My electric bill was triple so I knew something was wrong. I called and got an appointment within a few days. Brodie came and within 5 minutes determined the cause of my problem. He corrected the problem and thoroughly inspected the entire system to be sure that was the cause of the problem. He was polite, efficient and extremely patient explaining how and why it was not working. I was really impressed and thankful. Thanks again Brodie & Bailey Heating, Air & Electric!!
Nancy W.
Landon was knowledgeable and professional while also being courteous. Bailey’s is always the best to use for every issue. They have taken great care of us for the last 20 years for our heating and air as well as electrical work. They are a first rate company.

Walter H.
My technician was Brodie, did a great job on maintenance of my AC system both indoor and out door units. Made recommendations on things I can do to extend the life of my units which I have scheduled to do. Baileys is the only company I plan on using.
Dianna H.
We have used Bailey Heat and Air several times and they are great. They are very knowledgeable and answer any questions we may have. Isaiah is a blessing and is very friendly and knowledgeable. Their employees are tops.
Christine I.
Baileys Heating, Air & Electrical, was called because I needed a maintenance check on the unit I bought from them a couple of years ago. Tucker was polite, neat and clean, and a good communicator. I felt comfortable asking questions. He explained things clearly. Thanks, Tucker.
Ella D.
Isaiah Gray was extremely professional & polite. He was there to provide my free heating inspection & maintenance on a new hvac that I had purchased earlier in the year. I very much appreciated how thorough he was in explaining everything he was doing. He is the epitome of great customer service!
Wiliam E.
What began as a maintenance check ended up being a repair. After the appointment was made last week, the air condition quit. Tucker was prompt and began investigating the problem as soon as I finished explaining the issue. He very quickly determined that there was a gas leak and went work and determined the location. I received a quote on the cost and gave approval to perform the job. It was done expeditiously and Tucker completed the job satisfactorily in a couple of hours. I am pleased with the job, well done!

Brodie was the absolute sweetest, professional, and informative tech we could have asked for! We were concerned about our heat pump being in auxiliary mode, the admin asst Sarah (she is awesome too!) had explained that it was normal under extremely low outside temps but that they would still send someone out to ensure nothing else was wrong. Brodie thoroughly checked everything out, explained how it is triggered under very low temps, and provided us with the reassurance that all was working properly. Fortunately, the temps have now risen high enough that is has defaulted back to regular heat; however, not looking forward to those winter weather electricity bills! Aargh! Nonetheless, Bailey continues to prove that we made the right decision in purchasing our heat pump from them-
Josh H.
Chase was professional and nice. He explained why he recommended a new unit and it all made sense. I had an older unit and the older refrigerant. Connor did the install with Chris. Both were professional and knocked it out quickly. Connor explained a few minor technical things when asked and really knows his stuff.
Edith M.
The technicians were very knowledgeable, would go over the price with you of items needed to be repaired, and made sure the work areas were cleaned up before leaving.
James B.
I hired the wrong person to install a mini split system in my home and was recommended to call Baileys for an inspection and consultation. Tucker was extremely knowledgeable and explained in detail what he was doing step by step! Tucker found the issues quickly and did not ask the name of the contractor who installed the unit and was totally neutral as I complained about the other company, he never spoke negatively about the competitor. He wasn’t in a hurry and didn’t try to sale me anything and you just don’t see that from most people today. I would definitely recommend!
Michael C.
Brody and Danny did a great expedient and professional job repairing my air. I really appreciate it. They are an asset to your company. Thanks to all concerned. At this time the air is set to and running at 73 degrees. We need the low humidity and temp. While we are away.
Ken A.
Isaiah was awesome and spent much time troubleshooting the issue we were having. I feel like Bailey’s appreciates their customers unlike some other companies that treat their customers like a number. Thank you, Bailey’s!

AI-recommendation on what to do next
When your AC is not cooling your home or is blowing warm air, it usually means the system is running but not removing heat the way it should. The cause may be simple, like a dirty air filter, thermostat setting, or blocked airflow.

When your AC will not turn on, will not shut off, or only responds after flipping the breaker, it usually means something in the system is not communicating correctly. The issue may be simple, like thermostat settings, weak batteries, a tripped breaker, or a clogged air filter. It may also involve a safety switch, low-voltage fuse, wiring problem, failed capacitor, contactor, blower motor, or outdoor unit issue.
After you complete the short form above, a Bailey comfort advisor will contact you within 1–2 hours during normal business hours to help schedule your appointment. Our technician will inspect the thermostat, breaker, indoor air handler, outdoor condenser, drain safety switch, electrical components, airflow, and system operation to find the real cause of the problem.
We will explain what we find in plain language, review your repair options, and help you decide the right next step for your home. If your system can be repaired, we will tell you. If the equipment is older, unreliable, unsafe, or no longer cost-effective to repair, we can also walk you through replacement options.

Frequently asked questions about why your AC won't turn on or off
Yes, call a technician if the breaker trips again, the thermostat is blank, the outdoor unit will not start, the system will not shut off, you see water near the air handler, or basic thermostat and filter checks do not solve the problem. Electrical components, fuses, capacitors, contactors, control boards, and wiring should be diagnosed safely by a qualified HVAC technician.
Your AC may not turn on because of thermostat settings, dead thermostat batteries, a tripped breaker, a clogged air filter, a clogged drain line safety switch, blown fuse, wiring issue, failed capacitor, or a malfunctioning motor. Carrier lists tripped breakers, blown fuses, thermostat issues, clogged filters, wiring problems, and motor failure as common causes.
If your AC will not turn off, first check whether the thermostat is set below the room temperature and whether the fan is set to ON instead of AUTO. If the system keeps running after settings are corrected, possible causes include a thermostat malfunction, stuck relay, electrical issue, frozen coil, airflow restriction, low refrigerant, or fan limit switch problem.
If the thermostat display works but the AC will not start, the problem may be in the HVAC system itself. Common causes include a tripped breaker, clogged drain safety switch, blown low-voltage fuse, control board issue, capacitor failure, contactor failure, or outdoor unit problem. A battery-powered thermostat screen does not always mean the HVAC system has proper low-voltage power.
If your AC will not turn on after resetting the breaker, make sure the breaker is fully moved to OFF and then back to ON. If it trips again, do not keep resetting it. Repeated breaker trips can point to an electrical issue, compressor problem, short, capacitor failure, or unsafe wiring condition that should be inspected by a professional.
Your thermostat may not be sending the cooling signal because it is set incorrectly, has weak batteries, has loose wiring, lacks C-wire power, or has lost communication with the HVAC system. Google Nest support notes that if the system does not work with the old thermostat either, the issue may be with the HVAC system, such as a blown fuse or bad breaker.
A blank thermostat often means the thermostat has lost power. Possible causes include dead batteries, a tripped breaker, blown low-voltage fuse, clogged condensate drain safety switch, loose wiring, or an air handler power issue. Some drain safety switches can shut the system down if the condensate line backs up.
If the indoor fan runs but the outside AC unit does not, the issue may be the outdoor disconnect, breaker, capacitor, contactor, compressor, fan motor, wiring, or control signal from the thermostat. The outdoor unit needs both high-voltage power and the correct low-voltage signal to start.
