4 Things to Check Before Calling Air Assurance
If your AC is not cooling in Tulsa, don’t panic. Many cooling issues are caused by simple problems you can check yourself in just a few minutes.
Before scheduling AC repair, go through this quick checklist.
If your system still isn’t cooling, Air Assurance is ready to help with fast, professional service.
Quick Homeowner Checklist (Before You Call)
✅ 1. Check Your Air Filter
A clogged air filter restricts airflow and can cause your AC to stop cooling properly.
- Replace dirty or gray filters
- Make sure return vents are not blocked
- Confirm supply vents are open
Restricted airflow is one of the most common causes of AC not cooling.
✅ 2. Check the Thermostat
Sometimes the issue isn’t the AC unit — it’s the thermostat.
- Set thermostat to COOL
- Set temperature at least 5 degrees below room temperature
- Replace batteries if applicable
- Make sure the fan is set to AUTO
If the screen is blank or unresponsive, it may need new batteries or service.
✅ 3. Check the Outdoor Condenser Unit
Your outdoor AC unit must be clear to remove heat properly.
- Make sure it’s running
- Clear leaves, grass, and debris (2 feet of clearance)
- Gently rinse coils with a garden hose (power off first)
A restricted outdoor condenser can cause warm air inside your home.
✅ 4. Check Breakers and Safety Switches
If your AC is not working at all:
- Check your breaker panel
- Make sure the outdoor disconnect is on
- Look for water near your indoor unit (clogged drain line may trigger a safety shutoff)
If breakers keep tripping, call for professional service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
Common causes include restricted airflow, low refrigerant, a dirty condenser coil, thermostat issues, or electrical problems. A professional diagnosis can pinpoint the exact issue.
Why is my AC blowing warm air?
Your system may have a refrigerant issue, compressor problem, restricted condenser, or thermostat setting error. It can also be caused by frozen coils due to airflow restriction.
Can a dirty air filter cause AC not cooling?
Yes. A clogged filter restricts airflow, which can cause frozen coils and reduced cooling performance.
How much does AC repair cost in Tulsa?
AC repair costs vary depending on the issue. Minor repairs are typically less expensive than compressor or refrigerant-related problems. We provide clear pricing before performing repairs.
Is it better to repair or replace my AC?
If your system is 12–15+ years old and requires major repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective long term. Our technicians will help you compare repair vs replacement options.
