Why Your AC is Not Cooling Properly & How to Fix It

Introduction:
Few things are as frustrating as an AC unit that isn’t cooling your home properly. If your air conditioner is running but not keeping your home comfortable, several issues could be at play. Here’s what might be causing the problem and how Leipart Heating & Cooling can help.

1. Thermostat Issues
Check if your thermostat is set to “cool” and at the right temperature. If it’s malfunctioning, recalibrating or replacing it may be necessary.

2. Dirty or Clogged Air Filter
A clogged air filter restricts airflow, causing your AC to work harder while cooling less effectively. Replacing the filter every 1-3 months helps maintain efficiency.

3. Low Refrigerant Levels
Refrigerant is essential for cooling your home. If your AC is low on refrigerant, it likely has a leak that needs professional repair.

4. Blocked or Leaky Air Ducts
Leaky or clogged ductwork can prevent cool air from reaching your rooms. Our technicians can inspect and repair duct issues to improve airflow.

5. Faulty Compressor or Fan Motor
The compressor and fan motor are critical for cooling. If they fail, your AC may run but not cool. Our experts can diagnose and replace damaged components.

6. Frozen Evaporator Coils
If your AC runs but doesn’t cool, the evaporator coils may be frozen due to dirty coils or restricted airflow. Turning off the unit and allowing it to thaw, followed by professional cleaning, can help.

Conclusion:
If your AC is failing to cool your home, don’t wait for the problem to get worse. Contact Leipart Heating & Cooling for expert AC repair services, and we’ll have your system back to peak performance in no time.
