Congested air filter. If you’ve noticed your air conditioner isn’t providing enough cool air for your living space, you should examine the air filter for clogging. Dust and debris accumulation on this component can prevent proper airflow, which will significantly reduce the cooling capacity of your air conditioner. If this really is the issue, clean or replace the air filter as needed.

Low refrigerant. When your air conditioner isn’t cooling properly, check the evaporator coil for frost buildup. This means the refrigerant, which enables your air conditioner to cool your home (and has to be at a certain level in order to function as it should) is leaking. Given that exposure to refrigerant can be harmful, it pays to consult a reliable air conditioning expert like J & M Air Conditioning & Heating for the appropriate solution.

Debris buildup on the condenser coils. The AC condenser serves as a radiator that dissipates heat. But when its coils get dirty, the condenser will have trouble dissipating heat outside, making your air conditioner less efficient. If this is overlooked, your AC unit won’t be able to cool your rooms properly. In this case, you’ll need to either clean the condenser coils yourself or have them cleaned by an HVAC professional to ensure optimal performance from your air conditioner.

Failing compressor. Given how the compressor is the heart of your AC system, any damage to it can considerably affect the overall performance of the unit. A failing or damaged compressor will need to be replaced–which can be costly unless you have a warranty. If you need to replace an entire outdoor unit, just turn to J & M Air Conditioning & Heating.
