may seem bothersome or unnecessary now, but it will come in handy when you need it most.

After You Suspect Your Air Conditioner Quit Working:

  • Check the circuit breaker. There’s a chance that the breaker to your air conditioner might have been tripped by a power surge or for some other reason. If this occurs, flip the breaker back on and you could be set. If the breaker is flipped and you have flipped it back on but your air conditioner still isn’t running, give us a call to schedule an appointment for AC repair.

No one wants to put up with AC repair in the middle of a heat wave after their air conditioner has stopped working, but the probability is real if you don’t take the proper steps.
