• Thermostat problems can prevent AC systems from reaching the desired temperature and cycling correctly
• Refrigerant leaks can decrease the cooling capacity and put the unit at risk of overheating.
• Blower motor issues can cause strange noises, reduced airflow, and an overall system malfunction.
• Clogged drain lines can cause water to leak, potentially damaging the surrounding areas of the unit.
• Dirty coils can drastically reduce the system’s air flow and efficiency.
• Compressor problems can decrease the system’s ability to effectively cool the home.
