4 Reasons Why your air conditioner is not cooling your home

 

Why doesn’t my air conditioner blow cool air? What should I do if it starts to hiss or bubble? How can I prevent water from leaking? Are ice formations standard? This blog addresses your questions so you can enjoy the well-functioning air conditioning at home.

Your air conditioner’s fan is incorrectly set to your thermostat.

If you only feel intermittent cool air, your AC fan may be in the wrong setting. Turning the AC fan ‘ on ‘ causes the blower to run non-stop, so it works without cooling your home.

Tip: Use the ‘AUTO’ setting on your thermostat; it will automatically turn off your AC’s fan each time your room reaches the desired temperature

Your air filter is clogged.

Your air conditioner cannot keep you cool when the air filters are clogged by dust, dirt, or dander. Airflow becomes limited, making it difficult to move, make, and circulate air in your home.

Tip: Check your air filters every month. You will need a little soap and water to clean it before replacing it if it is dry.

The refrigerant is leaking.

The refrigerant is a compound liquid in your AC system that converts hot air into cold air. If there is a leak, they will not be able to cool your home to the temperature of your thermostat.

Tip: Contact an expert technician immediately if you find the following signs:

Hissing or bubbling sound

Ice crystals form on the refrigerant line outside

Your AC won’t cool your home when it’s hot during the day but will work fine when it’s cool at night.

Your evaporator coil is frozen.

An evaporator coil absorbs heat from the air in your home, allowing cool air to blow out. If the coil is frozen, it will not be able to absorb warm air.

Tip: call a professional if you notice a puddle of water around your AC unit. Coil freezing can be caused by: refrigerant leaks, clogged air filters, or short-cycling (frequent on-and-off AC cycles that will increase your energy bill).
