Troubleshooting Common Air Conditioning Issues
The following issues are common reasons Columbus, OH, area homeowners call for air conditioning repairs. Learn what troubleshooting steps you can try before you contact us for AC repairs.
- Make sure your thermostat has power – replace batteries, and reset the circuit breaker if necessary. Verify correct settings – a system set to COOL, a temperature set lower than the current room temperatures, which should trigger a cooling cycle.
- Check power sources to the AC unit – check the circuit breaker and reset tripped breakers if applicable, check ON/OFF switches on or near indoor and outdoor units, and reset if needed.
- If your air conditioner still won’t turn on, contact Buckeye Heating, Cooling & Plumbing for air conditioning repairs.
- Your air conditioner may feel like it’s spitting out warm air if the fan is left to run in between cooling cycles – the air conditioner isn’t making the warm air, it’s just the fan circulating the warmer air sitting within the ducts. At the thermostat, make sure the system fan is set to AUTO so it only runs with the air conditioner.
- Broken or damaged ducts could cause warm air to enter the duct system, making the air that comes out of your vents warmer than expected. If you can access the ducts, look for damage and repair problem areas. If you cannot access the home’s ducts, call for an inspection.
- Low refrigerant can cause an air conditioner to produce warmer air. Call Buckeye so our technicians can find and fix refrigerant leaks as well as recharge your system.
- Blocked registers can cause uneven cooling. Check the registers and vents in each room – make sure their louvers are open if applicable and the vent or register is unblocked.
- Leaking ducts can also cause uneven cooling. Call Buckeye to inspect and seal your ducts.
- Screeching sounds can be caused by worn motor bearings or belts.
- Rattling and buzzing can be caused by loose parts within the system.
- Repeated clicking can indicate a relay problem.
- Screaming noise when the system starts for about 10 to 15 seconds indicates a possible compressor pressure issue.
- If your system makes any new and unusual noises, shut it down and call us for air conditioner repairs.
- The fan in your outdoor unit is called the condenser fan. It runs to move air through the unit to keep things cool and help with the heat transfer process. If the fan motor does not turn, the system’s compressor may be overheated. Turn off your air conditioner and allow it to cool down before starting the system again.
- Frozen evaporator coils disrupt HVAC function, causing inadequate cooling. Obstructions impeding direct coil contact hinder efficiency. Reduced airflow prompts coil icing, leading to inefficient cooling or system failure. Optimal airflow is crucial for preventing coil freezing and ensuring effective operation of your air conditioning system. Regular maintenance helps avoid such issues and ensures peak performance.

Hiring a Contractor for Columbus Air Conditioning Repairs
When your air conditioner requires repairs, you’ll need to hire a local cooling contractor. Selecting the right company often feels like a big task – Buckeye makes it a bit easier on you, sharing what to do when you need to find an air conditioning contractor.
- Ask for recommendations: Ask local friends and family if they have a preferred cooling contractor. Ask about their positive and negative experiences working with different local companies.
- Research contractors: Look up information on contractors you may be interested in working with. See if they are licensed, what certifications they have, how long they’ve been in business, their customer service philosophy, and other factors you consider important.
- Check reviews: Look at a company’s online reviews with scrutiny. Look at both positive and negative reviews as well as how the company responds to them, to see how the company approaches customer complaints.
- Ask about fees: Contractors typically charge a service or diagnostic fee for repairs. Ask companies what it will cost to have them come look at your unit, how much it costs to diagnose the system, and if this fee is put towards your repairs should you hire the company.
