What to Do if Your HVAC System Fails

If your HVAC system suddenly stops working, it can be stressful. But before assuming the worst, you can take a few steps to troubleshoot the issue. Sometimes, a simple adjustment can restore your system, while quick action can prevent further damage in other cases. If your heater or air conditioner starts malfunctioning, making strange noises, or emitting unusual smells, following a basic checklist can help you determine whether you’re dealing with a minor issue or a full-blown emergency.

If your system fails, you can:

• Check the thermostat settings and power supply – Ensure that your thermostat is set correctly and the system is switched to the appropriate mode (heating or cooling). Also, check your circuit breaker to see if a power surge has tripped it, cutting off power to your unit.
• Inspect the air filter for clogs – A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict airflow, causing your system to work harder and potentially overheat. Replacing or cleaning the filter might resolve the issue.
• Listen for unusual noises and note any burning smells – Grinding, banging, or screeching sounds can indicate mechanical failures, while a burning odor might signal electrical issues or an overheating component. If you notice either, shut off your system immediately.
• Turn off the system if it’s sparking, smoking, or leaking – Sparks or smoke from your HVAC unit are serious warning signs that should never be ignored. Similarly, if you detect refrigerant leaks or pooling water around your system, turn it off to prevent further damage and call for emergency service.
