AC Not Cooling? Olivehurst Diagnosis That Finds the Real Cause
The thermostat says 74 and the house says 85. Warm air from the vents has a cause, and it is usually one of a few. We check airflow, refrigerant, and electrical parts in order, so you know exactly what went wrong and what it takes to fix it.
A system that runs but will not cool is frustrating because it looks like it is working. The fan blows, the outdoor unit makes noise, and the house keeps getting warmer.
Quick checks before you call
- Make sure the thermostat is set to Cool and the fan to Auto
- Replace the air filter if it looks gray or clogged
- Check that the breakers for the indoor and outdoor units are on
- Look at the outdoor unit: the large fan on top should be spinning
When it is time to call
If those check out and the air is still warm, the problem is likely refrigerant, a capacitor, or the compressor itself. Call (530) 805-5200 and we will find it.

AC Not Cooling Questions
Can low refrigerant just be topped off?
Refrigerant does not get used up. If it is low, there is a leak. Topping it off without finding the leak means paying for the same problem again later.
