Common Problems With Your Air Conditioner Blowing Warm Air Tend To Be:
Hot days in the Sacramento Valley are miserable without a fully functional cooling system. Throughout Folsom, Granite Bay, Roseville, El Dorado Hills and surrounding cities, during summertime, you have to have a air conditioning system to stay cool.
1. A Change in the Settings: First thing to check before calling out a technician is if your thermostat has accidentally been switched from "cool" to "heat". To resume cool air once again, just simply switch it back to "cool". This common error happens more than you would think!
2. A Clogged Air Filter: You wouldn't believe the number of homeowners who neglect to change their air filter regularly. Personally, on several inspections, I have seen filters that haven't been replaced in ten or more years. A dirty air filter might now be the primary cause of hot air blowing out of your air conditioner, but it sure may be a leading factor. Last thing you want in your home is your filter clogging your condensing coils. If you can't remember the last time you changed out your filter, we recommend you do so pronto! Changing out the filter is simple and low-cost.
3. Refrigerant Problems: As your compressor ages, the possibility of a refrigerant leak increases and may lead to your air conditioner not blowing anymore cool air (which is not fun in the middle of summer!).
4. Condenser and Compressor: The outside unit (condenser), commonly referred to your air conditioner has a compressor inside of it. Check to see if your outside power is on and functioning. If your outside power is turned off, you are blowing warm air from the handler inside. Often times, the condenser unit may have dir or debris build up from over time, which leads to clogging, in turn an inefficient air conditioner that blows warm air, increases your utility bill and causes allergies.
If you have tried fixing the above common problems yourself and can't figure it out, Sierra Heating and Air is one call away!
