The First 15 Minutes: Homeowner Protocol

What you do before our truck arrives can prevent a bigger breakdown.

1. Power Safety
2. Airflow Check
3. Thermostat Reset
4. What NOT to Do
Protocol Focus · Minute 0–5

Check the Breaker Before Anything Else

A tripped breaker is one of the most common reasons an AC unit stops entirely. In a Heights bungalow, the panel is often in a hallway or kitchen; check the breaker labeled for your HVAC or condenser unit before anything else.

Outdoor unit: Check the disconnect box mounted beside the condenser.
Indoor breaker: Reset once — if it trips again immediately, stop and call us.
Thermostat: Confirm it is set to Cool and the temperature is below room temp.

Heights AC Reality

Retrofitted Ductwork: The Heights' Biggest AC Headache

Most Heights homes were built before air conditioning existed, so the ductwork was added later, often through tight attics and old wall cavities. The result is a system that can cool the downstairs fine while the upstairs stays warm, or a home where one room never gets comfortable no matter what the thermostat says. Before replacing a system in a Heights home, we check the ductwork first, because a new condenser on bad ducts is money wasted.
