Why Your AC Is Blowing Warm Air
Why Your AC Is Blowing Warm Air
If you live in the southern part of the United States, you are already aware of the need for reliable air conditioning during the summer months. If your AC is blowing warm air or is not cooling your home or business adequately, working with a qualified cooling system contractor is the best approach to resolving these issues and restoring cool comfort indoors. Here are three primary reasons that your air conditioning system may not function properly this summer.
Dirty HVAC Filters
The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) recommends changing HVAC filters at least once every three months to prevent issues with your heating and cooling system. Failing to replace your filters regularly can reduce airflow throughout your cooling system and can overwork it, leading to breakdowns and the need for emergency AC repair services. This can add up to reduced indoor comfort and increased expenses for your budget.
Low Refrigerant Levels
Another reason your cooling system may be delivering warm air to your indoor space is a lack of refrigerant in your system. The U.S. Department of Energy cites low refrigerant levels usually due to small leaks as a leading cause of air conditioning system breakdowns. Regular maintenance allows a technician to discover and fix low refrigerant issue. Regular maintenance will help to keep you cool all summer long.
Condensate Line Clogs
Your HVAC system's condensate drain line allows moisture that collects inside your cooling system to drain away safely. When your condensate line becomes clogged with dirt and algae, it can allow water to build up inside your HVAC system’s drain pan, perhaps causing damage to floors or ceilings, and causing your AC to blow warm air. Scheduling a spring maintenance visit allows the AC technician to check the condensate line and avoid these issues, maintaining your indoor comfort all summer long.
