5 Common Problems That Cause an AC System to Blow Warm Air

Maintaining your indoor comfort in Palm Coast, FL, is essential when the weather turns hot and humid. When your air conditioner blows warm air, you need to take action. Here are five common problems that cause an AC system to blow warm air:

Dirty Air Filter

Homeowners frequently neglect to change their AC system’s air filter as frequently as they should. Clogged air filters prevent free airflow, causing every part of your system to work harder. The dirtier the filter, the warmer the airflow.

Inadequate Refrigerant Levels

Your AC system needs proper levels of refrigerant to keep the coils cold and produce cool air. Refrigerant levels can drop due to leaks or normal usage. Avoid this problem by having one of our experienced service technicians check your AC system regularly through our maintenance program.

Your Home Feels Too Humid

Ideal indoor relative humidity should range tween 40% and 60%. Once indoor humidity levels rise about 65%, your central air conditioner will blow moisture-laden air that feels warm and uncomfortable. Consider adding a whole-home dehumidifier to lighten the load on your AC system and substantially increase interior comfort.

Incorrect Thermostat Setting

Before calling us, check the temperature setting on your thermostat. A high temperature setting will cause the central air conditioner to blow warm air. If you’ve lowered the setting, have a clean air filter and had a recent maintenance check-up, the problem could involve wiring or another fault within the thermostat. Schedule AC repairs to remedy the problem.

Faulty AC Compressor

As your AC system ages, it can experience major problems like a malfunctioning compressor. This component is responsible for circulating coolant through the air conditioner. Weak or warm airflow and banging noises can indicate a faulty compressor that requires AC repair.

When your air conditioner blows hot air or has another problem, you can rely on our team. For reliable AC repair service, contact Arctic Breeze Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc. today to schedule your appointment.
