Why Is My AC Not Cooling or Working?

(And How Wichita & Andover Homeowners Can Fix It Before It Gets Worse)

If you live in College Hill (67208), Reflection Ridge (67205), or Crescent Lakes in Andover (67002) and your air conditioner isn’t cooling—you’re not alone. Summer heat slams Kansas hard, and high-performance homes demand high-performance systems.

At PD Plumbing Heating and Cooling, we get emergency AC repair calls from Wichita and Andover homeowners every week asking:

“Why is my AC blowing warm air?”
“Why did my AC just stop working altogether?”
“Is it the thermostat, the compressor, or something worse?”

Let’s break it down.

🔎 Top 7 Reasons Your AC Isn’t Cooling Properly in Wichita or Andover Homes

1. Clogged Air Filter

🛑 Symptom: Weak airflow, AC running nonstop
📍Common in homes near 13th & Rock (67206) or Flint Hills National (67002) where dust & landscaping debris pile up

Fix: Replace your air filter every 30–60 days, especially during peak summer usage.

2. Refrigerant Leak

🧯 Symptom: AC blowing air, but not cold
📍We find this often in older homes in Riverside (67203) and Terradyne Estates (67010)

Fix: Only licensed HVAC techs like ours can safely detect and refill refrigerant levels.

3. Frozen Evaporator Coil

❄️ Symptom: AC seems to be on but no cold air is coming out
📍Occurs in large square footage homes with oversized systems in Remington Place (67206) or Southern Ridge (67235)

Fix: Turn system off immediately. Call us to thaw coils and inspect drainage and airflow.

4. Faulty Thermostat

🧠 Symptom: Inconsistent cooling, short cycling
📍Frequently reported in smart-home conversions in Cornerstone (67002) and Bradford (67205)

Fix: We recalibrate or replace smart/wired thermostats during diagnostics.

5. Outdoor Unit Obstruction

🌳 Symptom: AC runs but struggles to cool
📍Happens in tree-dense areas like Sleepy Hollow (67208) or Montana Hills (67010)

Fix: Clear leaves, mulch, or debris. PD Plumbing can also pressure-clean the unit safely.

6. Compressor Failure

💥 Symptom: System turns on but doesn’t cool at all
📍High-end systems with aging compressors found in Quail Crossing (67002) and Lakepoint (67206)

Fix: Compressor replacement or full system upgrade may be required.

7. Electrical Issues or Tripped Breaker

⚡ Symptom: System completely non-responsive
📍Seen often in homes with upgraded basements in Westlink (67209) or Fox Ridge (67205)

Fix: PD Plumbing performs a full HVAC electrical diagnostic to isolate the issue.
