Is your HVAC system or AC unit blowing air that isn’t cooling your home, even when you lower the thermostat? There are several reasons why your AC might not be producing cool air. In this blog, Centrum Solutions highlights some common causes of this problem and explains why professional repairs are crucial to prevent further damage, extended downtimes, and potential safety hazards.

Common Reasons Your Air Conditioner Is Not Blowing Cold Air

Low or Leaking Refrigerant

Refrigerants play a critical role in absorbing and releasing heat to cool your home. When refrigerant levels are low or there are leaks, your system works much harder to cool the air, leading to inefficiency and inadequate cooling.

Faulty Thermostat

A thermostat that is not properly calibrated can mislead your AC unit, causing it to blow warmer air instead of cool air. This often happens due to incorrect temperature readings or wiring issues.

Dirty Filters

Filters clogged with dirt and dust restrict airflow and can cause your unit to overheat. In such cases, safety mechanisms may activate, causing the unit to blow hot air or shut down completely to prevent damage.

Ductwork Issues

Leaks or punctures in your ductwork allow air to escape, making it harder for your AC to maintain a steady flow of cold air. This results in inefficient cooling and higher energy bills.

Damaged Coils

Blocked or damaged coils hinder the escape of heat from your home, making cooling much more difficult for your system. Regular maintenance is key to preventing coil damage and ensuring efficient operation.
