Common problem
Air Conditioner Not Cooling in Pooraka
When an air conditioner runs but the air coming out is not cold, the house heats up fast and the power bill climbs while the unit struggles. Pooraka homes call us for this fault more than any other, and Pooraka Air Conditioning fixes it on most visits in a single trip.
Why Your Aircon Stops Cooling
A unit that hums along but never drops the temperature is usually one of a handful of faults. Some cost little to fix. Others tell you the system is on its way out, which matters in a suburb where plenty of homes still run units installed decades ago.
Filters and airflow
Low refrigerant
Compressor wear
Controller and sensor faults
Safe Checks Before You Call
Two things are safe to try, and they fix a fair share of calls. Anything past this list needs a technician, because refrigerant and electrical work is not DIY territory.
- Clean or replace the return air filter, then run the unit for twenty minutes
- Check the outdoor unit is clear of leaves, weeds and stored junk
- Confirm the controller is set to cool, not fan or heat
- Look for ice on the indoor unit or pipework, which means switch it off and call
Do not wait on this
When a Cooling Problem Needs a Licensed Technician
If the filter is clean, the outdoor unit is clear and the air is still warm, the fault sits inside the refrigerant circuit, the compressor or the controls. Those parts sit under legal restrictions and warranty conditions, and guessing at them usually makes the repair dearer.
A system icing up, tripping the switchboard or blowing warm air on a 40-degree day is a same-day call. Our air conditioning repairs team carries the gear to test pressures, locate leaks and diagnose properly on the spot.

Questions
Not Cooling Questions, Answered
Why is my air conditioner running but not cooling?
Most often a clogged filter, low refrigerant from a leak, or a compressor that has worn out, and each needs a different fix, so we diagnose on site before quoting anything.
Can I fix a cooling problem myself?
You can safely clean or replace a filter and check the outdoor unit is clear, but refrigerant, electrical and compressor faults are licensed work under ARC licence L162586.
How fast can you get here in Pooraka?
We offer Within-the-Hour Response for urgent faults where availability allows, and 24/7 emergency availability, so a dead unit on a heatwave day does not wait until next week.
Is an older unit worth repairing or should I replace it?
We tell you plainly after testing, because a simple fault on a sound unit is worth fixing, while a worn compressor on a system past its service life usually is not.
