If your air conditioning system is not cooling, it may be time to replace the thermostat. You may also want to check the compressor capacitor, which starts the fan and condenser. If the compressor doesn’t work, you should contact an HVAC technician to come and fix the problem. In some cases, you can even repair the problem yourself.

First, make sure the unit is powered off. If it’s powered on, the compressor motor may be failing. It might make clicking or buzzing noises. This can be caused by a faulty capacitor. If you hear these noises, try pushing the compressor fan with a screwdriver or thin stick. This can damage the capacitor, so replacing the capacitor is the best solution.

If the air filter is clogged, it will cause reduced airflow through the AC, which reduces the efficiency of the system. To replace it, you need to turn the furnace off and find the air filter. Next, buy a new filter of the same rating and size as the old one. The old filter will be labelled with these details. When you remove the old filter, make sure that the arrow on the new filter points toward the direction of air flow in the furnace.

Another cause for a frozen air conditioner is dirty coils and filters. If you can find the problem, you may be able to solve it yourself. Otherwise, you should contact an HVAC technician for professional service.
