The first thing you should do if your HVAC system is not working properly is to check the thermostat. Make sure that it is set to the correct temperature and that the batteries are fresh. If the thermostat is not the problem, then you will need to check the air filters. Dirty air filters are a common cause of HVAC problems. If your air filters are dirty, replace them with new ones and see if that fixes the problem.
Another common cause of HVAC problems is a clogged drain line. The drain line carries away condensation from your unit, so if it’s clogged, water can back up into your unit and cause all sorts of problems. To clean a clogged drain line, simply pour a cup of bleach down the line and then flush it with a garden hose.
If your unit is still not working properly, you may have a more serious problem such as a faulty compressor. If this is the case, you will need to call a professional for help. However, if you follow these troubleshooting tips, you should be able to fix most HVAC problems yourself!
