When your air conditioner stops cooling in the middle of a Texas summer, it’s more than an inconvenience; it’s an emergency. At Apex Electrical A/C & Heating, we’ve helped countless homeowners in New Braunfels restore their comfort quickly and affordably.
Before you panic, here are a few reasons why your AC might not be cooling, and what you can do about it.
A clogged air filter restricts airflow and makes your AC work overtime. This not only reduces cooling efficiency but can also cause system overheating.
Quick Fix: Replace your filter every 1–3 months, depending on usage and air quality.
Refrigerant is the fluid that absorbs and removes heat from your home. If it’s low, you might have a leak.
Warning Sign: You hear hissing noises or notice ice on the evaporator coils.
In this case, it’s time to call the professionals at Apex Electrical A/C & Heating for a thorough inspection and refill.
Sometimes, the issue is as simple as incorrect settings or a faulty thermostat.
Tip: Set the thermostat to “cool” mode and ensure the batteries are fresh. If that doesn’t work, you may need a replacement or recalibration.
Frozen coils usually indicate restricted airflow or low refrigerant. When this happens, your system can’t absorb heat effectively.
Quick Action: Turn off your AC for a few hours to let the coils thaw, then check the filter and schedule professional service.
The outdoor condenser releases heat removed from your home. When covered in dirt or debris, it can’t perform efficiently.
Tip: Keep at least 2 feet of clearance around the outdoor unit and clean it gently with a garden hose.
If you’ve tried these quick checks and your AC still isn’t cooling, the issue could be electrical or mechanical.
