In the Southeast, temperatures can quickly climb above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes for a sticky situation. After coming home from a long day at work, the last thing most people want to fathom is that their AC is not cooling. While this can be alarming, the experts at Precision Heating & Air are here to render a solution. Continue reading to learn more about what you can do if your AC is not cooling.

Dirty Air Filters

If your AC is not cooling your home, dirty air filters may be blocking return airflow to the system. This blockage makes it significantly more difficult to circulate the necessary amount of cooled air throughout your home. This can make it seem as if your AC isn’t cooling.

Wrong Thermostat Setting

Most thermostats have an “on” and “auto” setting for the blower. If the wrong setting is selected, it can seem as if the air conditioning is not cooling. As long as the unit is set to “auto,” your blower will cycle on and off according to the desired room temperature. In the “on” position, the unit is simply operating as a fan.

No to Low Refrigerant

As your air conditioning unit ages, it will typically leak small amounts of refrigerant each year. Sometimes your AC can leak too much refrigerant and fail to keep you cool. At other times, the refrigerant can contact with moisture and freeze, which produces blockages and prevents the unit from properly cooling. The best way to avoid all of these scenarios is to have regularly scheduled AC maintenance services.

Bad Ductwork

One of the most important elements of your AC system is ductwork. It’s tasked with circulating the cool air produced by the AC throughout your home. If your ductwork is poorly designed, bent, or cracked, the unit may not be able to cool your home and keep you comfortable. A thorough ductwork inspection and cleaning will typically render a cool solution.

Condenser Coils

If your condenser coil has stalled, it can cause the unit to not blow cold air. Your condenser coil plays a huge role in the unit’s ability to produce cold air. A tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse can cause the condenser coil to stop working even if the fan is still blowing. This can give you a false sense that your AC is working as it should.
