AC System Not Cooling: Why Doesn’t My AC System Keep My House Cold?

AC System Not Cooling

 

When your ac system is not cooling, you may ask, “Why doesn’t my AC system keep my house cold?” This is a very common question. “Why is my air conditioning not keeping my house cool enough?”

“At night it seems to do okay but in the daytime it just runs all day.”

 

When an AC system does not keep the house cold enough, one of two reasons are usually to blame. The first reason is that the system is possibly in need of repair. Something is actually broken or worn out in your AC unit and needs to be replaced. For this type of air conditioning repair, fixing the problem will also get your house to a cooler temperature.

 

The other possible reason for your AC system not cooling is that, as the home ages and the insulation disintegrates, the system just can’t keep pace like it used to. In other words, the insulation no longer holds in cold air the way it used to, small cracks in the home leak air, etc.

AC systems may stop cooling at peak efficiency as a home’s insulation wears down.

 

What to do Next When Your AC Unit is Not Cooling Efficiently

 

Some people won’t notice this happening because it usually is not an all at once deal. It begins to happen gradually. When you begin to notice that your system can no longer keep up, two of the things you can do include better insulating your home or having your AC unit replaced with a newer, higher capacity model.
