Why Is My Air Conditioner Running But Not Cooling Properly?
Your AC can run without cooling due to thermostat issues, low refrigerant, dirty condenser coils, a frozen coil, or an inoperative fan. Our technicians diagnose these problems and perform checks like refrigerant pressure testing, condenser coil cleaning, condensate drain clearing, filter replacement, and a full system performance test.
Quick checks:
- Set thermostat to Cool and lower the setpoint.
- Replace or clean the air filter.
- Look for ice on the coil; if you see ice, turn the system off.
- Listen if the fan runs.
- Note short cycling (frequent on/off).
