Air Conditioning Service & Repair in Honolulu, HI

1. Check to ensure that your thermostat is set in the "cool" position.

2. Ensure that your outdoor air conditioning (condensing unit) is running:

1. Check the circuit breakers in the circuit breaker box (or electrical panel), most likely mounted to an outside wall in the back of the house. Are they in the "On" position?
2. Check the outdoor unit "disconnect switch" to ensure it is in the "ON" position. The disconnect switch is located near the outdoor unit (typically a grey 8" wide x 16" high x 4" deep box mounted to the wall).

3. An extremely blocked filter can cause your outdoor air conditioner unit to shut down due to a lack of proper airflow.

4. Your filter should be changed every month.

5. Check all return air grilles to ensure they are not blocked by furniture.

6. Check all supply air registers to make sure they are open and blowing air. The return air grilles are normally located on your walls and are wide and flat.

If these simple solutions do not solve your problem, contact American Air Conditioning for repair & service. Be sure to have your brand and model number handy.
