Question:
I have NO AIR CONDITIONING what can I do?
Answer:
Things to check if you have no air conditioning:
o
Check your circuit breaker or fuse.
o
Outside on the house is a gray electric box. Normally this is a
fuse disconnect which means it needs to be opened, different
brands open differently. Then once inside there is a handle, pull
out, turn it around and you will see two fuses. Check the fuses
and replace them if bad.
o
Check your digital thermostat, it may need new batteries.
o
Keep your outside condensing unit clean: turn off thermostat,
take a garden hose spray the outside unit down for about 2
minutes, or until any debris is washed off. Let dry for 10 minutes, and then turn your thermostat back on.
o
Keep basement registers CLOSED in the summer.
o
If you have a condensate pump, we suggest putting a cup of bleach in the pump once a month, winter and summer.

Answer:
Read our Furnace Maintenance Guide

Things to check if you have no heat:
o
Check the furnace filter, is it clean?
o
Is the thermostat in HEAT mode? If the thermostat is digital, most of them require new batteries every two years.
o
Check circuit breaker or fuse.
o
Is the switch at the furnace on?
o
If you had the blower door off, most furnaces require the blower door to be in place correctly. If the blower door is ajar the blower
door switch will not allow the furnace to run.
o
If you have a 90+ high efficiency furnace and it is very cold out or very snowy you may want to check the 3” PVC pipes that go
outside, see that they are unobstructed of snow, ice, paper cups, wasp nests, GI Joe action figures or anything else that may be in
there.
Air Conditioner Testimonial
My air conditioning was not working and when I looked for an
air conditioning repair company Downriver Michigan I found
Alert Heating and Cooling in Lincoln Park. Although I live in
Brownstown Doug came out to fix my air conditioning. I felt
very silly when Doug told me that my problem would be solved
with new batteries in my thermostat. He was kind and only
charged me a nominal amount. I keep Alert Heating and
Cooling's business card on my fridge in case of any heating or
air conditioning emergencies. Thank you Doug! - Cynthia P.

Furnace Repair Testimonial
Last winter I received a call from my elderly mother who lives
in Southgate Michigan. It was a very cold day and she told me
that she had no heat. Being elderly, she is susceptible to low
temperatures and I live too far away to help. I searched the
internet for a company that does furnace repair and found
Alert Heating and Cooling in Lincoln Park MI. Doug made sure
to go to my mother's house that same day and got her furnace
working. I have peace of mind knowing that I can call Doug to
help my elderly mother with her furnace and air conditioning
needs. Thank you. - Mike W. (mom in Southgate MI)
