5 signs your AC is about to break down - and what to do about it.
When it’s 100° in Lubbock, a broken AC isn’t just inconvenient — it’s dangerous. Spot these warning signs early so you can fix the issue before it turns into a complete failure.
1. Weak Airflow
If the air barely comes out of your vents, your system could have a clogged filter, frozen coil, or failing blower motor. Ignoring it only makes things worse — and more expensive.
2. Strange Noises
Grinding, rattling, or buzzing aren’t just annoying — they’re red flags. These sounds could mean loose parts, a dying motor, or compressor issues.
3. Water Leaks
You should never see puddles around your indoor unit. Water could mean a clogged drain line, frozen coil, or refrigerant problems.
4. Hot Spots in the House
If one room feels like a sauna while the rest is cool, your ductwork or zoning system might be failing.
5. Your Energy Bill Spiked
A sudden jump in your energy bill — without touching the thermostat — is a clear sign your AC is working harder than it should.
