Air Conditioner Not Cooling Enough [2 Simple Checks to Do Yourself]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ค. 2019
- In this video we give you two simple things to check if your home's air conditioner is not cooling enough. If your air conditioner is cooling, but not cooling very well or enough, you want to check two simple things before calling anyone to fix your air conditioner.
The first thing to check is your furnace air filter. A dirty air filter can restrict air flow and cause your air conditioner to not cool well. The second thing to check is the outdoor coil to make sure it is not dirty with dust, or dirt and debris from nearby trees and bushes. If the outdoor coil is clogged with dirt and debris, this can cause the air conditioner to not cool enough.
If you find that your outdoor condensing coil is clogged, you could try to clean yourself. It should be cleaned from the inside out. However we always recommend calling a professional if you are not trained to work on air conditioners. It is possible to wash out an air conditioner in a way that can damage some of the components. The furnace air filter is very easy to change yourself. A clogged filter often cause air conditioners to not cool enough especially in very hot seasons.

I cleaned inside filter only now its cool!!!! Thank you!!!!!
im litteraly burning in my room rn
Dude I'm literally walking on the sun rn
Cleaned the outside of the unit. Checked the return filter inside. I cant find the supply filter, I don't even know if I need to change another filter besides the return filter. This is an old brick house. Ac/furnace vents on the ground. Maybe it's the capacitor or compressor? Fan turns on from the ac control. Just blows very minimal cold air from the inside floor vents
@@Aph3x92 same bro did u ever fix it?
Found out to start with the thermostat batteries. Mine started cooling when I changed them. Also I try to change my filter ever 30 days. Good luck though. These units can be tricky
It's 90 right now at night.
Great advice! .... especially that it is short and sweet! THANK YOU !!
Thank you so much for your advice .you make my A/C unit working without even spend a penny .
Thank you for the information. Is there a separate filter on the AC unit? I replace my indoor filter frequently. I recently bought a spray can cleaner from Rheem at Home Depot. I usually buy most products from Lowe's but I did not see the Condenser cleaner. I noticed a big difference from just spraying water on the condenser coils. Even with the temperature in the San Joaquin Valley in California at the South end of the valley, where the temperatures having been running 110 F the inside of my mobile home has only gotten to 81 F. rather than 85 or 86 F. from before the cleaning. The Rheem AC unit is doing a better job of working and it is close to 15 years old already. So, your information does work.
After a long warm day this video helped me.
Thank you.
Last time just changed my filter and it worked great, now I did, but still no air out. Will try unit cleaning.
extremely helpful, thanks a lot!
Wonderful explain!!
Please make more HVAC videos,
Thanks
On the fins of the ac unit they have been pushed in accidently prior to me buying this house. The fins ,that are almost as fragile as aluminum foil,have gently been bent to the side occluding the gaps that allow the air to circulate by the fins to carry the heat out . There are several of these areas all around the AC . Is there a tool especially made that I can insert and straighten them. I imagine it would be designed much like a comb and hopefully most can be an easy enough job to straighten the fins back to near the original spacing.
thank you , great explanation
Thank you so much for your advice .
I counted 4 😄💪🏽. But this is a well-described tips than other videos.
My central ac unit (The part of the unit thats outside doing the cooling) has two factory inlet holes for the 2 heat exchange fluid hoses to go in and come out. Those holes are open and without any cover to prevent outside air blowing in. Is it ok for me to block those holes so air,mice and the like can go into the interior? I would think it may be enough air that the cooling could be compromised from the hot air , not to mention the sand that gets blown in when its windy. Im in the Southern calif desert and theres lots of heat wind and sand.Ill start covering it when it takes time off for the winter. No telling how much sand has blown in between the fins
Thank u, it helped me a lot
My AC unit stopped cooling. I didn’t know what to do other than call the repair company. I decided to change out the air filter which I found to be very dirty. About an hour later, my unit was blowing icicles. My house got so cold that I had to turn the thermostat to back off a little. It’s hitting mid to high nineties in Texas and it’s rough without AC! Thanks for the tips.
Are there two filters? I keep seeing videos where people go to the actual unit to change the filter but on mine the air filter is in the hallway by the thermostat
@@hola-munecas - just one per unit and usually located at your inside hallway.
@@tonioyendis4464 so, I changed our filter and apparently it didn’t fix the problem.. it’s been a day since i changed the filter and it hasn’t be any cooler than 74 F
Thanks for the tip, my filter was dirty and my condenser needed washing. Go figure. 2 for 2 :-)
Glad we could help!
Thanks a lot. I have just donei as you instructed then it works. God bless you and your family.
Wonderful news! Glad to help!
Great Video. I have a question.
I live in a 1500sqft condo in NJ. I have central air. Rheem HVAC. It gets hot in summers. Especially, I have cathedral ceilings and sun-roof (skylight) in the living room. I set-up the thermostat at 70. And outside is 80. After running for almost 4-5hrs temp does not change. The living room is cool but the bedrooms does not get enough cooling.
What could be potential reason
- Air Filter (checked it is clean)
- Capacitor
- Dirty Condenser coil
- Refrigerant.
Just wanted to know before I call a technician. To see if I can DIY. Especially Air Filter, Capacitor, Condenser coil. Last time, I called for maintenance it set me back $700.
Thank you so much!
I have a question for you so the house seems cool and it just hit 90 today now the indoor thermostat is reading 78 but like i said it feels cool or comfortable. now when I did what you said and checked outside compressor the fan was blowing cool air instead of hot greenery is cut back and I can remember hot or pretty warm air blowing out last week or so. Now i didn't check the very large filter yet to see if it was dirty because the tech guy said only change once a year. Question could the restricted or dirty filter cause the air from the compressor to blow out cool air??
Good content.
This is good video thanks👍
Our ac seems to not go below 73. Even before this heat wave, it wouldn't go below even though I have it set to 68. Also seems to be hitting 78 as the sun goes down, I'm guessing from the humidity. I just changed the filter and its still acting this way. Anything else I could try?
