What causes air conditioner to stop blowing air fast?

by jstroud on April 22, 2010

My air conditioner used to blow air fast, now it is very low. I can barely feel the air coming out of the vent. A few weeks ago the air froze and we had freon put it in, but it still blows air very slowly and it stays warm and humid in the house. The vents feel cold to touch, but its not cooling the house enough. Even the room closest to the unit isn’t very cool. Living in the deep south it is very hot and very humid. Please help!

There is an airflow restriction in your system. Some causes are blocked air inlet for the return air, too high a density filter, slow blower speed or incorrect rotation, dirty indoor coil, dirty filter, loose insulation in the ducts or near the blower.
Also, a low charge of refrigerant, the metering device is restricted, the filter/drier is restricted.
Also, could be a weak blower motor capacitor, or motor bearings are seizing.

Wash the filter?

It froze up, open the part where the filter is and see if theres mad frost, if so turn off and let it melt.

Sounds like the same problem still exists.
It’s freezing up again.Have them come back out and correct it this time or call someone else.

Does the unit have a condensation collector bucket ? Some units have them, and when the bucket gets full the unit will automatically shut down. In high humidity conditions the bucket may need to be emptied two or three times per day.

Sound Like Your Unit needs to overhaul cleaning… When air blowing too slow your house can,t get cool enough..evendo the coil cool. Your condenser coil really dirty and need to bring down to do overhaul cleaning.
