Likely Reasons Your Air Conditioner Is Not Blowing Cold Air 

  • Low or Leaking Refrigerant: Refrigerants play a vital role in absorbing and releasing heat. When you have low levels, your system works much harder to cool the air.
  • Faulty Thermostat: Sometimes, your thermostat may wrongly tell the unit to blow warmer air if it’s not properly calibrated. 
  • Dirty Filters: As your filters clog up with dirt and dust, they restrict airflow and overheat the unit. In that case, safety switches may direct it to blow hot air or shut down. 
  • Ductwork Issues: Punctures in your ductwork leak air, making it harder for the AC to maintain a steady flow of cold air. 
  • Damaged Coils: Blocked coils diminish the heat escaping your home, making cooling much harder.
