When a problem like this arises, you should not ignore it. There could be a problem with your HVAC system, and you must pay close attention to it. Otherwise the problem could worsen if you disregard it.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Ductwork Could be Leaking<\/h2>\n<p>Ductwork is an important component of your HVAC system. It delivers the heated or cooled air throughout your home. If your ductwork has leaks, the distribution of air won\u2019t be efficient. The heated or cooled air will escape from the system before it even reaches your home. Have a professional check your ductwork for any suspicious leaks. They will repair or seal it right away.<\/p>\n<h2>Something\u2019s Wrong with Your Thermostat<\/h2>\n<p>You should also check your thermostat if your AC is running but not cooling your house down. Sometimes the issue is that your thermostat is outdated or needs new batteries. Check your thermostat settings first to confirm that nothing is wrong with it. Set it to the cooling position and confirm that the setpoint temperature is cooler than the outside temperature. However, if the mentioned solutions fail to work, it can be an indication that you should get yourself a brand new thermostat.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Condenser Coils are Dirty<\/h2>\n<p>Condenser coils are part of the AC unit which is responsible for cool air production. If they are obstructed by grime, oil, or dust, then they won\u2019t be able to produce cool air efficiently. You can get rid of these obstructions by cleaning your condenser coils. Once you are done cleaning and it still won\u2019t function properly, have it checked by a professional HVAC technician.<\/p>\n<h2>You Need to Change Your Filters<\/h2>\n<p>If you are using disposable filters, you should change it frequently, definitely as often as the manufacturer recommends. If it is not indicated, changing it monthly can be good. It will help your AC unit work efficiently. However, if you are using permanent filters, cleaning it once every three months is also necessary. Clean filters allow the air to circulate freely from the AC unit into the house.<\/p>\n<h2>There\u2019s a Problem with Your Refrigerant<\/h2>\n<p>The refrigerant in an AC unit is responsible for converting liquids into vapors as air passes through it. If there is a lack of refrigerant due to an existing leak, it won\u2019t be able to cool down the AC unit. Instead of refilling your refrigerant reservoir, let an HVAC expert replace it. In order to avoid future problems, an annual HVAC service will help prevent unexpected damages from occurring.<\/p>\n<h2>Outdoor Debris is Obstructing the Airflow<\/h2>\n<p>If you live in a house where there are plants, leaves or trees, there is a high chance that leaves coming from the trees or even dry sand will obstruct the airflow of your AC unit from the outside. Make sure to check your AC unit for outdoor obstructions and get rid of it. If you have a garden or vegetation, keep it at least 2 feet away from your AC unit. If your condenser coils or evaporator are dirty, clean them periodically.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are done evaluating every aspect of your AC unit and still can\u2019t figure out why your house is still not cooling down, check your insulations or add curtains or drapes to prevent heat from coming in or stopping cold air from escaping. If this won\u2019t still work, it\u2019s time for you to call a professional HVAC technician to run a thorough evaluation of your system.<\/p>\n<p>If you need more helpful tips in checking your AC unit, Call Johnny On The Spot at(725) 977-9461 and discuss your HVAC problems with our experts.
