Providing You With Answers & Solutions

Why Is My AC Running but Not Cooling?
When your air conditioner is running but not cooling correctly, it can be caused by various factors that are oftentimes difficult to diagnose without looking at the unit itself in person. This is why it is imperative that as soon as you notice something is wrong, you call a professional HVAC technician for assistance.
In the meantime, here are some common reasons for this issue that you may be dealing with:
- Filters that are Dirty or Clogged: A dirty or blocked air filter may limit the flow of air, making it difficult for your air conditioner to cool the air. Replace the filters in your air conditioner regularly, usually every 1 to 3 months, for optimal performance.
- Incorrect Thermostat: Make sure your thermostat is set to the intended temperature and cooling mode. The thermostat may be unintentionally set too high or in heating mode.
- Refrigerant Problems: Low refrigerant levels can stop your air conditioner from cooling effectively. This issue can be caused by leaks or incorrect charging.
- Problems with the Condenser Unit: The condenser unit outside your home might encounter obstructions such as leaves, debris, or dirt, which could hinder heat exchange. Make certain that the area surrounding the condenser is clear.
- Problems with the Compressor: A faulty compressor can prevent your air conditioner from cooling. If you hear strange noises or the unit outside does not turn on, the compressor could be to blame.
- Faulty Capacitor or Relay: Over time, electrical components such as capacitors and relays can wear out, impacting the operation of your air conditioner.
- Ducts that are Blocked or Leaking: Damaged or blocked ductwork can result in poor air circulation, lowering the cooling capacity.
- Overheating: If your air conditioner overheats as a result of continuous operation, it may shut down temporarily for safety reasons. This could be due to a dirty condenser coil or a lack of maintenance.
- Mismatch in Size: If your air conditioner is not properly sized for the area you are cooling, it might find it difficult to cool correctly. A small air conditioner will not adequately cool your home, whereas a large one can turn on and off frequently, which causes damage as well.
- Environmental Aspects: Extreme heat or high humidity can put a strain on your air conditioning system. In such cases, your air conditioner may not be as effective at cooling your home.
- Worn-Out Parts: As your air conditioning unit ages, different parts, such as the blower motor and evaporator coil, may wear out. Regular maintenance can assist in identifying and addressing issues before they develop into serious problems.
As we mentioned, if your air conditioner is running but not cooling, it’s often best to speak with a professional HVAC technician to identify and fix the problem. Attempting to troubleshoot and repair complex issues without the appropriate expertise and equipment may result in additional damage or inefficiency.

Why Is My AC Not Cooling Enough on Hot Days?
If your air conditioning does not provide adequate cooling on those hot summer days, multiple variables may be to blame.
While we recommend homeowners reach out to the team for a more accurate diagnosis, here are some common reasons why your air conditioner may be struggling:
- If your air conditioner is undersized for the area in which it is supposed to cool, it might have trouble keeping up on extremely hot days. A small unit will not be able to remove enough heat from the air in your home.
- Low refrigerant levels are caused by leaks or improper charging.
- A clogged or dirty air filter.
- A clogged or dirty condenser unit.
- Overheating unit due to high temperatures outdoors.
- Cooled air can escape before it reaches the rooms in your home if your ductwork is leaky or inadequately insulated.
- Inadequate insulation throughout your home can allow heat in, making it harder for your air conditioner to keep a comfortable temperature.
- You have an older unit that requires replacement.
- Excessive sunlight and insufficient shade can cause higher temperatures in your home, making it more difficult for your air conditioner to cool effectively.

What Is the Most Expensive Part of an AC Unit to Replace?The most expensive component to replace in an air conditioning unit varies depending on the particular system in question and its parts, but the compressor is usually the most expensive to replace. The compressor is the core of the air conditioning system. It is in charge of compressing and circulating the refrigerant, which is required for cooling. Compressor replacements are costly because they call for an enormous amount of labour and, in most cases, the removal and reinstatement of the refrigeration fluid, as well as other complex processes.
