Signs of a Refrigerant Leak
Refrigerant is what makes an AC cool. A leak reduces cooling and can damage the compressor. Handling refrigerant requires professional service.
Common Signs
- Warm air from the vents.
- The system runs longer without cooling well.
- Ice on the indoor coil or refrigerant lines.
- A hissing or bubbling sound near the indoor unit.
- Higher electric bills.
Why It Needs a Pro
Refrigerant is not consumed by the system. If the level is low, there is a leak that must be found and repaired, not just refilled. See refrigerant leak repair and AC repair.
