Is your AC<\/a> blowing warm air instead of cooling your Orlando home? In Florida\u2019s heat, that\u2019s a problem you can\u2019t ignore.<\/p>\r\n Sometimes, the fix is simple; other times, you\u2019ll need a professional. Here\u2019s a quick checklist to help you troubleshoot and know when to call United Air Temp.<\/p>\r\n If your air conditioner blows warm air instead of cool, there\u2019s usually a reason. Here are a few possible causes.<\/p>\r\n It might seem obvious but double-check your thermostat<\/a>. Someone could\u2019ve accidentally switched it to \u201cheat\u201d or raised the temperature so high that the AC won\u2019t turn on. Ensure it\u2019s set to \u201ccool\u201d and the fan to \u201cauto.\u201d<\/p>\r\n A clogged air filter blocks airflow and can make your system work harder than it should. That strain can cause poor cooling and lead to warm air coming through your vents.<\/p>\r\n Your AC needs refrigerant to absorb heat and cool your home. If levels are low due to a leak or other issue, your system won\u2019t be able to cool properly and may push warm air.<\/p>\r\n If the indoor unit is running but the outdoor unit isn\u2019t, there could be an issue with a tripped breaker or blown fuse. Without both parts working together, you\u2019ll feel warm air.<\/p>\r\n When your outdoor unit is covered in debris or dirt, it can\u2019t properly release heat. That backup causes your AC to blow warm air into your home instead of cool air.<\/p>\r\n Yes, frozen coils can stop your system from cooling. When airflow is restricted or refrigerant is low, moisture on the coils can freeze up and block the cooling process altogether.<\/p>\r\n If your AC is blowing warm air, it\u2019s smart to turn it off. Running it while something\u2019s wrong can worsen the issue and lead to more expensive repairs<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n Here\u2019s what could happen:<\/p>\r\n Before calling for help, you can check a few quick things on your own. These simple steps might solve the problem or give you an idea of what\u2019s going wrong.<\/p>\r\n Ensure your thermostat is set to \u201ccool\u201d and not \u201cheat\u201d or \u201cfan.\u201d It should also be set several degrees below the current room temperature.<\/p>\r\n If the filter looks dirty or clogged, replace it. A clean filter helps your system breathe and keeps air flowing properly.<\/p>\r\n Look for dirt, leaves, or debris around your outside AC unit. Clear away anything blocking it, and make sure the fan is spinning when the unit is on.<\/p>\r\n If your outdoor unit isn\u2019t running, check your breaker box. A tripped breaker could be cutting power to part of your system.<\/p>\r\n Turn the system off if you see frost or ice buildup on the indoor unit. This usually means restricted airflow or a refrigerant issue. A refrigerant issue requires professional AC repair<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n Go room to room and check all vents. Closed or blocked vents can affect airflow and cause cooling problems.<\/p>\r\n If your AC is still blowing warm air after trying these steps, it\u2019s time to call United Air Temp.
