My A/C is blowing, but it isn't blowing cold air. I think I need to get it repaired.

There are plenty of factors that affect the efficiency of your home air conditioning system -- the size of the unit, placement, SEER rating etc. investing in a residential air conditioner is an expensive proposition, and so, it makes sense to put that money down on a newer more energy efficient unit that can save you money on energy bills. If you have an older residential AC, you will find that replacing it with a new AC can offer greater energy efficiency than merely conducting expensive repairs every couple of months.
While buying a house air conditioning system, always make sure you buy the right size of unit for your home. A home air conditioner that's too large will cool quickly, but switch off as soon as the room reaches it's desired temperature. After a few minutes, the unit switches back on again, and continues in this manner throughout the day, leading to energy wastage. When your home is cooled in a series of short cycles, the unit can't remove excessive moisture in the air. Humidity levels are affected, and the damp conditions create a perfect home for mold to grow. A residential air conditioner that's sized too small will not be able to cool efficiently. You may have to keep the unit switched on throughout the day, even on days when you don't need 24 hour cooling. Always look for the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating on the unit before you make a selection. You can expect to pay a higher price for a residential air conditioning system with a more energy efficient higher SEER rating, but you can make up the costs with the lower operating expenses within a few months.