Dear, thanks for this channel, I have such a problem - it was hot in the morning - 27 degrees Celsius and the air conditioner, when turned on, cooled the air up to 20 degrees Celsius at the outlet of the air duct, and in the evening I measured the temperature of the tubes at the inlet of the air conditioner and one pipe of 24 degrees Celsius inlet and outlet pipe 9 degrees Celsius and froze over, and at the same time it was 22 degrees Celsius at the duct inlet and 24 degrees Celsius warm outside. In other words, the air conditioner does not cool as efficiently after 12 hours of operation - what's the problem here?
Hello, I have a Fridgedaire window ac unit. It blows ice cold and the filter is clean. We normally leave it set at 71 or 72. It started beeping, and it turns itself to 60, lowest setting and continues to beep about every 6 secs. Any ideas as to why?
I love this channel!
my ac blows but it's not cold and it makes a noise every so often, any tip? i am going to check the filter tomorrow. any help???
My AC installer put a 21x21.5x5 filter. It is not fiber glass. Is this filter to restictive? What filter do you recomind?
Could you please provide a link to the high efficiency air cleaner shown in this video!? That would be great thank you
Search “E-Maze filter” on google
Hi nice video, I have a question my AC unit in the summer can be set on 75 degrees and the room temp can read 75 but the AC continue to run for LONG periods of time with out cutting off, also at times if the temp outside my house is 95 my AC temp set on 75 but the house temp raise to 78 what makes this happend. I have a Trane AC unit outside and inside in the basement Help please thank you
My AC kicks in cold air when it first starts but once I set the temperature to 74, it will cool down the air from 77 (for example) to 74, then I can hear the AC turning off or going idle, but the air continues to be on. And after few minutes the air turns from cold to cool, then warm, then hot. Next thing I know, the temperature is up to 80. Like the AC never kicked in after turning itself off at 74.
How do you clean the coils? water hose? Thank you
This video made me look like an HVAC pro and likely saved me a ton of money
Mustve felt smart xD
Anyone know how to clean condensing unit from the inside out?
Are there two different filters on your air unit? I've never checked in the attic .. only the air filter inside the house that's usually 20x30x1 - the air filter he pulled out looks like it's one from the main central unit in the attic or something
No, there is only one filter on an HVAC unit. The one he pulled was just a fancy one.
Mine is in the ceiling in my living room. I don’t have one in the unit itself.
Is it okay for me to use water to clean unit??
question ? this year I start my AC but I forgot to unwrapped the cover that we used for the winter , the AC was working for half an hour , since than my AC doesn't give any cold air , I think we damaged the unit what is your opinion please ?
Did you figure it out? I have the same issue
So if the outside coil has dirt on it, what is the best way to clean it? Just hose it with water? Also, what about the evaprator coil inside, what is a good way to clean that and what can cause the inside coil to stop working properly?
Yes water but do not spray electrical directly
Awesome video
Thanks for educating the community and appreciate your volunteering.
Thanks to team for producing this video
Please please keep making videos on every small repair and maintenance short videos that would be your Social Service to the world
I wish Good Luck and Love
*Sir, please help me!🙏*
*The wire that connects the Ac to the outdoor fan, is too long(almost around 6-7 feet) and too disorganized, I mean those wires are just in too layers in circle shapes.*
*From the beginning, our AC is not colling our room that much.We called a mechanic to repair it. He just cleaned it, but didn't go to the outdoor part.*
*So, can you please tell me that, "can this disorganized long wire could decrease the cooling of our room??"*
Did you fix it or is it the same
@@charritolopez8223 Now, our AC is working fine. & thank you so much!
@@ssmtech5758 what you did?
What if the unit outside is not blowing hot air?
My hvac unit is running and outside when I put my hand above the hvac unit it's not warm air. It's cool air. There's not very cool air blowing in the house though. What could this be?
Hi thanks for the question! We answered it in this week's video: th-cam.com/video/znsvU3mwc98/w-d-xo.html. Yours is the first question we answer.
My cool thingy outside isn’t spinning do I have to call someone to fix it???
fan is not spinning. What is the reason?
YASSSSSS!!! It was the inside filter
Can someone help!!!
Portable a/c wont let me set temp lower than 24c temp inside my room is 25 so it wont cold at all.
Me too idk how to fix it rip
You forgot the contactor
Clogging drain
Freon
Bad thermostat
Interesting
My ac is new we just move to the new house but still doesn’t work like not cooking at all
What happened they just installed new AC, filter & others, still not enough cooling? Any advice?
Check the ducts
Good
I just have 1 question, is AC can run out of freon?
Freon no out run AC
@@TrentG23 hello Amir, do you mean cannot run out of freon? Cause I just clean my AC and it was not cool enough. Maybe, it's running out of freon?
jingle bell it won't run out of freon unless you have a leak
Hello am having a problem with my split AC it runs very cool when I turn it on at night but in the day time is not running that cool any help please
If the sun is strong where you live, this can happen.
@@YazS5 ok thanks
Hi we just answered your question in this week's video: th-cam.com/video/a42_CkmTxos/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for the question, sorry for the late reply, I feel like I can give a better answer in the video format. Hope it helps!
i can't sleep when my body is literally generating free water
Air filter was replaced (cause it was filthy), nothing around the ac, I can see the coils are new and clean.
This really helped thank you!
Good! We’re so happy this helped you!
Shut up weeb
@@JoJo_727 🧐
My air handler is in my attic. I do not see a filter anywhere on or in my air handler.
And now, it is not cooling again. How should I do sir?
mine turns on but ac is not blowing strong enough
Tami To Eric air conditioner guy. And he told me to go out there and look at the look at the bottom of the unit tammy and see if there's any leaves in the unit, and if there is believes, is stopped clogged up around the unit, and you have to take the panel off of the unit to blow the leaves out
Our contractors tech was supposed to have checked the filters. He didn’t. They were filthy
My Window Panasonic Window Airconditioner stopped sending cold air. I could not figure it out at first. It's a really hot summer & family could not sleep well. I called a repair man whom I understood, to be honest. It turned out that only by replacing Capacitor 35UF which cost less than USD10 he charged me USD150 for half an hour job. Changing Capacitors should not be so costly. Please check the Capacitor first.

