Your residential ac isn't cooling very well?

The first and most common check is to check the filter right inside the removable grill. If it is a window or wall unit central air check the filter by the evaporator inside the house. Make sure all fans are working. If it is a central air conditioner make sure the compressor is turned on outside the house,there is a small circuit panel located near the compressor unit that may have been shut off. Unless you have a working knowledge of your air conditioner it's best to call a reputable service company. If your air conditioner is a small window it might be smarter to replace the unit because a repair could cost more than a new air conditioner.
