\"woman-sitting-in-front-of-fan\"April in Georgia may as well be August in any other part of the country, right? What we mean is that\u2026 we\u2019re already dealing with hot temperatures! This means we are using our cooling systems on a daily basis. If you\u2019ve noticed something wrong <\/em>with your cooling system already, it\u2019s cause for alarm. For example, did you discover a drop in cooling power, or a lack of cool air coming from the system?<\/p>\n

Obviously you know this is an issue. The last thing you need is something that doesn\u2019t function any better than a standard fan, circulating warm air throughout your home. You\u2019ll want to call for professional repairs\u2014and in the meantime we\u2019ve shared some insight into what might be causing this very frustrating issue.<\/p>\n

Incorrect Thermostat Settings<\/h2>\n

This might seem like a problem that\u2019s really easy to avoid and a mistake you wouldn\u2019t make, but hang tight with us. There have been times where an HVAC professional will show up for a service call regarding an air conditioner problem, only to discover the thermostat was in the wrong mode, or <\/em>the thermostat was set by someone else in the home who has different cooling preferences. So be sure to check the thermostat first and foremost!<\/p>\n

A Tripped Circuit Breaker<\/h2>\n

Like the above mentioned example, this \u201cproblem\u201d has an easy fix. If the circuit breaker that goes to the indoor unit trips, then you\u2019ll know because the air conditioner won\u2019t cycle on at all\u2014you won\u2019t hear the fan. But if the circuit breaker is for the outdoor unit only, then you\u2019ll still hear the indoor fan and other components running, but the compressor and refrigerant won\u2019t be doing their job. Therefore, any air you feel coming through the vents won\u2019t be cool.<\/p>\n

Check your electrical panel to see if any circuits have tripped in your electrical panel. Go ahead and reset them if so, and see if this solves the problem. If it does, but only temporarily, you might still have a problem so please do give us a call.<\/p>\n

Refrigerant Leak<\/h2>\n

If your air conditioning system is losing refrigerant, it\u2019s definitely time to call a professional for repair. There\u2019s a fairly common misconception about refrigerant\u2014in that it\u2019s something that \u201cruns out,\u201d like gasoline does from a car. However, refrigerant is actually recycles throughout the air conditioners\u2019 lifespan, ideally.<\/p>\n

And this refrigerant is essential for the air conditioner to remove heat from the air and provide cooling to your living space. Refrigerant doesn\u2019t run out, <\/em>as we said, but it can <\/em>leak out, and this is a common issue for aging air conditioners.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, when refrigerant levels do decline, your air conditioner loses its ability to cool. Worse than this, it puts your compressor at danger of overheating and burning out as a result, which is a big repair need, and oftentimes a reason to replace the entire air conditioner altogether.<\/p>\n
