Has your AC system shut down all of a sudden?
Before calling a licensed HVAC technician, there is something that you might want to do which could save you a service charge.
Did you check the float switch?
The float switch is a removable component inserted into the primary and/or secondary condensate pipe (at the air handler) which has wires protruding from it.
Is there a lot of water underneath the float switch?
If so, the chances are good that the condensate pipe(s) and evaporator tray inside the air handler are clogged.
And, therefore, the float switch has done its job of shutting down the system.
Using a shop vacuum, you can clear the pipe of water and fungal activity.
Find the termination point of the primary condensate pipe - normally, outside the envelope of the house - and, suck out the debris and water.
NOTE: Remove the cartridge or paper filter from the vacuum first.
Ideally, this routine maintenance tactic should be performed regularly regardless of their being an issue.
Performing this tactic on a monthly-basis during the summer months is a prudent decision.
It will look something like this when you clear out the pipe.
