🥵 AC Not Cooling? 5 Reasons Why (And What to Do!)
There’s nothing worse than an AC that’s blowing warm air on a hot Florida day. If your AC isn’t cooling like it should, don’t sweat it! Here are five common reasons why, and what you can do to fix the problem.
1️⃣ Dirty Air Filter
Yep, we’re back to this one! A clogged air filter restricts airflow, making your AC work harder and reducing its cooling power.
Solution: Check and replace your air filter ASAP! (See our guide on how often to change it.)
2️⃣ Dirty Condenser Coils
The condenser coils (the outdoor unit) release heat. If they’re covered in dirt and debris, they can’t do their job properly.
Solution: Clean the coils with a garden hose (gently!) or call a pro for a thorough cleaning.
3️⃣ Refrigerant Leak
Low refrigerant levels mean your AC can’t cool the air effectively.
Solution: Call a licensed HVAC technician to find and repair the leak, and recharge the refrigerant.
4️⃣ Frozen Evaporator Coil
A frozen coil restricts airflow and prevents cooling. This can be caused by low refrigerant, a dirty air filter, or a malfunctioning blower motor.
Solution: Turn off the AC and let the coil thaw. Then, address the underlying cause.
5️⃣ Ductwork Issues
Leaky or poorly insulated ducts can lose cool air before it reaches your vents.
Solution: Seal any visible leaks with duct tape or call a pro to inspect and repair your ductwork.
