Good Air Inc Engineer gives advice on what NOT to do if your HVAC system breaks down.

Updated: Mar 8



When your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system breaks down, it can be a stressful situation. However, there are certain things you should avoid doing in such a situation:


1. Don't Panic: While it can be uncomfortable when your HVAC system stops working, especially in extreme weather conditions, it's important not to panic. Make sure to check if the problem is something simple like a tripped circuit breaker or a thermostat set at the wrong temperature.


2. Avoid DIY Repairs:

Unless you are a trained HVAC technician, avoid trying to fix the problem yourself. HVAC systems are complex and require professional knowledge to repair. Attempting to fix the system yourself could potentially cause more damage and even pose safety risks.


3. Don't Ignore the Problem:

If your HVAC system is not working properly, don't ignore the problem in the hope that it will resolve itself. It's important to address HVAC issues promptly to prevent further damage and higher repair costs.


4. Don't Choose the Cheapest Repair Service: While it may be tempting to go for the cheapest repair service, it can end up costing you more in the long run if the technicians are not properly trained or if they use substandard parts. Always choose a reputable, licensed HVAC repair service.


5. Don't Run the System:

If your HVAC system is not working properly or making unusual noises, don't continue to run it. This could cause further damage. Turn it off and call a professional.


6. Avoid Repeatedly Resetting the Breaker:

If the circuit breaker to your HVAC unit keeps tripping, don't keep resetting it. This is usually a sign of a larger problem that needs professional attention.


7. Don't Neglect Regular Maintenance:

Regular maintenance can prevent most HVAC breakdowns. If your system has broken down, ensure regular maintenance once it's up and running again.


Remember, when your HVAC system breaks down, the best course of action is to call a professional HVAC repair service like Good Air Inc. We provide reliable, efficient, and prompt HVAC repair services to ensure your system is back up and running as soon as possible.
