Luxaire Central air conditioner has poor temperature control

If your Luxaire central air conditioner has poor temperature control, the most likely cause is a clogged air filter restricting airflow through the furnace or air handler. Replace the filter at least twice a year, or more often in dusty homes or homes with pets. A dirty filter can also cause the evaporator coil to frost over, reducing cooling and moisture removal. If your air conditioner has poor temperature control, check the wall thermostat next. Failed thermostat contacts can make the system cycle intermittently or prevent the furnace, air handler, or condensing unit from responding correctly. A failed wall thermostat can cause the same symptoms. Other possible causes include blocked or leaking vents that create uneven cooling in the house, or an oversized air conditioner that cools too quickly and shuts off before temperatures equalize. These issues can appear as an AC temperature that is not accurate, an AC not holding temperature, or noticeable AC temperature swings. Filter and vent checks are generally safe DIY tasks; thermostat testing involves low-voltage wiring, while line-voltage or sealed-system repairs require a qualified HVAC technician. Enter your Luxaire model number to find the exact replacement part for your central air conditioner.

01 - Luxaire Central Air Conditioner Air Filter

Check and replace the air filter at least twice a year, more often in dusty/dirty environments or if there is a pet in the home. A clogged air filter will greatly reduce the air flow of the furnace or air handler which can result in poor temperature control when trying to heat or cool the home.

02 - Luxaire Central Air Conditioner Wall Thermostat

The wall thermostat has electrical contacts that control the power supply to the furnace or air handler and condensing unit. If the contacts in the thermostat fail, certain components of the cooling system may not work or may only work intermittently. To determine if the thermostat is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the wall thermostat does not show proper continuity, replace it.

03 - Luxaire Central Air Conditioner Wifi Thermostat

The WiFi thermostat has electrical contacts that control the power supply to the furnace or air handler and condensing unit . If the contacts in the thermostat fail, certain components of the cooling system may not work or may only work intermittently. To determine if the thermostat is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the WiFi thermostat does not show proper continuity, replace it.
Common

04 - Clogged Air Filter

If the air filter is clogged, air cannot flow properly through the home's venting system. This greatly reduces the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. In addition, if the air filter is clogged, the evaporator coils will frost over and not be able to remove moisture from the air. The air filter should be checked and replaced at least twice a year, more often in dusty/dirty environments. Refer to owner's manual for guidance.

05 - Blocked or leaking vents

The furnace or air handler must have good airflow to work properly. A blocked or leaking vent can prevent good air flow and cause inconsistent room temperatures.

06 - Oversized air conditioner

An oversized furnace or air handler will quickly heat or cool the home and shut off. This causes acceptable temperatures in certain areas but not in others. The circulated air needs time to distribute evenly throughout the home; the air recirculating through the furnace or air handler for longer periods of time will produce better results.
