PRODUCING EXCESSIVE NOISE
AIR FLOW WEAKENS
NO COOLING EFFECT
PROBLEM WITH THERMOSTAT
MOISTURE
STRONG ODOURS
1. PRODUCING EXCESSIVE NOISE The modern air conditioner units are designed and manufactured in a way that they should be running as efficiently and asquietly as possible. If the air conditioner system has started making more noise than it used to, then it is time to call in a service provider to do a check of the system.
