Tech Talk Tuesday: Why Is My A/C Running But Not Cooling?
It’s 90 degrees outside, your A/C is humming—but your house feels like a sauna. What gives?
Here are the most common summer culprits:
1. Clogged Air Filter – If it’s dirty, airflow drops and your system can’t keep up.
2. Low Refrigerant – If you’ve got a leak, the system loses its cooling power.
3. Dirty Outdoor Coil – All that cottonwood, pollen, and grime? It blocks heat from escaping, and your system overheats.
4. Thermostat Settings – Double-check that it’s set to cool and not fan mode.
Pro Tip:
Give your outdoor unit at least 2 feet of clearance. No shrubs, no clutter. Let it breathe—your system will thank you with lower energy bills and better performance.
Bonus Tip:
If your system is more than 10 years old, upgrading to a high-efficiency unit could cut your cooling costs by up to 40%. And yes, there are rebates available—we’ll help you find them.
Stay cool, stay smart, and if your system is struggling, give us a call before it gives out completely.
