Why does my AC not cool hot air?

The chemical Freon or simply you can call it coolant is the reason why the AC cools hot air quickly. The chemical can run out if there is any leakage in the AC. Thus, AC would not work, as there is no Freon in the system. You can handle this situation by using the best maintenance tips.

Why does my car air conditioner only expel hot air?

This is done using the airflow that comes through the front of your car as you drive. If the condenser is blocked by some type of debris from the road, then it will be unable to properly cool the refrigerant and your car’s system will continue to operate with overheated refrigerant. This will quickly cause the A/C unit to only expel hot air.

How can I get my car AC to blow cold air?
