A/C Not Cooling

Air is blowing but it's not cold — here's what's actually happening.

Call (209) 216-7240

Symptoms you're seeing

  • Air from vents feels room temperature or warm
  • Outdoor unit may or may not be running
  • Indoor blower runs but no cold air
  • Thermostat keeps calling for cooling but never satisfies

What's actually causing it

Most likelyFailed run capacitor (most common single failure)
CommonRefrigerant leak — system low on charge
CommonFrozen evaporator coil from dirty filter or low refrigerant
PossibleFailed contactor or compressor
PossibleThermostat wiring fault

What to do right now

  1. 1Check the thermostat is set to COOL and the temp is below room temp
  2. 2Replace the air filter if it's been more than 60 days
  3. 3Check the outdoor breaker — sometimes a power surge trips it
  4. 4Look at the outdoor coil — if iced up, shut the system off and let it thaw
  5. 5Don't keep cycling the system — short-cycling kills compressors

When to call us

If the steps above don't restore cooling within an hour, or you hear unusual noises from the outdoor unit, call us. Running a damaged A/C in 100°F+ heat can turn a $300 capacitor swap into a $4,000 compressor replacement.

Estimated cost
$180–$650 for most repairs (capacitor, contactor, refrigerant top-off). Compressor failure: $1,800–$3,500.

FAQs

How long can I run the A/C if it's not cooling?

Don't. If it's blowing warm, you have a problem — running it harder won't fix it and may damage the compressor.

Why is my A/C frozen?

Almost always a dirty filter or low refrigerant. Both restrict airflow over the evaporator coil and let it ice up.
