Air Conditioner Running but Not Cooling Properly

Have you recently installed a new HVAC system that appears to be running smoothly but isn't keeping your home nice and cool? You're not alone, and we're here to help.

Many homeowners have experienced cooling troubles after replacing their old AC device with a brand-new one. But before you call Best Owner Direct HVAC, specialists for cooling repair, you need to understand what's stopping your system from cooling your home properly. This blog will give you more information about the most common reasons why your HVAC unit isn't cooling your home and how to fix them.

Incorrect Setup

The most usual reason why homeowners have trouble with their HVAC units is that they aren't installed properly. Hiring unlicensed, service providers, who don't have enough experience with installing HVAC units won't be able to set up the system appropriately. If you're buying or setting up a new unit, rather get a certified HVAC company to install it.


Old Ductwork

Another common mistake homeowners make when mounting their new AC systems is not hooking them up correctly to their existing ductwork. The old ductwork may be obstructed with particles, which can cause your new device to use up more power than it needs to.


Objects Obstructing HVAC

If your air conditioner is mounted outdoors, make sure that no trees or bushes are obstructing the airflow to the system. The very same applies to any indoor device; remove any furniture or objects that might be blocking the vents.

Dripping Or Wrong Cooling Agent

The cooling agent may not work with your home's HVAC devices or could be leaking due to a dripping shutoff or gasket. You need to look for leaks in your air conditioning device's cooling agent system. If you find any leaks, you need to repair them quickly to prevent harming your system further.


Inaccurately Sized Air Conditioning System

One more reason your HVAC system is not efficiently cooling your house might be because it's too small. It takes longer for your house to cool down when it's warm outside because there isn't enough air moving through it.


The Vent Is Obstructed

The final factor on our list is a blocked air vent. The airflow within your home is determined by how air enters and exits your house. Vents make this airflow possible. The vents allow air to enter your home, while the joiners direct that air to where you need it most.

    Been using them for years after the owner Kevin showed up so fast when our furnace went out one year. Been a fan since! Now, Danny is so great to work with, also. So friendly, knowledgable, fast. You guys are the best!

    Danny came out on a Saturday to diagnosis and fix my mom’s hvac unit.   He was able to quickly determine what the problem was and had all the parts to complete the repair right then.  His communication was clear and did a really good job helping us understand what caused the issue.  I would definitely recommend him and will be calling his company with any needs in the future. Thanks again!

    Fantastic customer service! I had a furnace issue, called late morning and they fit me in for diagnostic right away. Technician was extremely knowledgable, walked me thru everything he found - unfortunately needed a new furnace (was 24 years old anyways), got it scheduled and installed within 24 hours as everything was in the warehouse (probably got lucky on what we needed). Overall excellent customer service, from scheduling to diagnostic, to installation. Highly recommend.

    WOW! So impressed with so many aspects of this company. We had an animal die under the house in and could smell it coming out of the vents. When I called around, pest control was weeks out and Best Owner Direct was able to come the next day. Our technician, Danny was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Very professional, kind and made sure we had the problem taken care of the same day so we could breathe again! I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future for our HVAC needs.

    Daniel was excellent, attentive to detail and committed to completing all tasks other installers overlooked. He worked tirelessly into the evening making sure everything was working properly with a water heather install, and he had a great attitude all along.

    Excellent customer service, great communications answering all of our questions, left the site clean, and very respectful of our space within the house. Arranged to have someone come from the office later in the week to explain how the thermostat works.
