Why Is My AC Blowing Warm Air?
Intro
If your AC is blowing warm air, your system is running but not cooling. This is a common problem in Tennessee homes during summer.
What This Problem Means
Warm air means heat is not being removed from your home. The AC may still run, but cooling is not happening.
Homeowners may call this:

When to Call a Professional
If warm air continues, a professional should inspect the system. Refrigerant handling requires special licenses in Tennessee.
