However, if your AC is not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/maintaining-your-air-conditioner\">well-maintained<\/a> or it has some underlying issues, it is at the risk of overheating. When your AC overheats, it can stop working and trip the circuit breaker. To prevent this from happening, it\u2019s important to know the reasons why your AC might be overheating so you can troubleshoot the problem as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Your Air Filter is Clogged<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your air filter is one of the most important components of your air conditioning system. A clogged air filter can lead to bad indoor air quality, an increase in your energy bill and of course, your AC overheating. If your air filter has not been changed over time (it should be changed once a season) all the dirt, dust or dander build-up can block any airflow throughout your system and your home. This will force your system to run for longer and wear it out easily. If you notice your AC overheating, make sure your air filter is clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Low Refrigerant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your AC is a closed-loop system, meaning refrigerant shouldn\u2019t escape from it. However, if you notice a refrigerant leak (reach behind your outdoor condenser and feel the refrigerant lines\u2014if they are cold that means they\u2019re working properly), you might want to contact an HVAC technician. Low refrigerant levels can cause warm air to blow through your vents, take a longer time to cool as well as cause overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Dirty Condenser Coils<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The condenser coil is located in your outdoor condenser unit. It is in charge of condensing the vaporized refrigerant back to liquid and transfers heat away from the unit. However, if your condenser coil is covered in dirt or dust, it won\u2019t be able to do its job efficiently. If it is unable to transfer heat quickly, your air conditioner will overheat and malfunction. To fix this issue, you can either use coil cleaner or you can call an HVAC technician to perform professional maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Lack of Professional Maintenance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t kept an eye on your air conditioner or haven\u2019t called an HVAC technician to perform professional maintenance, it is highly likely that your system will deal with various issues. Take some time to research some reputable HVAC technicians in your area so you can choose a company that works best for you and your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still haven\u2019t figured out reasons why your AC might be overheating?
