One is brand new and second is about 3 years old both are Rheem brand and are of 14 Seer.
After renovation, add a second floor and moved in to the house in March 2007. During this summer tried to turn an A/C but did not turn on both unit. Check the circit braker and is fine. May be a minor problem but do not know from where to start trouble shooting the problem.
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
Thanks

My first suggestion would be that you look in the user guide. There's usually a section on troubleshooting tips. Or perhaps call the 1-800 number found in the guide and ask them what to do.
You can also try http://www.allexperts.com/browse.cgi?catLvl=3&catID=696 and see if they can help.

First, many air conditioners are on a different circuit breaker than the one in your house for other things. You might try checking for a unit near your air conditioner outside.
Second -- I felt really stupid my first year owning a house when the furnace wouldn't turn on. Their was a switch on the side of the blower, and it had been knocked to the off position. If you don't use a furnace, you may still have a blower inside. Check for a switch (ours looked like a light switch) on the side.
Good Luck!

Hello
If the breaker is on and the unit will not run, check to see if there is an outdoor disconnect near the unit. Make sure this is on. Or, with the breaker OFF, open the disconnect and make sure the fuses are okay if it has fuses. If you are comfortable testing electrical, you can use a tester to see if you have power coming from the breaker (with the breaker on) to the disconnect. If you are not comfortable with this, check your yellow pages for a reputable A/C service company. Ask for references.
Good luck.

give more details do they come on and just not cold or do they just not come on at all. They might have an internal fuse I would contact the company that makes them, if you do have the owners manual and see what they say they should have an 800 #. good luck hope you find out whats wrong in the mean time, i would be more then happy to mail you some of my cold air from mine, lol
Cheers

Im not exactly sure what you are talking about but maybe I can help. Both my brother and I turned on our air conditioners/central air this year and both of us couldn't keep our house cool. I checked the filter and found out it was really dirty. My brothers was the same. Once we cleaned them, everything was working fine. Maybe you just need to clean your filters. I hope that helps! Its a pretty cheap fix. Good luck.

Both should be under a parts warranty maybe also labor. Call the company that installed them and have them give it a look. If it is the new one it may have never been set up if it's cold in march like it is in Wisconsin.

Have you unplugged the air conditioners and then tried another light/lamp/radio to make sure you are getting current at the outlet?? could be a loose connector with the renovation.

check to see if there is a gfic in the row of elecrtrical plugs,
comming from the circuit breaker box.
Sometimes the gfci is the culprit.
It can get tripped without anybody knowing about it.
Glad to help!
