When the AC is running but blowing warm air, it is usually not a thermostat issue. In North NJ, this often shows up when systems are stressed during hot, humid weeks.

Common causes

  • Low refrigerant from a leak
  • Dirty condenser coils on the outdoor unit
  • Tripped breaker for the outdoor unit
  • Failed capacitor or contactor
  • Frozen evaporator coil

What you can check

  • Make sure the thermostat is set to Cool and lower than room temp
  • Check the outdoor unit for power and airflow
  • Replace the air filter

If the outdoor unit is not running or the air stays warm, call a pro.
