What’s Making My AC Heat My Home in Fortuna Foothills, AZ?

Your AC won’t actually heat your home in Fortuna Foothills, AZ. Rather, it will sometimes release warm air instead of cool air. There are a number of AC issues that can lead to a situation where your system is blowing warm air into your home, so read on to find out about some of them.

Low Refrigerant

Your AC needs refrigerant to be able to cool the air it blows into your home. Without it, only warm air will come out of the vents. Also, having low refrigerant means that your AC will have to work harder, which will lead to extra wear and tear on your system and higher energy bills.

Failed Compressor

The compressor is what circulates your AC system’s refrigerant, so when it fails, the refrigerant just sits there. The air doesn’t reach it, leaving the air warm when it exits the system into your home. Our professional technicians can find and fix the problem.

Failed Outdoor Fan

The fan in your outdoor AC unit is responsible for removing heat and keeping the coil cool. If the outside fan doesn’t work, then heat builds up inside the system. That can wind up overcoming the cooling power of the system, which may lead to warm air coming out of the vents.

Frozen Coil

Low airflow can reduce the pressure inside the entire system, which can result in the coil freezing. When the coil freezes, it is unable to release heat and will often cause the system to shut down or blow out warm air. Common issues that cause AC coils to freeze include a dirty air filter or evaporator coil.
