Attic ac unit not working.

See those copper lines going into your hvac system. If your air conditioner is not working and the furnace or air handler is located in your attic you will need to inspect the drain pain located directly underneath the evaporator coil in your air conditioning system. If you are unable to turn your thermostat on check and replace the batteries. This switch could be the problem.

A switch designed to stop your air conditioner from flooding your house with residual condensation. When the ac filters are clogged with dirt hair dust and other debris the airflow through the vents in your home may be reduced decreasing the efficiency of your air conditioning system. If your air handler is in an attic it should have a secondary pan to catch the water in case the primary condensation pan or condensation drain line gets clogged. Underneath your air conditioner is a drain pan which is meant to accumulate any residual condensation that your ac wasn t able to drain out.

And what the heck is it. Typical items that clog condensation lines are algae muck and trash like insulation from the attic. Additionally if the capacitor is shared by the ac compressor as in the case of a dual capacitor your unit may experience further damage since the compressor may overheat. If your ac drain pan is full it may have triggered the float switch.

Simply turn it back on and you should. If the attic fan isn t turning on it could be an electrical issue a problem with the thermostat or the motor of the fan that s not working. If it s blank someone may have turned it off. Do not bypass the safety switch or you could have a huge water mess in your home.

Check the screen on the thermostat. Your attic fan may not be turning on because of an electrical problem like a tripped circuit breaker a blown fuse or a bad connection. This can also happen if the ac filters are blocked by some furniture placed right in front of the system. Where is the evaporator coil.

Attic fan not turning on. We see it happen in attics where someone was moving boxes in and out of an attic and bumped the unit or pan.
