Homeowners' pick for heating and cooling across north Florida and the Suwannee Valley

AC Not Cooling

If your AC is running but the air coming out of the vents is warm or barely cool, that is the call we take most in summer. We handle air conditioning repair for homes across Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, and a system that will not cool is almost always a diagnosis job before it is a parts job. Before you call, check the thermostat setting and batteries, look for a tripped breaker, and change a dirty filter. If it is still warm, get in touch and we will come look.

What an AC not cooling call involves

We start at the thermostat and work outward, because the fix is sometimes a setting and sometimes a failed part. We check the indoor blower and the airflow through the return, then move to the outdoor unit to see whether the compressor and fan are actually running. Refrigerant pressures, capacitor condition and electrical connections get tested with meters, not guesses. A house that has been climbing all day takes hours to pull back down, so we tell you what to expect once the repair is done.

What we check and what we replace

Common culprits are a failed run capacitor, a contactor that has burned its contacts, a clogged filter starving the coil, a frozen evaporator, or a refrigerant leak somewhere in the line set. On well water properties and sandy lots we also see condenser coils packed with grass clippings and dust, which chokes heat rejection. We clear debris, wash coils, replace failed electrical parts, find and repair leaks, and get the charge correct. If the compressor itself is gone, we lay out your options plainly.

How we decide repair is the right call

Age, condition and what failed all matter. A capacitor or contactor on a healthy ten-year-old heat pump is a straightforward air conditioner repair and worth doing. A leaking coil on a system that has already lost refrigerant twice is a different conversation, and we will say so instead of selling you another patch. We look at duct condition and airflow too, because a system that never cooled well from day one may have a sizing or duct problem no part swap will fix.

AC Not Cooling — quick answers

Why is my AC running constantly but not cooling?

Usually low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty condenser coil, or a failing compressor. The system runs and runs because it cannot remove enough heat. Keep the filter clean and call us for a diagnosis.

My outdoor unit has ice on it. Should I turn it off?

Yes. Switch the system to off and leave the fan on to thaw the coil. Ice usually means restricted airflow or low refrigerant. Change the filter, then call us before running it in cooling again.

The indoor fan blows but the outdoor unit is silent. What is wrong?

Often a tripped breaker, a failed capacitor, or a bad contactor. You can safely check the breaker once. If it trips again or the unit stays quiet, stop there and let us test the electrical parts.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Tell us the symptoms

    You describe what changed. No cold air, a breaker that keeps tripping, water near the air handler, a smell, a noise. That gives us a head start on parts before we ever leave the shop.

  2. Step 2

    We diagnose on site

    A technician checks the thermostat, the electrical side, airflow through the filter and coil, refrigerant behavior and the outdoor unit. We look at the whole system, because a frozen coil usually points somewhere else.

  3. Step 3

    You decide the repair

    We explain what failed, what it takes to fix it, and how long the rest of the system is likely to hold up. You pick the repair. We do not start work you did not approve.

Why homeowners call us

  • Rural routes are normal for usWe drive long stretches between calls and we plan for it. Trucks carry the common heat pump and air conditioner repair parts so a diagnosis does not turn into a second trip on a hot afternoon.
  • Heat pumps and sandy soilMost homes we visit run a heat pump, and sand, lawn clippings and pollen pack the outdoor coil fast. We clear it, check the defrost side in winter, and show you what we found before we close it up.
  • Well water housesHomes on well water bring their own quirks, from pump-driven electrical noise to hard water on drain lines and condensate pans. We know where those systems clog and where the slow leaks hide.
  • Heating repair tooCold snaps in this region are short and hard. We do heating repair and heater repair on heat pumps, strip heat and furnaces, so one crew handles your system in July and again in January.
  • All major brands, gas & electricOne independent crew for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem and more.
  • Straight answersIf a system is not worth repairing, we say so, often right on the phone.
