outside ac unit won turn on

Are you a bit hot under the collar? If you had a power outage during one of Arizona’s monstrous monsoons, the central AC may not have come back on. So what do you do? Follow these 5 steps to restart your AC safely and get your comfort back. Go to your thermostat and set it to “off.”  This will stop your thermostat from calling your AC for cooling so you can reset the circuit breaker. Most likely, a power surge from the storm overloaded the AC’s circuit, causing the circuit breaker to “trip.”  So you’ll need to reset it. The circuit breaker box (a grey metalic box) is usually located in these areas: Open the circuit breaker box and find the circuit that has an air conditioner/HVAC label next to it. It’s OK if there’s no label. Just look for a switch that is “tripped,” meaning that’s it’s moved to the neutral position. To reset the circuit breaker,  turn it to the “off” position (right), then the “on” position (left)
