AC Not Cooling
Top 5 Reasons Your AC Isn’t Keeping Up With the Heat in Milan
If you have lived through a Tennessee summer, you know the heat and humidity can turn your home into a slow cooker if your HVAC system is not up to the task. A little maintenance now can prevent breakdowns when the heat is at its worst.
Here are our top HVAC maintenance tips to keep your cool—literally.
1. Change Your Air Filter (Yes, Again)
This is the #1 thing homeowners forget. A clogged filter chokes your system, reducing airflow and forcing it to work harder. You should be replacing it every 1–3 months, especially if you have pets or allergies.
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.
