What To Do When Your HVAC Is Not Working
On a 90-degree day in the middle of the summer in North Carolina the last thing you want to happen is your air conditioning to stop working. However, there are ways that you should and should not manage when and if this happens to you.
What You Should Do When Your A/C Goes Out.
When you suspect your HVAC system is not working properly it is always best to turn the system off before any further problems are created. Just like you would pull over and stop driving if your car starts shaking or making a loud noise, it’s best to stop your HVAC unit all together until the problem can be evaluated. Continuing to run your unit when there is a serious problem could cause even further damage.
If your system is running but it is struggling when outside temperatures reach extreme highs in July/August or extreme lows December/January, then this may not qualify to shut it down. However, it does qualify to call the Pro’s to ensure the system is operating as it’s designed in order to have a long life and be efficient.

What NOT To Do When Your A/C Goes Out.
If your air conditioning is still running but not cooling or if it is making a funny sound, you do not want to keep it running until help can arrive. You also do not want to turn the temperature down on your thermostat when your unit is in obvious distress. Performing any of these actions will cause your unit to continue to struggle and put more strain on critical components.
