- Check Your Thermostat – First, check to make sure that your thermostat is set correctly. You might have knocked into the thermostat through the winter months.
- Change Your Batteries – Check to make sure that if your thermostat requires batteries, that the batter is fresh and your thermostat is working correctly.
- Check the Circuit Breaker – You might have a tripped fuse. Make sure that there is power running to your air conditioning system.
