AC Not Cooling Repair FAQ - New Canaan
Why is my AC blowing warm air?
Warm air typically indicates refrigerant issues, a failed compressor, or thermostat problems. Check that the thermostat is set to 'cool' mode and the temperature is set below room temperature. If settings are correct, professional diagnosis is needed.
Why is ice forming on my AC unit?
Ice formation indicates restricted airflow (dirty filters, blocked vents) or low refrigerant levels. Both cause the evaporator coil to get too cold. Turn off the AC to allow ice to melt, replace filters, and call for service if ice returns.
How often should AC refrigerant be recharged?
Properly functioning AC systems never need refrigerant 'topping off' - they're sealed systems. If refrigerant is low, there's a leak that must be found and repaired. Simply adding refrigerant without fixing leaks wastes money and harms the environment.
