A/C Keeps Running but Does Not Lower the Temperature

On very hot days a system may run continuously. Airflow restrictions and thermostat settings are worth checking first.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    On very hot days, expect the system to run longer to keep up.

  2. 2

    Make sure all vents are open and not blocked by furniture or rugs.

  3. 3

    Replace a dirty filter, the most common airflow restriction.

  4. 4

    Keep blinds closed on sun-facing windows to reduce the heat load.

  5. 5

    If the temperature never reaches the setting after these checks, submit a request.
