Top 5 AC Problems and How to Fix Them

Top 5 AC problems and how to fix them. I go over five of the most common air conditioner problems and explain what needs to be done to get them fixed. With each AC problem, I reference a few videos for that specific problem that will be helpful in getting it fixed. Whether your air conditioning is not working at all, barely working, not cooling, or half working, there is a good chance that that one of the things I cover in this video is the issue that your unit is having.

Homeowners know they don't have the time or desire to learn enough to work on their AC in 93 degree weather. And if it's a refrigerant problem they have to be EPA certified to buy and work with the refrigerant and will still have to call us. No shortage of money out here cuz of this guy.

    This was a very helpful video. I did not have cold air flow, even though it’s a brand new AC unit, and discovered my air filter was super dirty and stopping the air flow. After changing the filter, it still didn’t cool the house. I did a little more research and found out that if you have a clogged/dirty filter it can cause condensation to freeze. This keeps the air from flowing. So, once I changed the filter, I turned the AC off overnight to let the ice melt and now the AC works perfectly. I wanted to share in case someone else has the same issue. I found ice outside on the AC unit (in the middle of a hot summer day) and it felt like there might be some ice in an air duct.

The AC float switch gives your AC unit the ability to detect if there is a clogged drain line and it shuts the AC off.

    Hey boss, I don't know if it has been said before, but here goes. My particular problem came up with the seasonal change. Wiring my thermostat based on an old thermostat's Y2 label did me no favors. Luckily I remembered the fact that I changed it out before it started warming up. I checked the desired wiring on the thermostat manual and swapped the location of the yellow wire from a Y2 slot to the Y slot. This allowed the outside cooling system to actually engage. Without that simple change, it could have cost hundreds for a technician to find this or replace everything; then hide the fact that it was just one single wire out of place.

    Is it a great service when you go to school and extra classes for certifications, spend years and over $20k to learn the industry and acquire the skills and then have someone come give it all away for free? Service to some but a disservice to the industry. Is he liable if you get hurt or fry out your controls?

    Awesome info! I was searching for a good hour with nothing even close to the symptoms on my A/C, but just a couple of minutes in, as you are building up to the suspense (and I'm like omg he's gonna say the same problem I have any second now!!!), boom! there it is! A bad capacitor!

    Going to be real successful giving away free information! I’m sure the senior mechanics in the industry love this kid. Also just to let all you diy’ers know that failure to do maintenance and opening up your service compartments to access electric for sure will void any warranties you have on your system. Good luck!

    I bought a train air conditioner back in 2019 I had to have the technicians come out two or three times it kept leaking freon and it was not cooling that inside unit could not be fixed so I finally had it replaced that was the only thing that I could do it was made wrong from the factory and it was a train and thank you so much for explaining things on your videos about air conditioners it's real educational and I do enjoy your videos

I was able to tell the repairmen the exact issue, which resulted in a fast fix. I will add and support this channel for future use. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 👍🏾👍🏾

    Yea and as Hvac mechanics we don’t care what clients diagnosis or think what it is. Leave it to the professionals. We don’t tell clients how to do their jobs. Good way to annoy your technician and ensure you pay too dollar
