Why Your AC Is Running but Not Cooling
It can be frustrating to deal with an AC unit that you can hear running but know is not cooling your space. There are several possible reasons for this, and our experienced technicians can help you pinpoint the cause. We’ll also give you some maintenance pointers for the future.
These reasons are:
The Thermostat
This is the easy solution. Sometimes, the thermostat may be set to "fan" mode instead of "cool" mode, causing the AC to circulate air without actually cooling it. Double-checking and adjusting the thermostat settings can quickly resolve this issue.
The Air Filters
Another common reason is a dirty air filter. When the filter becomes clogged with dust and debris, it restricts airflow, making it hard for your AC to cool your home effectively. Regularly cleaning or replacing the air filter can often solve this issue and improve the overall efficiency of your system.
The Refrigerant Levels
The refrigerant is essential for the cooling process, and if there’s a leak or it's simply running low, your AC unit won’t be able to cool the air properly. Low refrigerant levels typically need a professional technician to locate and repair any leaks before the system can be refilled.
Unit Obstruction
You will want to check for obstructions around the outdoor unit. The condenser coil needs adequate airflow to dissipate heat effectively, and any debris like leaves, grass, or dirt can impede this process. Keeping the area around your outdoor unit clean can enhance its performance.
These are some of the most common causes of a malfunctioning AC unit. However, there are other cases where the problem might be more complex, such as a failing compressor or electrical issues within the unit. These types of problems will generally need our professional diagnosis and repair.

The Signs of a Failing AC Unit
When your unit fails to cool the house, it’s an obvious sign of failure. Other signs may not be as direct, but should still prompt a call to our office:
- Unusual noises: Grinding, squealing, or banging coming from your AC unit are clear indicators that something is wrong. These noises often point to mechanical issues or worn-out components that need immediate attention.
- Frequent cycles: An AC unit that constantly turns on and off, known as short cycling, can be a sign of an underlying problem. This could be due to a faulty thermostat, low refrigerant levels, or other internal issues that reduce efficiency and increase wear and tear.
- Bad odors: Foul smells emanating from your AC system suggest mold, mildew, or burnt wiring within the unit. These odors not only affect your indoor air quality but also indicate that professional cleaning or repairs may be necessary.
- High humidity levels: A core function of your AC unit is to control the humidity levels inside your home. If your living space feels more humid than usual, it could mean that your air conditioning is no longer able to regulate moisture effectively.
- Increased energy bills: A spike in your costs without any change in usage on your part can signal that your unit is losing efficiency. Older units or those with failing components tend to work harder to achieve the desired temperature, consuming more energy in the process.
