It’s 95° in West Wichita, you just walked in the door, and—boom—no cold air from your vents. If you’re asking:

Why isn’t my AC blowing cold air?
Why is my air conditioning running but not cooling?
Why is my AC not working at all?

Safety first: Turn power off before touching equipment. Don’t open electrical compartments, and don’t attempt refrigerant work—both require licensed pros.

🧰 DIY Checklist: Why Isn’t My AC Cooling?

Before we roll out a tech, run through this quick checklist. You might fix it yourself and stay cool for free:

✅ 1. Thermostat: Set to “Cool” and at least 5° below room temp.
✅ 2. Air Filter: If it looks like a lint trap—replace it. Monthly in summer is smart.
✅ 3. Breaker: Check the breaker panel for “AC” or “Furnace.” Flip Off/On if needed.
✅ 4. Frozen Coil: Ice present? Turn AC Off, fan On to thaw; don’t run it frozen.
✅ 5. Outdoor Unit: Fan spinning? If dead silent, call us.
✅ 6. Drain Line: Standing water near the furnace can mean a clogged drain/float switch.
