Why Is My AC Blowing Warm Air?

Why Is My AC Blowing Warm Air?

This summer, especially if your in Phoenix, you might wind up asking yourself

why is my AC blowing warm air?

There are multiple answers to that question, we’ll cover most of the common reasons.

Your thermostat could be a reason why your

and that could be because it’s simply set to the “on” setting instead of “auto”. Your thermostat when cooling your home in the summer has to be set to “auto” and have your desired temperature set in order to cool the coils and blow the cooled air from the coils throughout the home. When set to “on” the only part of your

(AC) that is working is your indoor blower fan (the fan that blows air over your coils), that means your unit is only blowing the air in your ducts. Just check your thermostat, make sure its set to “auto” instead of “on”.

. Condenser coils are the outside part to your AC, when in cooling mode your unit moves the heat from the evaporator coil (indoor part) to the outside unit. These coils can get so dirty that when the freon passes through to remove the heat outside it cant because of all the debris its covered in. The debris can be dust, leaves and whatever else its exposed to in the environment outside. Routine maintenance can definitely prevent this problem from occurring because if the technician sees your coils are dirty he will recommend a coil clean or tell you what you can do to keep them clean.

, it sits outside in your condenser coils as part of the condenser. In the summer AC’s and heat pump’s will use the compressor, to take refrigerant and carry it into a hot high-pressure state through the condenser coils, so that it carries the heat outside and keeps the cool inside. A compressor breakdown is not for rookies to diagnose, you will need one of our expert AC technicians to make his diagnoses before he finds that it is in fact your compressor. They can have electrical problems, bad flow of freon and over heating. This breakdown will definitely be a reason

. In cooling mode condensation occurs on the evaporator coil but that condensation build up is intended to evaporate (hence the name evaporator coil). When its night time and the temperature drops, if it gets below freezing then when the condensation occurs, instead of evaporating the moisture, it
