Coming home to a warm house and flipping on the AC to find it’s not cooling is stressful to deal with after a long day. Many factors can cause the issue, ranging from simple to complicated. It’s helpful to know what to look for to determine if it’s a problem you can handle or something more serious that requires a professional.

Why Your Air Conditioner Isn’t Cooling Your Home

1. Freon Leak

Without Freon, the air conditioner can’t cool your home. A leak causes ice to build up in and around the unit, and the only way to resolve the issue is to find the source of the problem and refill the Freon. It can be a difficult project to handle without experience, which is why it’s best to turn to a heating and cooling professional.

2. Dirty Air Filters

3. Debris

It’s important to keep debris away from the outdoor unit. Foliage and buildup create grime inside the unit that blocks crucial parts for cooling, like the condenser unit. They can also damage other components, so make it a habit to trim plants back and pick up branches and other dirt.
