Why Is My House AC Not Cooling?

Phoenix, Arizona, is well known for having extremely high temperatures. It can get very heated, especially in the summer, and having a working air conditioner is imperative. If the house AC is not cooling, it can get a little too hot. There are many reasons why an air conditioner is not keeping the house as cool as it should, or worse, not at all.
