What You Can Do While Waiting for Service

If your air conditioner isn’t working and you’re waiting for our technician to arrive, there are a few simple things you can safely check that may help restore cooling — or at least prevent further issues.

Check the thermostat
Make sure it’s set to “cool” and the temperature is set lower than the current room temperature.

Check the circuit breaker
A tripped breaker can shut your system down completely. Reset it once and see if the system restarts.

Replace a clogged air filter
A severely dirty filter can restrict airflow and cause the system to stop cooling properly.

Clear debris from outdoor unit
Leaves, grass, or yard debris around the condenser can block airflow and reduce cooling performance.

If these steps don’t restore cooling, don’t worry — our technician will handle the rest. Call Alliance Heating & Air for fast, same-day AC repair across Connecticut.

What Your AC Problem Usually Means

If your air conditioner isn’t working properly, the specific symptoms you’re seeing often point to the type and severity of the problem — and how quickly it can likely be repaired. While only a full diagnostic can confirm the cause, here’s what some of the most common AC issues usually mean for homeowners in Fairfield County and Westchester County:

AC is running but not cooling
Often caused by low refrigerant, a failed capacitor, compressor issues, or airflow problems. Many of these are commonly repaired the same day.

Weak or inconsistent airflow from vents
Usually points to a failing blower motor, dirty coil, duct restriction, or electrical issue. These problems are common in older homes and are frequently repairable.

System won’t turn on at all
Commonly related to electrical failures, control board issues, thermostat problems, or a tripped safety switch. These are rarely total system failures.

AC keeps turning on and off repeatedly (short cycling)
Often caused by overheating components, airflow restrictions, refrigerant problems, or electrical faults. Left unaddressed, this can damage major parts.

Strange noises or burning smells
Can indicate failing motors, loose internal components, or electrical shorts. These issues should be inspected immediately to prevent further damage.

Water leaking around the indoor unit
Usually caused by a clogged condensate drain, frozen coil, or broken pump. This is very common and often a simple repair.

If your AC is showing any of these symptoms, our local technicians can diagnose the issue quickly and restore your cooling as fast as possible with same-day and emergency AC repair across Fairfield County and Westchester County.

Possible outcomes after diagnosis:

  • A same-day repair restores cooling
  • A temporary repair stabilizes the system until a permanent fix
  • A recommendation for replacement if repair isn’t cost-effective

No pressure. No surprises. Just clear answers and professional service.
