What Should I Do If My AC Is Running But Not Cooling?

If your AC runs but isn’t cooling, try a few simple checks before scheduling service. Bob Garrett Services troubleshoots and repairs HVAC systems for homeowners in Roanoke, Salem, and nearby areas.

Quick checks:

  • Set thermostat to Cool and a few degrees lower.
  • Replace the air filter.
  • Clear debris around the outdoor unit.
  • Check the breaker and indoor power switch.
  • Open supply/return vents.
  • If you see ice on lines, turn AC off to thaw, then try Cool again.
  • If still warm, book a diagnostic visit.
