I live in warner robins GA and it gets very hot. I cant get my house cooler than 75 Degrees in the afternoon even if the thermostat is set a 65 degrees. What could the problem be? Is my air conditioner too small? Do I need freeon (the house is only 3 years old and it still blows cold air). Do i need a better thermostat? Any help would be great.

    My friend says they are both the same, as a fan circulates the air fast therefore the air particles cool down and become cold and give you cold air. And the air conditioner pratically does the same thing. Is this right?

      Our compressor is outside and our condenser is in the basement. The condensation water has a pump attached to it that pumps the water to the outside where it drains.

      There is an additional pipe coming off of the pump that has cold air blowing out of it when the air conditioner is on. I’m guessing that it is an emergency overflow valve, but is it normal for cold air to be streaming out of this? It seems like we are losing a lot of nice cold air into our basement!

        I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee. The air conditioner seems to have a problem with it. It will be working fine, then it will stop blowing cold air and start blowing humid air with a musty kind of smell. I’ve heard this could be the compressor? Is this the likely cause? If so, what is a rough estimate on how much this will cost to be fixed? I’m mainly concerned on how much it will cost to fix.

          I have a ’92 Pontiac Grand Am that blows cold air,but only when I’m on the interstate or a long road with no stops.

          Sometimes while driving in the city,the air turns warm.I have a new radiator,heater core,but I think the original thermastat is in place.

          Any suggestions as to the problem?

              My home wall air conditioner has been running great all summer. But today I noticed it was popping/crackling. It still blows cold air but it randomly makes those popping noises. Any idea what it is?
              If it’s an electrical short wouldn’t it be sparking or smelling bad? It’s not doing either.

              Whats the best way to winterize a window air conditioner?
              Also what is the purpose of winterizing? Is it to keep cold air out? Or does it protect the air conditioner itself?
              Thanks for the info.

              I’d like a small, lightweight, cheap, and quiet air conditioner that blows cold air out of a hose. It just has to be enough to keep my sleeping bag cool.
              I have access to 120V AC. I just don’t have a lot of room.

              I turn on the air conditioner and only hot to room temperature air comes out for 5-10 minutes. Eventually, 9 times out of 10 cold air will eventually come out. Don’t know much about cars, I got a toyota because they are supposed to be (mostly) maintenance free. Thanks!

              A few weeks ago I noticed water condensing around the vents in my car when running the AC. And now the air conditioner will not blow cold air. The power of the air flow has not changed and the heat works fine. Any ideas? Does it just need Freon or is there maybe a bigger problem? Thanks so much!

              I noticed that my central air conditioner in my house was blowing air but not blowing cold air. I went outside and noticed that my outdoor air conditioner condenser fan was running fine but the compressor wasn’t making any noise. Any suggestions?
              I looked at the fuse box and there are two fuses…is one for the compressor and one for the fan on the condenser…cause like I said, the fan on the condenser does turn on.

              I don’t understand why my home heating unit blow out heat then ice cold air. When I have the thermostst set to a degree and heat. Please help me with answers
              My home was built in 2004 so it’s fairly new that’s why I didn’t expect this to be happening.

              I have a 2007 Chevrolet HHR and recently noticed that after the air conditioner has been running for a while it will alternate between ice cold air to very warm air. Could the freon be running low?

              The air conditioner in my home seems to be blowing cold air, it feels cold anyway. But our thermometer doesn’t get below 80 or higher. I checked the filter and replaced it but that does not do anything. Can anyone clue me in on anything?
