Why Won't My House Cool Down

The air conditioner is running, cool air is coming from the vents, and the house still will not reach a comfortable temperature, a problem that does not look like a failure, which is exactly why it is so confusing. This book explains why a running system can still lose, starting with one idea that makes everything else click: an air conditioner moves heat, and a separate set of parts moves air. From there it walks you through a ten-minute check anyone can do with a flashlight and a cheap thermometer, covers uneven rooms, frozen coils, sizing mismatches and attic heat gain, and sorts what you find into watch-it, call-this-week or call-right-now, then teaches you to read an HVAC quote like you have done this before.
