📞 (604) 359-1081Request a free quoteCheck the dedicated outdoor-unit breaker and the thermostat. If the breaker trips again or the unit just hums, stop — that’s an electrical fault for a technician.
If the simple checks above don’t solve it — or anything involves refrigerant, electrical parts, the compressor, motors, coils or a breaker that keeps tripping — it’s time for a licensed technician. Call (604) 359-1081 or book online. We offer same-day diagnostics during cooling season when our schedule allows.
Please stay safe. Don’t open the indoor or outdoor unit, touch the contactor, capacitor or wiring, add or “top up” refrigerant, reset a breaker that keeps tripping, or pour anything into the system. Refrigerant, electrical and compressor work must be done by a licensed, refrigerant-certified technician. The safe homeowner steps are simple: check the thermostat is set to cool, replace a dirty filter, make sure the outdoor unit is clear of leaves and debris, and confirm the breaker is on. If that doesn’t fix it, stop and call (604) 359-1081.
Modern cooling equipment is sealed, pressurized and wired to be serviced by trained professionals — not opened up at home. Refrigerant is handled only by technicians certified to do so; releasing it is unsafe and illegal, and an incorrect charge will quietly wreck efficiency and shorten the compressor’s life. Capacitors hold a dangerous charge even with the power off, and a wiring or breaker mistake on your air conditioner is a real shock and fire risk. A licensed CANRO technician diagnoses the true root cause, repairs it to code, keeps your manufacturer warranty intact, and leaves the system safe — the first time. If a part is dangerous or sized wrong, we tell you honestly.
CANRO serves homeowners across Metro Vancouver — Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, New Westminster, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge and White Rock and the surrounding communities. Local, licensed technicians who know BC homes, BC electrical and gas code, and BC rebate programs.
Commonly a failed capacitor or contactor, a tripped breaker, or a safety shutdown. The indoor fan can still run while the outdoor unit is dead, which is why you get airflow but no cooling.
The outdoor condenser isn’t running, so no heat is being removed. It’s usually an electrical fault in the outdoor unit — book a diagnosis.
Often a failed start capacitor — the compressor tries to start but can’t. Turn it off and call a technician before the compressor is damaged.
Whether you need your air conditioner diagnosed today or you’re planning a new system for summer, CANRO will assess it honestly and give you an upfront, written quote with rebate options. Call (604) 359-1081 or request your free in-home estimate — serving all of Greater Vancouver since 1999.
