In the middle of August, the last thing that you will want to happen is your air conditioner blowing hot air into your home. When this happens, there are a few possibilities as to the cause of the problem:
- Check the thermostat. It isn’t uncommon for someone to accidentally bump into the thermostat and it change from “cool” to “heat”. It’s a silly mistake, but one that is easily fixed. So, check the thermostat first to rule this one out.
- You could have a refrigerant leak. These leaks can happen if there are breaks in the line or if the system was not installed properly. Call an HVAC professional if you suspect this to be the case. Refrigerants can be dangerous if you do not know how to handle them.
- Double check your air filter to make sure that it is not dirty. A filthy air filter can restrict the air flow, which can reduce the amount of cool air that is blowing through the registers. If this is the situation, then the solution is an easy one. Simply replace the dirty filters. Your local hardware store should have the correct size that you need.
- Check to see if the outside condenser is covered in debris which could block air flow. Remove and clear space around the unit to make sure it has enough room to be serviced and have proper air flow.
