That question is NOT one you want to be asking during these hot spring temperatures! But, just in case it is, we’re giving you some possible answers to “Why isn’t my air conditioner blowing cool air?”
Why is my air conditioner not blowing cool air?
Why Isn’t My Air Conditioner Blowing Cool Air?
If there is air coming out of your supply vents there are a couple of steps you can take (if there is no air coming out of the vents, look below):
- Make sure the fan setting is set to “auto” and not “on.” Having it “on” will cause your air conditioner to blow air even if it’s not being cooled.
- Your air filter may need to be changed. A dirty air filter blocks airflow to the air handler.
- Clean your outside unit. If the unit is dirty or covered by something, it needs to be cleared of any and all obstructions.
- You may be low on refrigerant. Usually, this is caused by a refrigerant leak, which you’ll need our help with!
If there is not air coming from your vents, try these steps:
- Check the air filter. If the filter is dirty, it will blow the airflow.
- Change the thermostat temperature. The temperature should be set at least 5 degrees below the temperature of your room.
- Set the thermostat to “cool.” If it is “off” or on “heat” you could be experiencing problems.
- Check electricity. Ensure that there is electricity being supplied to your air conditioner by making sure switches are “on” to the compressor, the air handler, and circuit breakers.
