How Can I Reset My Air Conditioner to Fix Power Issues?

Try a safe reset first. Turn your thermostat to Off, switch the A/C breakers Off, wait 5 minutes, then turn breakers On and set the thermostat to Cool. If power trips again, stop and call a pro to prevent damage.

Quick checks:

• Verify the thermostat has working batteries and correct mode.
• Check the air filter; replace if clogged.
• Confirm the A/C breaker isn’t tripped.
