A/C Not Cooling
Air is blowing but it's not cold — here's what's actually happening.
Call (209) 216-7240Symptoms 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
- 1Check the thermostat is set to COOL and the temp is below room temp
- 2Replace the air filter if it's been more than 60 days
- 3Check the outdoor breaker — sometimes a power surge trips it
- 4Look at the outdoor coil — if iced up, shut the system off and let it thaw
- 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.
