Why is my air conditioning warm? If you live in Tempe, the last thing you want to wonder about this summer is why your air conditioner is pumping stifling air.
Fortunately, finding the answer isn't difficult. A Tempe AC repair expert could explain the main reasons for this.
AC Maintenance Can Fix Thermostat Set Wrong
The fan setting controls the fan in your air conditioner's inner unit on your thermostat. It may sound counterintuitive, but the fan setting on your thermostat should be AUTO, not ON, to appropriately cool your home. An air conditioner cools the air in your home in cycles. If they set the fan setting on your thermostat to "ON," the fan will run continually, whether it is blowing hot or chilly air.
If the air coming out of your AC vents is only warm, this is the problem. If this isn't the problem, have your AC maintenance check it out during your next visit.
Tempe AC Maintenance Cleans Dirty Air Filter
Your air filter catches dust and particles in the air, keeping your air conditioner's workings clean and the air you breathe clean as well. However, if you keep your air filter in for an extended period, it will become clogged with dirt and useless, as well as causing worthless damage to your air conditioner.
Air cannot reach your AC unit indoors because of a clogged air filter. If your air conditioner isn't getting enough air, it will struggle to cool your home effectively. It could cause a costly AC repair but Rescue One Air offers reasonable AC repair rates.
Dirty Outside AC Unit
Debris, leaves, and other debris might obstruct your outdoor air conditioner. When debris obstructs your air conditioner's exterior, it will struggle to cool the air in your home efficiently.
Fix 1: Clean the outside AC once a year using a garden hose on a low setting. If you use a power washer, you risk bending the fins, which will cause a lack of cool air because of limited ventilation.
Fix 2: It's far better to leave this to Tempe AC maintenance pros. They're completely insured and can fix any minor faults before they turn into a major expense.
Tempe AC Maintenance Checks Tripped Breakers
There are two breakers on your air conditioner: one for the outside company and one for the interior company. If the breaker on the outdoor unit trips, the inside unit will continue to push air into your home, but it will not be cool air.
Your professional air conditioning maintenance may check both breakers, and they can check out why the breaker was tripped. It could be nothing, or it could show something more significant.
