Why Is My Air Conditioner Running But Not Cooling Properly?
Your AC can run but not cool when airflow or refrigeration is compromised. Common causes include a clogged filter, dirty outdoor coil, low refrigerant, thermostat mis-settings, or a failing blower. Try these quick checks:
- Set thermostat to Cool and 3–5°F below room.
- Replace or clean the filter.
- Clear leaves from the outdoor unit.
- Open supply and return vents.
If ice is on the lines, turn the system off and call. Boehmer Heating & Cooling services all major brands in Pittsburgh and offers 24-hour response with in-stock parts.
