Summertime should be a time of relaxation,
rest, and maybe vacationing, but definitely not a time or worry and expense
because you suddenly discover your air conditioner not cooling as it should be.
A well qualified heating and air conditioning technician can be invaluable
during the summer months if this occurs. However if the problem is serious
enough your bank account could suffer. Many times though the problem can be
solved with a quick check of your system if you know what to look for. Below
are some simple things to look for that may save you money whether or not you
decide to use the services of a service technician.

- * Dirty coils - The
coils on your inside unit are a magnet to dust and dirt. Even if you are
diligent in replacing your air filters every 3 months as you should, it is
inevitable that eventually your coil system will need cleaning. Make sure you
turn the power off to the main unit before inspecting the coils. Use a cleaner
recommended by a local service store for best results (a quick call should do
the trick). Be forewarned though as this is a dirty job, so be prepared with
gloves, a shop vac, and an ample supply of disposable towels.
* Poor insulation - If you live in a particularly hot climate
you may notice some of your rooms are not as cool as others. The thermostat may
read properly but poor insulation will not allow the air to cool sufficiently.
Check all door seals and attic spaces for improper insulation. Sometimes the
problem can be solved by installing a few extra rolls in the attic space above.
Upstairs rooms are typically more difficult to cool and may require additional
insulation material.

- * Crimped or blocked air ducts- If only
one or two rooms suffer from inadequate cooling, check the air ducts supplied
to those rooms. Occasionally they can become blocked with dirt, or
cotton/fiberglass material and block the flow of air. This may require
detaching the duct from the source and blowing air into it. Such as from a
squirrel cage fan or a shop vac to see if there is adequate air flow. Other
times the blockage may be a crimped duct. Check all air pathways for damage
such as holes or crimps.
* Bad terminal - If you cannot hear the compressor come
on from the outside unit, but the inside unit is blowing air (but not cool
air), check the terminal at the box. Sometimes just replacing this can solve
the problem immediately. If not, then you may have a compressor problem.If the
compressor is coming on and the inside unit seems to be working properly, you
may have insufficient freon. Freon leaks are rare, but they do happen in older
units. This requires hooking the unit to a freon gauge. Again, this is best
done by a licensed technician.
