Does your air conditioner blow warm air instead of cooling your home? It’s easy for anyone to tell that this isn’t what your unit should be doing, but what can you do to rectify the problem? There are a few factors that cause your HVAC unit to blow warm air instead of cool air in the summer season, and it’s a good idea to know what you are up against. Here are the biggest contributing factors to what may be making your unit blow warm air.
Faulty Thermostat
First of all, make sure that your thermostat is set correctly. You never know if a family member adjusted it or perhaps it is just faulty. Faulty thermostats will send the wrong signals to your HVAC unit, resulting in an undesired result. It may not be communicating with your unit, which is why you are getting warmer air than you need.
Coils are Dirty
Next, check the coils on your air conditioner and see how dirty they are. How cool your air will be is based off of how much your coils can absorb and disperse thermal energy. Outside units are open to the elements, leading to dirt and debris blocking your coils and fan.
Refrigerant is Low
Lastly, your unit may just be out of juice. If there isn’t any refrigerant, your air conditioner cannot function properly and give you the cool air you desire. You may be losing refrigerant because of a leak, so make sure you look at the hoses if you believe that you are losing refrigerant.
