If you hear banging, clanking, or any other loud noises coming from your air conditioner, it\u2019s time to call the pros.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong class=\"strong\">You\u2019re Seeing Water Where It Doesn\u2019t Belong:<\/strong> Air conditioners are designed to remove moisture from the air. If water starts collecting near your AC unit, something is wrong and needs to be repaired.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong class=\"strong\">The Temperature in Your Home is Uncomfortable:<\/strong> If your AC is turned up and the temperature in your home is still uncomfortable, your unit may be struggling to keep up with the heat outside. In this situation, your air conditioner may need to be serviced.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong class=\"strong\">Your AC Air Pressure is Low:<\/strong> An AC unit with low air pressure will need to be fixed promptly. If replacing an old air filter doesn\u2019t resolve the air pressure, a professional will need to address the problem.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><h2 class=\"h2\"><b class=\"b\">When to Call for Service<\/b><\/h2><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re experiencing any of these signs, it\u2019s time to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rpoustinc.com\/contact\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">call the team at R.
