Why Is My AC Not Cooling the House in Palm Bay, FL?

When you turn on your AC this spring, you expect your Palm Bay home to get cooler. If it doesn’t cool your home, it may be time to call us for repairs. Read on to learn about some potential reasons why your AC is not cooling the house properly.

Thermostat Settings

Check the thermostat if your air conditioner is blowing warm air into the house. Make sure the device is set to cool and that the temperature is lower than that of your home. Try lowering the temperature by a couple of degrees and see if that makes a difference.

Dirty Air Filter

A clogged or dirty air filter inside your AC can cause uncooled air to blow through the vents. Check your air filters if your cooling system is blowing hot air. Change the filters regularly to avoid clogging and airflow issues.

Frozen Coils

Frozen coils can prevent your system from releasing heat outdoors, leading to warm air when the AC pumps through the vents. If your system has frozen coils, shut off the air conditioner and give them time to thaw. If this is a recurring problem, you can schedule a consultation with our service professionals to find the root cause and provide a solution.

Low Refrigerant

Refrigerant provides the cooling power of your air conditioning system. If your AC is low on refrigerant, it will struggle to create cold air. Schedule repair service with our technicians if you suspect low or leaking refrigerant, as this is an environmental and health hazard as well as a cooling problem.

When your air conditioner doesn’t produce cold air this spring, you might need our HVAC professionals to find the cause. If you need air conditioning repairs for your Palm Bay system, count on our dedicated technicians at Anna’s Air and Heat.
