Try This"},"content":{"rendered":"
The occurrence of a power outage is rather common, especially in heavily populated areas such as large cities.<\/p>\n
With that said, many homeowners have been experiencing issues with their AC units following a power outage, which should come as no surprise since power outages can damage many electrically powered devices in your home.<\/p>\n
Luckily, you have found this guide in which we will help you narrow down the root of the problem and tell you how to also fix the said issue.<\/p>\n
Why is AC Not Cooling After Power Outage?<\/h2>\n
As previously mentioned, a power outage can cause a number of different issues with your electronically powered devices.<\/p>\n
This is not only because a power outage causes an immediate and abrupt cut of the power supply, but it is also because the power outage can cause a surge of power to the devices in your home.<\/p>\n
This especially applies to devices that are plugged into electrical outlets within or in your home.<\/p>\n
Typically the circuit breaker will take the majority of the power surge; however, it cannot always protect every other appliance or device in your household.<\/p>\n
With that said, the power surge that can potentially follow after a power outage can cause damage to your AC and HVAC unit.<\/p>\n
This is because the power supply for your AC or HVAC unit requires a consistent influx of power; however, when there is a power outage and a subsequential power surge, the incoming power is not a flow.<\/p>\n
Instead, the power surges into a much higher voltage, which can overload wires, the electrical outlet, or even the AC unit\u2019s capacitor. Any one of these can be problematic for your AC and HVAC unit, which is why it is good to take future precautions to avoid this from occurring in the next power outage.<\/p>\n
