Why is my AC not circulating air properly?

Q:Why is my AC not circulating air properly?

A: Weak or no airflow usually points to a failing blower motor, a severely clogged air filter or evaporator coil, or leaky ductwork that's losing conditioned air before it reaches your rooms. Check your filter first — if it's gray and clogged, replace it immediately.

✦A clogged filter is the #1 cause of airflow problems and costs nothing to fix. Check yours monthly.

Q: How can I improve the air quality in my home?

A: Start with regular filter changes using MERV 8 or higher filters. Add a whole-home air purifier to capture bacteria and mold spores that filters miss. Have your ducts inspected every 3–5 years. For allergy sufferers in Georgia, a UV air purifier installed in your HVAC system is a game-changer.

✦Atlanta's pollen count is among the highest in the US. A high-quality filter combined with a UV purifier makes a huge difference for allergy sufferers.

My home feels very humid even with the AC running, why?

Q: My home feels very humid even with the AC running, why?

A: Your AC dehumidifies as it cools. If humidity is high, the evaporator coil may not be getting cold enough due to low refrigerant, airflow restriction, or a dirty coil. In Georgia's climate, uncontrolled humidity also leads to mold growth. Have a technician inspect the system right away.

✦Georgia summers average 70–80% outdoor humidity. A properly working AC should keep indoor humidity between 40–50%.
