Lack of Air Circulation
Air conditioners need plenty of air circulation to operate correctly. Start by checking your air filter and being sure it’s clean. Clean air filters can not only improve your air conditioner’s performance but can help save significant amounts of energy.
Then, head on outside and be sure your unit is not buried under leaves, grass, weeds or other yard debris. If there are things blocking the outside unit, take the time to clear them away. Once that’s taken care of, check the inside unit for any blockages or clogs that may be restricting airflow there.
Too Much Ice
Sometimes restricted airflow and dirty condenser coils can cause a buildup of ice on the outside portion of your air conditioning system. If too much ice builds up, it can cause your air conditioner to malfunction and blow only hot air.
If a great deal of ice exists, you may need to turn off your entire system and allow it to defrost. Once the ice melts, clean the condenser coils, and turn your system back on to see if it functions properly. If it doesn’t, call one of our professionals to help.
Mechanical Problems
An air conditioner has many complex parts, and if any of them malfunction, it can cause your unit to blow hot air. If you cannot resolve your air conditioning problem with simple fixes, it may be time to call an HVAC professional to inspect your air conditioning system.
