Why Isn’t My Air Conditioning Working in Wichita, Goddard, or El Dorado?
It’s 95 degrees 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?
This is your no-BS guide to checking a few common issues before you call us at PD Plumbing Heating & Cooling, your hometown HVAC pros serving 67209, 67101, 67042, 67002, and Goddard.
🧰 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. Is the Thermostat Set to “Cool”?
Sounds silly, but it happens. Make sure it’s set to “Cool” and not “Fan” or “Heat.” Set the temp at least 5° below room temp.
✅ 2. Did You Check the Air Filter?
If your filter looks like a lint trap from a dryer—air can’t flow. Change it monthly during summer.
✅ 3. Breaker Tripped?
Check the breaker panel for a tripped switch labeled “AC” or “Furnace.” Flip it off and on again if needed.
✅ 4. Frozen Coil?
If you see ice on your lines or indoor coil, turn off the AC and set the fan to ON—this melts ice and might restore function.
✅ 5. Outdoor Unit Running?
Go outside. Is the fan spinning on the condenser? If it’s dead silent, it could be a capacitor or compressor—time to call us.
✅ 6. Drain Line Clogged?
High-efficiency AC units often shut down when the drain backs up. Look for standing water near your furnace or closet.
