Bartlett Heating and Air Talks About Issues After Power Outages

Power outages can be a real pain! Power outages happen often in summer because of the strain on the power grid from the heavy use of air conditioners. They can also happen due to storms hitting the area. Most of the time when a power outage happens it isn’t a big deal and appliances typically work fine after. Sometimes it can cause issue for appliances including your air conditioner. When your power goes out and comes back on, there are a few things to check if your ac goes out. Fuse and breakers should be checked. Sometimes they are blown or tripped when the power surges. That is a simple fix that only needs you to replace the fuse or flip over the breaker. After you check that the fuse and breaker aren’t the problem go check the power switch. Turn it off and then on again to reset the machine. If they does not restore power, wait 30 minutes and try again. If after switching the power switches and it still does not work try the power circuit. If there are other appliances plugged into the same thing as the air conditioner, unplug them and move them to another place so that the air conditioner is the only thing on the circuit. The last thing you can check is the thermostat. It may have to be reset. Set the switch to ON, set the temperature to lower than the current room temperature, and then set the fan or blower to auto or ON. It after trying all these things and it still is not working call Bartlett Heating and Air and one of our certified technicians will come out and fix it for you.
