A system that runs but never actually cools usually means a refrigerant charge issue, a failing capacitor, or restricted airflow — not something a thermostat adjustment will fix. Ignoring warm air from the vents rarely makes the underlying issue cheaper to fix later.
This pattern shouldn't be ignored — some of the underlying causes carry genuine carbon monoxide risk. Our Monterey, CA techs see this specific pattern often enough to diagnose it quickly rather than guess.

A grinding or squealing sound usually points to a motor bearing wearing out; a banging sound during startup often means a loose or broken internal component. Ignoring strange noises: grinding, squealing, banging rarely makes the underlying issue cheaper to fix later.
