Make sure your air filter is clean. A dirty air filter can block air flow. If both the fan and the compressor are coming on, there may be a low charge. If only the fan is coming on, the compressor could be burned up.

How do you run your AIR CONDITIONER the right way in your home?

If it's a central A/C system, the best advice would be to find a comfortable temperature, set it and forget it. Also turn the fan switch on your thermostat to "Fan-On". The constant air circulation helps to even out temperatures inside, even if the outdoor unit isn't running.

Why is my house air conditioner running but no air is coming out of vents?

Check your furnace fan. The air conditioner unit can be running but the air circulation is usually done with the fan on the furnace. If you have a fan switch on the thermostat, check to see if it is in the auto position. If it has the settings on/auto/off, you can switch it to the on position and see if you get any air movement then. If not, you could have a broken belt.


Is it better to leave your air conditioning running all the time - or to switch it on and off as necessary?

Your air conditioner should have a built in thermostat and cycle as necessary. The air conditioner takes a little while to reach peak efficiency. Once the room is cooled it will cycle on and off as necessary. If you manually cycle the air conditioner, you are greatly reducing its efficiency.
