If your AC unit blows warm air, check the thermostat to make sure that someone didn’t change the settings. If you set your thermostat correctly, your air conditioner might have a broken compressor or evaporator coil, a refrigerant leak, or faulty wiring.
Weak airflow is another sign that your cooling system has a blockage or an equipment malfunction. Sometimes, you just need to replace a clogged air filter. Other possible culprits include a broken motor, frozen evaporator coils, or air escaping through leaks in the ductwork.
Condensation forms when your air conditioner cools the air over the evaporator coils. Normally, your unit collects the condensation in a drain pan and transfers it outside with a condensate drain line. A cracked drain pan or clogged drain line causes water to back up into your house, leading to water damage and mold and mildew growth.
Older AC units use Freon to cool the air. Leaks are hard to detect, but warning signs include hissing sounds, frozen evaporator coils, excessive humidity, exhaust-like odors, and high energy bills. Freon exposure could lead to illnesses, so always call for professional assistance right away.
Most air conditioners produce a quiet whirring. If you hear banging, clattering, or rattling noises, your unit probably has loose components. Similarly, musty odors signify mold or mildew growth. Whatever the issue, we can diagnose and fix it quickly.
