AC Repair FAQs
There are several reasons why your home AC unit may be running but not cooling:
- Dirty air filter: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and cause your AC to work harder, which can result in reduced cooling capacity.
- Refrigerant leak: A refrigerant leak can cause your AC to blow warm air instead of cool air.
- Frozen evaporator coil: A frozen evaporator coil can also cause your AC to blow warm air. This can be caused by a dirty air filter, low refrigerant levels, or a malfunctioning fan.
- Faulty compressor: If the compressor isn't working properly, your AC may not be able to cool the air.
- Thermostat issues: If your thermostat is malfunctioning or not calibrated correctly, it may not be sending the right signals to your AC, which can result in poor cooling performance.
If you are experiencing this issue, it's recommended to call a licensed HVAC technician to diagnose and repair the problem to avoid further damage to your AC.
To unclog an AC condenser coil:
- Turn off the power to your AC unit.
- Remove any debris or vegetation that may be obstructing the coil.
- Use a garden hose to spray the coil from the inside out.
If the coil is still clogged, you may need to use a commercial coil cleaner or call a licensed HVAC technician to perform a thorough cleaning.

How Can I Tell If My Air Conditioner Needs Repair?
You don't have to be an HVAC professional to spot the signs that something's amiss with your air conditioner. The longer a problem goes unresolved the more damage it can potentially do, so it's an excellent idea to keep a few of these things in mind. As they say, forewarned is forearmed - and being forearmed can help prevent a minor thing from turning into a major disaster.
Here are some things you can watch out for:
- Warm Air - This one may seem like a no-brainer, but it's still worth mentioning. If you have the thermostat set for cool and the only air you feel is warm, there's a problem.
- Elevated Humidity - Keeping things cool isn't your AC's only job. It also contributes to maintaining comfortable humidity in your home. If it feels as sticky inside as out, there could be an issue.
- Awful Smells - We know Florida is known for its swamps, but your air conditioner shouldn't be putting out swampy odors. If you notice that kind of stink coming out of your vents, give us a call.
- Bang, Bang - It's an air conditioner, not a drum kit. Let us know if your unit starts making banging, grinding or screeching noises because something is definitely wrong.
- Off & On & Off & On - A sure sign you're in need of repair is an AC that continually cycles. It should be able to come on, get things to a steady temperature, and maintain them with minimal activity. If it's always turning off and on, it's not reading - or maintaining - temperatures correctly.
- High Energy Bills - It's possible this is the worst one. If your air conditioner is working too hard, or too often, then it's drawing more energy. Drawing more energy means your power bill goes up. Nobody wants that.
