When you have a central air conditioning system for your\nhouse, you expect it to \u2026 well, cool<\/em> the house. You set the thermostat\nto a comfortable temperature, and after about ten minutes, you should have the\nlevel of cooling necessary to keep your household happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when an AC is running but not able to deliver the comfort\nit should, it\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But \u2026 what kind of problem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have more than 40 years of experience working on repairing air conditioning systems in Malvern, CA<\/a>, so we\u2019re the people you can turn to for the help you need to get your cooling system back to work. Below we\u2019ve listed some of the reasons you may have an under-performing central AC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Clogged Air Filter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the most common source of a low-cooling air\nconditioner. Thankfully, it\u2019s an easy one to correct and may not require calling\nfor professionals. The filter located in the HVAC cabinet must be replaced with\na clean filter every one to three months or the trapped debris in it will throttle\nthe airflow into the air conditioner. The less air enters the AC, the less air\nis cooled and sent into the ventilation system. Change the air filter and see\nif this improves cooling\u2014and remind yourself to change the filter regularly through\nthe summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faulty Thermostat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When your house won\u2019t cool down enough, you\u2019ll probably\nspend some time adjusting the thermostat to attempt to overcome it. But the\nthermostat may be the source of the problem. A simple miscalibration that causes\nthe thermostat to misread the temperature will throw off home cooling. The\nthermostat may have lost its connection to the AC, or have failed programming. Technicians\ncan repair or replace the thermostat to fix this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaky Air Ducts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The air conditioning problem may be due to the ductwork\nresponsible for distributing cool air around the house. The ducts can develop\nleaks over time, and this allows the cool air to begin to escape from the ventilation\nsystem before it reaches the room. This not only means less cooled air getting\nto rooms, but a drop in air pressure throughout and ventilation system that\naffects the entire house. To fix this, you must have professionals test the\nducts and seal the holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short-Cycling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is symptom of a number of different problems in an air\nconditioner. When the AC can\u2019t complete a full cooling cycle and instead turns\non and off in quick cycles, it won\u2019t have enough time to properly cool the\nhouse. This could be due to a clogged air filter, leaking refrigerant, a dying\ncompressor, or a number of other issues. HVAC professionals must diagnose the\nproblem first and then find the right remedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undersized AC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the air conditioner is new, the problem may be that the\nsystem was badly installed\u2014it\u2019s too small for the house. In this case, the only\nsolution is to have professionals (not the people who originally installed the\nAC) to replace the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
