Your air conditioner should lower the temperature of your Destin, FL, home and match the temperature you have set on the thermostat. If the AC raises the temperature instead, you’ll probably need our help. Here are a few common causes of an AC blowing warm air.
Refrigerant Leak
If your air conditioner doesn’t have enough refrigerant to make cold air, the system cannot cool your home. The AC may still force air through the vents, but this air will be warm rather than cold. If you suspect a refrigerant leak, call us right away to restore comfort and prevent environmental hazards.
Dirty Air Filter
Air filters inside the AC trap dust and debris so that your system can operate more efficiently. A dirty or clogged filter may make it harder for the AC to push air through to the vents. The once-cold air from the AC may be warm by the time it blows out of the vents.
Fan or Compressor Issues
If the fan or compressor malfunctions, the AC cannot force cold air into the air ducts. This leaves the air to trickle and causes it to change temperature before it blows into the open spaces of your home.
Frozen Coils
Coils freeze for different reasons, but they almost always result in your AC being unable to make cold air. If your coils freeze, shut down your system, and give them time to thaw. If freezing is a constant issue, call us for repairs.
A reliable air conditioner cools your home all summer long. If you’re getting warm air from the vents while the appliance is in cooling mode, it’s time for expert help.
