This isn\u2019t a fun situation to find yourself in: a hot summer day when you have to turn on your home\u2019s AC to stay comfortable, but the air conditioner is just \u2026 not \u2026 making it. The system comes on, you feel cool air coming from the vents, but the house is still too warm. Maybe some rooms are fine, but others are swelteringly hot and its got your family complaining about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There may be a simple explanation for this and you\u2019ll only need to do some basic troubleshooting. Or you may have a situation where you\u2019ll need to call us for air conditioning repair in Conyers, GA<\/a>. We\u2019ll help you find out the best route to take \u2026 simply follow below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Is this an old problem?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your air conditioner has never<\/em> been able to keep up with your comfort demands, the problem is likely a bad installation. Amateur installers often put in air conditioning systems that aren\u2019t properly sized to cool the house, or they put in air ducts that don\u2019t allow for the necessary airflow. In these cases, you\u2019ll need to have expert technicians either replace the ductwork or the entire AC with an accurately sized one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the air filter!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most common reasons for an air conditioner to begin to lose its cooling capacity is because the air filter has been left in place for three months or more. The air filter on the HVAC cabinet needs to be replaced every one to three months, otherwise it will become clogged and cut down on airflow and comfort. If you\u2019ve got a clogged AC filter, put it a new one and see if you get better cooling. (And stick to the regular schedule of filter changes throughout summer.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigate the thermostat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mistakes with thermostat settings can often slip under your radar, especially in a house with plenty of people who may be making adjustments to the thermostat without you knowing about it. The problem could also be that the thermostat is picking up incorrect temperatures due to miscalibration. This is something you\u2019ll need professionals to fix\u2014don\u2019t keep lowering the thermostat to compensate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frozen evaporator coil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No, you shouldn\u2019t see ice on the AC\u2019s indoor coil. If the evaporator coil is frozen over, it won\u2019t be able to draw heat from the air and cool down the house enough. You\u2019ll need to have technicians find out what caused the frozen coil as well as defrost it. Please don\u2019t try to scrape the ice off on your own since you may damage the coil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aging air conditioner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How long have you had your current AC system? If it\u2019s been in place more than 15 years, a decline in cooling power usually means it\u2019s time to have the system replaced. Getting an AC to 15 years is a good milestone, but it\u2019s also the point where age and wear will start to catch up with it and result in a loss of cooling capacity\u2014and probably a rise in bills. Consult with our professionals to see if it\u2019s time to have a new system installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
