Why is my AC blowing but not cold air?

Leaking or Low Refrigerant If your central AC is not blowing cold air, the refrigerant may be the problem. The unit could be running low and need additional refrigerant added. The most likely cause of this is a leak. If you suspect a refrigerant leak, you should contact an HVAC professional right away.
