Can Your AC Unit Switch Between Cold and Hot Airflow

No, air conditioners only blow cold air. There is no way for it to switch between hot and cold air.

Cold air is dryer and better for your skin and respiratory system than hot air.  Hot air can cause breathing problems like asthma or make people feel stuffy. Hot weather also causes heat index which makes it harder for your body to cool down, increasing the risk of heat-related injuries such as heat exhaustion or stroke. If you currently have an AC unit that blows out hot air, consider getting a new one so you don't have to worry about the summer anymore.

Why You Might Want To Switch Your AC To Blow Hot Air

Before we dive into this topic, it's also helpful to know exactly how an air conditioner works. There are a variety of reasons someone might want their AC unit to blow out hot air. The first and most common reason would be because it blows cold air and you feel too chilly throughout the day. This is probably due to an old or inefficient AC unit that doesn't work as well as it should. If your appliance isn't working as well as it should be, consider getting a new one so you don't have to worry about how cold you feel anymore.

How To Make Your Air Conditioner Blow Colder Air

If you don't want to buy a new AC unit just yet because it's still working, consider getting an air filter. It might make your AC blow colder air without having to purchase a new appliance. If you have other issues with your AC unit such as it not doing anything at all or if the fan is too loud, consider looking up local services near you that can take care of whatever the problem may be.

How To Control The Airflow of Your Air Conditioner

The thermostat of the AC has three settings for cooling: Fan On, Cool, and Fan Auto. The fan mode is just to control which mode you want your air conditioner to be in. The cool setting will turn off the fan but it will still blow out cold air if there's any left. The cooling setting can also be turned down or turned off during nighttime. And lastly, the fan auto setting will change between blowing out cold air or hot depending on what it senses outside. It might take a little bit longer than usual for it to "sense" something but once it does, expect colder air coming from your AC unit after about an hour or so.
