AC Not Turning On
Here's what typically causes this, and why an on-site diagnostic — not a phone guess — is what gets you an accurate estimate.
Electrical/Breaker Issue
Tripped breaker, blown fuse, or failed contactor.
Thermostat Fault
Not signaling the system to start.
Capacitor Failure
Compressor or fan motor can't start without it.
Why diagnosis matters: A symptom like this can trace back to several different root causes, and the fix — and its cost — depends entirely on which one it is. Roxly doesn't quote a repair price over the phone based on a symptom alone: a technician inspects the equipment on site, tests the likely components, and confirms the actual cause before giving you a firm estimate. That's what makes the quote accurate instead of a guess you find out is wrong after the work starts.
Is a system that won't turn on always a big repair?
Not necessarily — a tripped breaker or bad capacitor is often an inexpensive, same-visit fix.
Should I keep resetting the breaker?
No — if it trips again, that's a sign of a real electrical fault that needs diagnosis, not repeated resets.
