In this guide, we’ll share the most common reasons your AC isn’t cooling and the best steps to get it back on track.
1. Clogged or Dirty Air Filter
-
Dust and debris block airflow, making your system work harder.
-
Solution: Change filters every 1–2 months in Florida’s humid climate.
2. Low Refrigerant Levels
-
Refrigerant leaks cause poor cooling and ice buildup on coils.
-
Solution: A certified technician must locate and repair leaks before recharging refrigerant.
3. Dirty Condenser Coils
-
Outdoor coils covered in dirt or grass clippings can’t release heat efficiently.
-
Solution: Professional coil cleaning improves performance immediately.
4. Faulty Thermostat
-
Incorrect settings or dead batteries can cause AC misfires.
-
Solution: Check settings and replace batteries before calling for service.
5. Failing Compressor
-
If the compressor isn’t functioning, the system can’t cool air at all.
-
Solution: Often requires professional repair or system replacement.
