No Air Conditioning Emergency Guide

Losing air conditioning during hot Texas weather can quickly become uncomfortable and, in some situations, dangerous. Acting promptly may help keep your home cooler until professional repairs can be made.

What To Do Immediately

  1. Check your thermostat.

    Make sure it is set to Cool and that the temperature is set lower than the current room temperature.

  2. Check your circuit breaker.

    If the air conditioning breaker has tripped, reset it once. If it trips again, do not continue resetting it.

  3. Replace or inspect the air filter.

    A clogged air filter can reduce airflow and may cause your system to stop cooling properly.

  4. Keep your home as cool as possible.

    Close blinds and curtains, keep exterior doors closed, and use ceiling or portable fans to improve air circulation. Stay hydrated and consider relocating to a cooler place if indoor temperatures become unsafe.

  5. Contact a Verified Contractor.

    Find a Verified Local HVAC Contractor through Johnson County Trusted Contractors who can inspect the problem and discuss repair options.
