Why is my AC running but not cooling?

If your AC is running but not cooling, it usually points to a mechanical or airflow issue. Common causes include a dirty air filter, low refrigerant levels, or a malfunctioning thermostat. Sometimes the system may have power, but the compressor, evaporator coil, or condenser coil isn’t working properly. Clogged air ducts, frozen coils, or blocked outdoor units can also prevent your air conditioning system from delivering cold air. These issues reduce system efficiency and strain the unit, often leading to higher utility bills or breakdowns if left unaddressed.
