Warm Airflow

There’s nothing worse than being greeted with a blow of warm air when you turn on your AC during a hot and humid day. The silver lining is that this is one of the most common signs your AC system needs to be repaired. There could be several reasons behind the warm air, including a dirty or clogged air filter, low refrigerant (also known as Freon), or issues with the compressor. 

Unpleasant Noises and Smells 

If your vehicle’s A/C system is blowing out cold air, but you’re hearing weird noises or smelling unknown, unpleasant odours, a professional needs to examine your system. The unusual sounds could include rattling or squealing, while the foul odours might include a musty or moldy smell. A host of issues can lead to these problems, including a failing compressor, loose component, or leak.

Visible Refrigerant Leak

As previously mentioned, several issues can point to a refrigerant leak. Everything from warm air, weak airflow, and unusual sounds is on the list. But another important indicator is the presence of visible leaks. You might see a puddle of refrigerant under your car or even see it in the vehicle’s interior under your dashboard. If you see these signs alongside the other indicators mentioned on this list, it’s safe to assume your AC needs to be repaired.
