Warning Signs:

- Reduced Cooling Performance: If your AC isn’t cooling as effectively as before, it might need a refrigerant recharge or filter replacement.
- Higher Energy Bills: A sudden spike in energy costs could indicate an inefficient system struggling to perform.
- Frequent Cycling: If your AC frequently turns on and off, it might have a thermostat issue or improper sizing.
- Unpleasant Odors: Musty or burning smells could mean mold growth or electrical problems.
Call to Action:
Schedule a professional inspection at the first sign of trouble to prevent bigger issues down the road.
