Your AC system is not blowing cold air . From simple dirty filters that need to be replaced, to the more technical as well as electrical issues. Several things that may cause your air conditioning system not to blow the cold air accustomed to. Let’s begin by exploring some of those issues and hopefully this will educate our valued homeowners.
A Dirty Air Filter Can Block Your Cold Air Flow!
Another issue facing your air conditioner during its peak season of operation brought on by dirty air filters. The air filter in your system already designed to restrict the air flow simply by its presence. Add to that, a totally blocked filter media from dust, dirt, and other foreign debris and this will leave your nice cool air flow blocked from cooling you and your rooms, and it will create further problems.
Blocked or dirty air filters will cause your unit to cool unevenly, allowing some rooms to be too cold while others seem to be not receiving any cold air at all. Blocked filters can trap pockets of cold air in and around your air conditioner coils causing icing issues that will eventually lead to water damage from the ice.
With all the talk in this past year about the quality of the indoor air that we breathe, wouldn’t it seem to be in your best interest to not only change your air filter monthly, but consider upgrading to a better filter choice! Air filter replacements are a part of any HVAC maintenance program, but it is also something that you as a homeowner can make sure happens every month, again protecting your investment.

Thermostat and Cooling Switch Issues
The thermostat of your system is essentially the user interface between you and your air conditioner.
If your thermostat happens to be one of the older ‘analog’ types, it can be prone to either being out of calibration or basic malfunctions as it is just like any other device in your home and could be subject to failure at any given moment. Having a professional technician to come and properly diagnose any thermostat malfunctions tends to be one of the rather simpler solutions when air conditioners begin blowing less cold air. Sometimes, it can be as simple as the cooling switch being inadvertently switched ‘off.’
Your thermostat is also much like the air filter in that now may be a good time to consider an upgrade! The newer and more efficient digital thermostats can implement the latest thermostat technology to make your older air conditioning system perform like new!
