    A/C blowing but not enough to cool

    Thought we had ac problems a few weeks ago. But the installer came out and said the cottonwoods on the side of the ac unit was restricting it from cooling thus preventing it from cooling the house. Hd rinsed it off and everything seemed ok. Now we're having a similar problem. When we turn on...
