Watch for These Symptoms of a Hidden AC Leak
If your system isn’t cooling properly—or your bills are going up—it could be a refrigerant issue. Here are the most common signs:
- Warm or weak airflow from vents
- AC runs continuously without cooling
- Ice forming on refrigerant lines or evaporator coil
- Hissing or bubbling sounds from outdoor unit
- High electricity bills with no change in usage
- AC won’t reach or hold thermostat temperature
If you’re noticing these symptoms, schedule leak detection right away. Unrepaired leaks can lead to costly compressor damage and system failure.
