The power flickered during an afternoon storm. Then the AC wouldn’t come back on.
It’s a familiar Southwest Florida afternoon.
The sky gets dark. The rain starts pounding. Thunder rolls in, and suddenly...
The lights flicker.
Everything comes back on a few seconds later, so you don’t think much about it.
Until you realize the house is getting warmer.
You check the thermostat. You lower it a couple of degrees. You wait.
Nothing. 😳
Your AC was working perfectly before the storm, so what happened?
Power fluctuations during our Florida thunderstorms can sometimes trip a breaker or affect electrical components in your HVAC system. Even a brief outage or surge can leave your AC unable to restart properly.
Before assuming the worst, check your thermostat and your home’s AC breaker. If the breaker has tripped, reset it once. If it trips again, don’t keep resetting it. That can be a sign there’s an electrical problem that needs attention.
And if the AC still won’t come back on?
That’s when it’s time to call Epic Air Conditioning. ❄️
Florida storms are unpredictable. Your AC shouldn’t be.
