Although Hawaii enjoys temperate weather year-round, you still need an efficient AC to keep your office comfortable. Some issues can cause your air conditioning unit to blow hot air, which can quickly make your workplace uncomfortably warm. While this problem can be caused by a variety of factors, here are the most common reasons you may have hot air coming from the vents.

Why Your AC Isn’t Blowing Cool Air

1. Broken Thermostat

Everything else in the system may be working perfectly, but a malfunctioning thermostat will trigger the heater instead of the AC. Fortunately, a skilled air conditioning repair expert can usually identify the issue and upgrade your office’s thermostat in a few hours.

2. Lack of Condenser Function

Most commercial AC systems feature an indoor air handler and an outdoor condenser, which draws heat from the air before it goes into the system. If the condenser unit outside loses power, the air handler will continue blowing air into the office, even though it hasn’t been cooled. In many cases, power loss can be traced to a tripped circuit breaker, short circuit, or other electrical problem.

3. Dirty Condenser

Outdoor condensers accumulate dust, dirt, and leaves, which eventually restrict the airflow and cause the unit to freeze. Since the condenser can’t do its job, the air flowing from your vents will feel warm and humid. Cleaning a condenser is a labor-intensive process, so it may be best to call a professional to diagnose the issue and maintain your equipment.
