When you turn your air conditioning system on during a hot summer day, or the programming on your thermostat activates it, you expect to feel cool air coming from the vents. Nothing is more frustrating than to have your AC turn on when you need it and only get room temperature air coming from the vents. An air conditioner that acts like just a large fan isn\u2019t much good to you on the hottest days of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what is happening with your AC that\u2019s cut off the cool air you expect? We handle central air repair in Conyers, GA<\/a>, and our technicians know plenty about what can go wrong with an AC to make it stop cooling. We\u2019ll look at several below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why Your AC Isn\u2019t Giving You Cool Air <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dirty Air Filter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a simple one, but often overlooked. The air filter in your AC system traps dust, dirt, and other airborne particles, preventing them from getting into the HVAC cabinet and damaging components. However, if the filter becomes too clogged, it restricts airflow, making it difficult for your AC to draw enough air to cool it down. Make sure to check and replace the air filter regularly, typically every 1\u20133 months, depending on usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iced-Over Evaporator Coil<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The evaporator coil is a crucial part of your AC system, responsible for absorbing heat from your home\u2019s air. If this coil becomes coated with ice, it can\u2019t do its job properly, leading to a lack of cool air. Ice can form on the coil due to low refrigerant levels, poor airflow (often due to a dirty filter), or issues with the blower fan. If you notice ice on your AC unit, turn off the system and call a professional for a thorough inspection and repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thermostat Problems<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The thermostat is your AC system\u2019s control center. If it\u2019s not working correctly, it can\u2019t accurately communicate with your AC unit. This might mean the thermostat is reading incorrect settings or failing to send the signal to start the cooling cycle, only making the fan run. Ensure your thermostat is set to the correct mode (cooling) and temperature, and consider replacing the batteries if it\u2019s not hardwired. If problems persist, you might need a new thermostat or professional calibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Failed Compressor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The compressor is the essential component that allows an air conditioner to provide cooling. When you hear the compressor kick on, that means the AC is starting its cooling cycle. If the compressor doesn\u2019t work, then the AC can\u2019t carry out heat exchange: the process of moving heat from the indoors to the outdoors. Unfortunately, a dead compressor usually must be replaced\u2014and, because of the cost of a replacement, it\u2019s often more cost-effective to replace the whole AC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
