3 Signs Your A/C Needs to be Repaired

Weird Noises and Smells

One indicator of an A/C unit needing repair is if you hear rattling, squealing, or grinding noises. This can be a sign of a failing compressor, a clogged unit, or a host of other issues. Foul smells are also common indicators of an A/C system needing repair. If you smell something musty or moldy, it could be a sign of mold. If you smell something burning, it may be an electrical issue. 

Inconsistent Cooling

When you turn the air conditioning on, you expect to be hit with a blast of cold air that keeps your vehicle cool for its duration. But if the air starts cool and gets warm, it could be a sign of a refrigerant leak. This issue can also cause the A/C system to blow warm air. 

Leaks or Moisture 

If you notice a visible leak like a puddle of water underneath your vehicle after using the air conditioning, you should get your A/C system checked out by a professional. You should also seek assistance if you notice moisture on your vehicle’s dashboard or floor mats. These issues could be caused by a clogged line or a system leak.
