Is your AC running but not cooling your house? Before you call an HVAC technician, there are a few simple things you NEED to check that could save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

In this video, I walk you through 5 essential AC troubleshooting steps every homeowner should know when their air conditioner isn’t cooling properly.

Whether your system is blowing warm air, running constantly, or just not keeping up — this guide will help you understand what’s going on and what to do next.

✅ What You’ll Learn (Step-by-Step)

-Check Your Air Filter
A clogged or dirty air filter can restrict airflow and cause your system to freeze up, leading to poor cooling performance.

-Check Your Thermostat Settings
Make sure your thermostat is set correctly (cool mode, proper temperature, fan settings) and not causing the issue.

-Shut Off the System if Frozen
If your system is frozen, turn it OFF immediately using the furnace switch or breaker to prevent damage.
-Turn Off Power at the Disconnect
-Learn how to safely shut off power to your outdoor AC unit using the disconnect box.
-Inspect Airflow & Blocked Vents
Blocked vents, furniture, or airflow issues can prevent your home from cooling properly.

⚠️ Important Tips
Don’t run heat or fan to “force thaw” unless absolutely necessary
Running a frozen system can cause serious damage
Always prioritize safety when shutting off power
