\"Man<\/p>\n

You can hear your air conditioner<\/a> and know that it must be running, but your home doesn\u2019t feel any cooler. Sound familiar? It\u2019s a frustrating problem to have, especially in the middle of summer when days are long and more humid, but there are some simple steps you can take to help solve the issue. All you need is to know what you\u2019re looking for and a little spare time.<\/p>\n

Here we take a look at some key troubleshooting tips to help troubleshoot when you suspect your air conditioner isn\u2019t doing its job to cool your home.<\/p>\n

Checking Areas Around Your Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First, we recommend you look for a few common sources of inefficiency around your home. There is a chance one of these issues is the reason your air conditioner is not cooling.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Close all doors and windows<\/li>\n
  2. Uncover all vents, even in rooms you are not using<\/li>\n
  3. Turn off any humidifiers<\/li>\n
  4. Thermostat is set to \u201cAuto\u201d not \u201cOn\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. Reset your air conditioner (if applicable)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If none of these solutions help, it\u2019s time to take a closer look at your air conditioning unit.<\/p>\n

    Troubleshooting AC Problems and Solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The best way to keep your air conditioner cooling your home is through regular maintenance, including inspections from an HVAC<\/a> technician. Even with that maintenance, however, you may find yourself troubleshooting an air conditioner that is running without doing much else.<\/p>\n

    If this is the case, you will want to inspect these additional elements for symptoms that your AC isn\u2019t running as well as it should and see if you can make simple improvements before calling in an expert:<\/p>\n