Omggggggggg...its hoooooooooot......hurry up Monday...😭
If you have a zoned AC system, make sure you aren’t cooling all zones at once. Time them differently and you should notice a huge difference and improved efficiency.
If you need to do this then you clearly have a problem. Proper ducted systems can cool all rooms without issues.
E2 erracode
Changed the filter and also checked the outside and its still not blowing cold air.
Bad luck my boi bad luck
@@Athny_ any tips ?
@@OutOfTheBoxThinker1 still no tips maybe you can
Fix it your self and of course failed.

Tawnna Me, there's leaves in our air conditioner. And he told me they told me to take the side panel and clean the leaves out of the unit to wanna. There's leaves in our unit. Because I was out there yesterday and there's leaves all around

Stop being weird.
I think renters should get get a discount on rent when this is a consistent problem.
The capacitor is the most common culprit.
Our landlord have let us in this heat for over a week now it's so hot
Tawnna L there One of the air conditioner, guys. And he told me He was talking about the unit being closed. Clogging up Depload through the house towana
🔥🔥🔥🔥 🥵
Dont buy and LG ac idk wtf is goin on with their compressors but i got two in 30 days and both of them have the same issue smh
GOD LOVES YOU LET’S REPENT PLEASE 🙏🏾
I know it takes time to cool down and an hour later its still blowing 73 degrees... don't get me wrong 73 degrees is still nice and cool.. but I want it to go towards 64 degrees which is its limit..( its a maytag stand ing AC.
he did not answer allthe question properly
it could be gas or compressor problem sir..calling" people to repair unless it is direct from the factory where you purchase the unit,will not solve the problem,you may as well discard the unit!
Tami And I air conditioner and they told me what I'm going to want to want to do to go to home, go to Lowe's and get a spray and spray your Kohl's out and. It's got leaves in it, you have to take the top off of it and clean it out, we'll see you ours just got off ours just got full of leaves out there in it, that's why it's not cool in titanic I google that tammy
Well that was no help
The air conditioning is not cooling
One hour ac 😂
There are a million videos on how to fix your air conditioner….how about not checking your air filter just put a brand spanking new filter….I did that….how about not bothering to check your capacitor put a new one instead….I did that….how about washing the outside unit with a hose….I did that ….how about cleaning the tubing that Carries the condensed water from the inside unit…I did that…how about making sure the compresor works ….I did that….how about making sure the blower that is on top of the compressor is working….I did that…i did all these things and more….and everything seems to be working and yet I don’t get cold air…the only thing I don’t know how to check is inside the area where the plenum is….so now the only thing I can do is call a technician…my only problem is I don’t want the tech guy telling me that I need a capacitor or that I need a filter….I did all that already…

USELESS VIDEO! THE GUY TALKS ABOUT OBVIOUS THINGS!
question ? this year I start my AC but I forgot to unwrapped the cover that we used for the winter , the AC was working for half an hour , since than my AC doesn't give any cold air , I think we damaged the unit what is your opinion please ?
Buy a new one😂
Have a tech look at it first. Hopefully is only something minor.
