Troubleshooting Your AC Woes: Why Your Air Conditioner Isn't Cooling

Discover the common culprits behind a lukewarm breeze and the expert solutions offered by Reliable Climate Solutions to revive your cooling haven.

Frequent requests about an AC not cooling prompt us to explore the primary reasons:

  1. Tripped Circuit Breaker:If the circuit breaker has tripped, a simple reset might provide a temporary fix. If the issue persists, our licensed electrical partner can address non-AC-related electrical problems.
  2. Low Refrigerant Levels:Inadequate refrigerant levels can hinder the cooling process. While the indoor unit may function, the outdoor unit fails to cool due to insufficient or absent refrigerant. If you notice a cool breeze outside the unit but not inside, low refrigerant could be the culprit.
  3. Insufficient Airflow:Inadequate airflow within the indoor unit can result from a dirty filter, a grimy indoor coil (often due to infrequent filter changes), or a malfunctioning air handler motor. Regular maintenance, including filter changes and motor inspections, is crucial for optimal performance.

Rare issues might involve a faulty AC control module, broken compressor or a dirty radiator in the outdoor unit. While we often recommend radiator cleanings for improved efficiency, it may not resolve underlying issues but enhance the effectiveness of a properly functioning system.
