What causes an air conditioner to run continuously?
If your inside unit’s evaporator coil is dirty it makes it tough for refrigerant (or “Freon”) to absorb heat from your air. A dirty condenser can block the release of absorbed heat from the refrigerant. Basically, both issues will cause your system to run constantly since it’s struggling to remove heat from your home.
Why does my air conditioner never shut off?
If your system seems to never shut off, there may be an issue with your thermostat. It may be that your home has reached the correct temperature, but the thermostat is not registering the conditions in the home. If it is at or near your desired home temperature, there may be a problem with your thermostat.
What do I do if my air conditioner keeps running?
Cleaning the debris that builds up on your filters will aid with the flow of air. Clean or replace your filters once a month or as recommended by the manufacturer. Without enough air flowing over the coils, the system can’t remove humidity and cool the air to the set temperature, so it keeps running when it shouldn’t.

Why is my air conditioner not working in my car?
Get out of the car and look all around your front grill and bumper. Pieces of debris and mud can hinder airflow under the hood of the car, which will prevent your AC from working. If you see anything that could be restricting air flow, get it out of there and try the AC again.
