There’s nothing more aggravating than turning on your air conditioner and discovering that it is not working. You make sure the thermostat is set to the right settings. You make sure the unit is receiving power. And, it’s still not turning on.

Do you want to know the worst thing you can do for your air conditioner? Attempt to fix it yourself. Too often, we’ll come across a problem that could have been prevented with proper maintenance, repair or installation by a well-trained hand.

If you discover your air conditioner isn’t turning on, here are the next steps you should take:

Pick up the phone and call us at TMS at 860-314-1518. We are always ready to do a great job on your air conditioning services and repairs. We do have a $99 service fee for appointments during normal hours of operation and with that we will perform a thorough inspection of your system and let you know of any issues we find and the quote to fix them for your approval before performing any work. If you think it’s expensive to pay for a quality contractor, just try hiring a hack. You may end up paying a bunch for diagnosis and never receiving an adequate repair.

DO NOT attempt to fix your air conditioner yourself. DIY air conditioner maintenance, repairs and installations can result in significant problems for your air conditioner. Not to mention it can be downright dangerous to go poking around in your unit.

Remember, patience is a virtue. We know it’s easy for us to say when you’re the one hot and uncomfortable in your home. We just ask you understand that we are VERY busy during the summer months and we really do want to get to you as soon as possible. However, it can take up to a few days sometimes to make it to your home. Believe us when we say though that we will ALWAYS be worth the wait.
