AC not turning on could be the result of a blown fuse located at something called a safety shut-off box. This should be found close to your AC unit. Check to see if you have a blown fuse, and be sure to replace it if that’s the case. Even if the fuse doesn’t appear to be damaged, go ahead and replace it anyway.

The AC unit won’t turn on

If you find that the AC unit still does not work, the next place to look is the thermostat. A non-responsive thermostat will fail to communicate with the rest of the central air system. Your HVAC contractor can fix this for you.

your unit may be pulling electricity – a dangerous problem that requires professional attention. See if the Emergency Shut-Off Switch Is OFF. This is usually located next to the outside AC unit in a metal box hanging on your house. If someone has recently worked on the AC unit, they may have accidentally left this switch in the OFF position.

Tripped circuit breaker

If you have tripped the circuit breaker, your AC won’t turn on. So, whenever your AC unit is not turning on, do check the circuit breaker.

A circuit breaker is a safety tool that turns the power off in case of heavy voltage.  It may be due to using high voltage appliances or power surges in the electricity grid.

All you’ve to do is find the air conditioner circuit breaker and turn it off completely. Then wait for a few minutes before turning it on.

Safety tip: If it keeps tripping, do not try to turn it on as it indicates a high voltage and can cause an electric fire. It is a problem that needs to be fixed by an expert.
