Why does heat come out when AC is on?

Your AC actually cools your home’s air by removing heat from the air inside and dumping that heat outside. When your AC system is low on refrigerant, your AC isn’t able to transfer as much heat out of your home—especially on hot days. This means the air coming from your AC vents will be warmer than usual.

Why is my house hotter than outside?

When your room is hotter than the outside, it’s possible that the room has poor ventilation. Proper ventilation allows hot air to exit while cool and fresh air enters the room. South-facing rooms also heat up from more sunlight, while upstairs rooms will experience the Stack Effect as heat rises through the building.
