How do I fix an air conditioner that is not cooling?

If you reset your thermostat and your air conditioner is still not working, you should replace your air conditioner’s air filter .

Can a dirty air filter cause my air conditioner not to cool?

Yes, a dirty air filter can cause your air conditioner not to cool effectively especially here in the Coachella Valley.

In some cases, it may even freeze up, causing it to stop working altogether.
