check the evaporator and see if it's clogged maybe that could lead to a lack of air flow from restriction not heating or cooling properly. Cause you say it runs but doesn't blow cold or hot air, make sure the furnace runs a full cycle watch it make sure it lights and runs for a full cycle. it would be hard to say since you say it doesn't do anything but blow room temp air.

The heater might not put out hot air if it is not getting enough oxygen to actually light the burner. There could be a problem with the ventilation for the heater or with the thermal coupler that tells the burner when to ignite.

Impossible to say without knowing what type of unit, ie. Natural Gas, oil, electric, heat pump, boiler etc, and even with knowing it would be a tough call from here as it could be a number of things.

Couple of reasons. First make sure the filters are not blocking the air flow. (Yes when they are too dirty they can actually do that.) Next may be that the blower is out. That you may want to contact an a/c company for. (those stop working because the motor windings go out or the contactors from the thermostat to the unit are old and unuseable or several other electrical reasons.)

An AC unit isn't supposed to heat! If you mean a heat pump, then you may have a relay switch problem. Or maybe, your thermostat is in the cooling mode. Contact a repairman.

In a central heating unit why does heating element keep coming on when the heater is not on?

Sounds like the thermostat is set too high so the unit is calling for heat... If the thermostat is set normally then the unit has a fault. Repairing an air conditioning unit is not a Do-It-Yourself job. The best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) technician to check the unit for you. If it is faulty it can then be decided if it is worth spending money to repair it or if it makes more sense to replace it with a new one.
