Have you already checked your air filter to see if it needs to be changed? A dirty filter that prevents enough air getting to the unit feels like it is blowing hot air.

Check the freon. You could have a leak.

Wais,
There could be a number of reasons for not giving you cold air. With the limited information you provided, it’s best to have the A/C checked out. Do you remember when the last time you had the unit checked up for the season?

Interesting -- you can confirm that the aux. heat is turning on? Apparently this is possible.

Only a heatpump/HPstat has an aux operation. If the charge was low, it wouldn't produce heat either and an undercharge certainly wouldn't over ride the stat driving the operation into heating mode.

The OP needs a qualified tech on site to get to the bottom of things. I'd guess the stat is miswired or misconfigured based on the limited 411.
