Your thermostat/control may be off or set incorrectly.

Recommended Action: Check to make sure your thermostat/control is on and set to cool. Reset to your desired temperature.

Your indoor unit is running but the outdoor unit is not.

I have no heat:

Your gas could be turned off.

My utility bill is unusually high:

If your system is reaching its set point, is it working correctly? Have your local temperatures been extreme lately?

Recommended Action: Check the following: Is your system cycling constantly? Is your thermostat reaching its set value? Do you have any new appliances (e.g., a hot tub or pool heater) that use lots of power? Have you checked to see if your local utility company had a recent rate increase?

If your system is not reaching its set point, please contact us.

My system is constantly running:

Your system could be trying to reach a set point that is too extreme.
