How to Recognize an Emergency AC Issue

Before a complete breakdown, AC systems often exhibit warning signs. Seek emergency service if you observe:

  • No cool air from vents, though the blower is running
  • Loud banging, screeching, or rattling noises from the condenser unit
  • Strong, unusual odors (electrical burning or musty mold scent) when the system operates
  • Visible refrigerant leaks (liquid dripping or ice formation on coils)
  • Complete system shutdown despite confirmed power to the thermostat
