How do you reset your central air unit?

1. Turn off the power. Go to your home's circuit breaker panel and turn off the breaker that powers your central air unit. Check the label on the breaker or use a voltage meter to confirm that the power is off.

2. Wait 30 minutes. This will allow the unit to completely discharge and reset.

3. Turn the power back on. Go to the circuit breaker panel and turn the breaker back on.

4. Wait 10 minutes. This will give the unit time to power up and reset itself.

5. Check the thermostat. Make sure the thermostat is set to the desired temperature and the fan is turned on.

6. Test the unit. Turn the thermostat to a lower temperature and wait for the unit to come on. You should hear the fan running and feel cold air coming out of the vents.

If the central air unit still doesn't work, there may be a problem with the unit itself. Call a qualified HVAC technician to diagnose and repair the problem.
