Your AC is on, but your home still feels hot. In Scottsdale, that is a big problem. The good news is that the cause is often something small. Here are the top reasons an AC stops cooling.
A dirty air filter
A dirty filter blocks air. When air cannot move, your home will not cool well. Check your filter. If it looks gray and full of dust, put in a new one. Try to change it every 1 to 3 months.
The thermostat setting
Make sure your thermostat is set to "cool" and set below the room temperature. Also make sure the fan is set to "auto," not "on." It sounds simple, but this fixes many cooling problems.
Low refrigerant or a frozen unit
Refrigerant is the stuff that makes the air cold. If it is low, your AC cannot cool. You may even see ice on the unit. This is not a fix-it-yourself job. Turn the AC off and call us.
