AC Not Cooling
Top 5 Reasons Your AC Isn’t Keeping Up With the Heat in Milan
If you’re in Milan, TN and your air conditioner is working harder than a mom during summer break, it’s time to figure out why it’s not keeping up. Because when it’s 95° outside and you’re still sweating on the couch, something’s off. Here are the top 5 reasons your AC might be falling behind:
1. Dirty Air Filters (aka the Silent Saboteurs)
Clogged filters restrict airflow, making your system work overtime—and nobody likes unpaid overtime. Swapping them out regularly is one of the easiest (and cheapest) ways to improve performance.
2. Your System Is Undersized
If your AC unit wasn’t sized properly for your home, it’s probably gasping for help every time the sun comes out. Bigger isn’t always better, but right-sized is a must.
3. Low Refrigerant Levels
Refrigerant is what actually cools the air. If it's leaking or running low, your unit’s basically trying to make sweet tea with no sugar. It just won’t work.
4. Ductwork Drama
Leaky ducts or poor insulation can let that cool air escape before it even hits your living room. You’re paying to cool your attic—how generous of you.
5. Old or Poorly Maintained Equipment
AC units don’t live forever. If yours is over 10 years old or hasn’t had a tune-up in a while, it might be due for some serious TLC—or replacement.
