Is there a problem with my AC system?
If so, there might not be any “problem” with your AC system. You see, every geographical area has what’s called a 1% summer “design temperature”. Your location will exceed this temperature only 1% of all the hours in a year (based on a 30 year average).
Why is my air conditioner not cooling my house below 80?
So if there are leaks along the ductwork that allow cold air to escape into the attic or basement, your home won’t get as much cool air as it needs to reach your set temperature. Air ducts with leaks allow conditioned air to escape into unconditioned areas (i.e. the attic).
How can I Keep my air conditioner cool in Sarasota?
If this is the case for you, we suggest pairing your AC with a fan (ceiling or oscillating) to keep you cool. Remember: Sarasota only hits these abnormally hot days around 1% of all the hours in a year so while they might be uncomfortable, those above-92-degree days are few and far between!
What should I do if my AC is cooling in 10 degree increments?
If your AC system previously cooled indoor air in 20 degree increments, it now may be cooling in 10 degree increments; the air conditioner works harder to condition the same amount of air. Have your preferred HVAC technician repair the leak, refill refrigerant and recalibrate.
How does an AC system work when the temperature is 80?
As an example, if the indoor air temperature is at 80 degrees, the AC system takes that supply of air and subtracts 15 to 20 degrees of heat before releasing it back into the home air supply.
If so, there might not be any “problem” with your AC system. You see, every geographical area has what’s called a 1% summer “design temperature”. Your location will exceed this temperature only 1% of all the hours in a year (based on a 30 year average).
Why is my a / C not keeping up with the heat?
If you’re only now noticing your A/C doesn’t keep up in the heat of the day, it may not be a new problem. Start observing which rooms are hottest, what time of day is it the worse, etc. Doing this will give you and your HVAC professional clues about what’s likely the problem, or problems plural.
