Have you ever found yourself sweltering in the summer heat, wiping sweat from your brow, and wondering, “Why is my AC running but not cooling?” It’s a question that can turn a blissful summer day into a sweltering nightmare faster than you can say “freon.”

You see, this predicament isn’t just about discomfort. It’s about your peace of mind, your electric bill, and yes, your sanity. Let’s dive in and explore why your trusty air conditioner might be acting more like a hot air blower, and eventually, why KadeCo Inc. is the hero you didn’t know you needed.

The Common Culprits of a Misbehaving AC

Dirty Air Filters

Air conditioners and dirty air filters are like oil and water—they just don’t mix. A clogged air filter severely hampers the airflow, causing your AC to work overtime for minimal output. Not only does this reduce efficiency, but it also puts unnecessary strain on your unit.

What You Can Do: For a quick fix, change your air filters. Ideally, this should be done every 1-3 months.

Thermostat Issues

You might be saying, “But I’m tech-savvy! My thermostat works just fine!” Hold your horses. Even the best tech gadgets can go haywire. Sometimes, the thermostat might be set incorrectly, or there might be a technical glitch.

What You Can Do: Start by ensuring the thermostat is set to “cool” and at the right temperature. Try replacing the batteries or resetting it.

Refrigerant Leaks

Think of refrigerant as the magical potion in your AC. When there’s a leak, the cooling power diminishes, leading to a lukewarm disaster.

What You Can Do: This is where you need a professional. Call KadeCo Inc. and let the experts handle it.

Blocked Condenser Unit

Your outdoor condenser unit might be hidden behind a jungle of foliage or caked in layers of dust and debris, effectively blocking airflow and causing your system to overheat.

What You Can Do: Clear out any debris or trim back plants that are crowding your condenser unit.

More Technical Issues That Might Be The Culprit

Faulty Capacitors

Capacitors are the heart of your AC unit. These little guys store energy and kick your unit into gear. If they go bad, your AC might run, but it won’t cool.

What You Can Do: This is another task best left to the professionals. KadeCo Inc. can assess and replace bad capacitors swiftly.

Broken Fans

Your AC consists of two fans: one that blows indoor air over the evaporator coils, and another that blows air over the condenser. If either fan is faulty, cooling will be compromised.

What You Can Do: A professional from KadeCo Inc. can diagnose and repair or replace broken fans.

Frozen Evaporator Coils

When your evaporator coils freeze, it restricts the airflow. Oddly, this can happen even during the middle of summer.

What You Can Do: Turn off your AC and let the coils defrost. If the problem persists, call in the cavalry—KadeCo Inc.
