An air conditioning unit is supposed to cool your house, not warm it. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polarbearairconditioning.com\/air-conditioning\/northern-virginia-air-conditioning\">Alexandria, VA<\/a>, air conditioning repair is no laughing matter; no one wants hot air blowing into their homes in the middle of a Virginia summer heat wave. But why would an AC blow hot air in the first place? Why is it that the fan seems to work fine, but the cooling process is ineffective?<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, the explanation may be very simple. Your thermostat may have been set to a \u201cfan\u201d or \u201cheat\u201d setting, which blows plenty of air around, but doesn\u2019t cool it (check on this before you contact a service professional). Another common \u2013 and more serious \u2013 cause of warm air flow is a low level of refrigerant in your air conditioning system. Without enough refrigerant, the air won\u2019t be cooled properly, and a leak in refrigerant lines means that a service technician will need to hunt down the source of the leak and recharge the system.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, if the air conditioning system isn\u2019t properly maintained, then dust may build up on key components like the condenser coils or evaporator coils. That can impact the system\u2019s ability to cool the air. You may also be facing a dirty air filter or damaged ducts, which impede the overall flow of air and may affect the flow of cool air into your home.<\/p>\n<p>Unless the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polarbearairconditioning.com\/air-conditioning\/thermostats\">thermostat<\/a> has been set incorrectly, all of these issues mean opening up the air conditioning system and checking for problems, a task best performed by a professional.When your AC starts blowing warm air, call the experts at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polarbearairconditioning.com\/contact\">Polar Bear Air Conditioning<\/a>. <strong>Contact us today and set up a service call; we\u2019ll be there to do the job right, and are committed to your 100% satisfaction.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It doesn\u2019t take an expert to figure out that something\u2019s wrong when your AC blows warm air.
