Check the air filter and replace it if it is visibly dirty

FAQ

AC Not Cooling Questions

What should I do if my AC is not cooling in Lafayette, LA?

Start with the basics — thermostat setting, air filter, and a visual check of the outdoor unit. If the system still is not cooling, or you notice ice, water, or electrical symptoms, call NILOV for a diagnosis.

Can this be a ductwork or airflow issue instead of the AC unit itself?

Yes. Many comfort complaints are caused by airflow, ductwork, insulation, humidity, or system setup rather than a failed AC unit.

Will NILOV push replacement even if a repair would work?

No. NILOV's approach is honest repair recommendations and repair-before-replacement when a repair is practical.
