Leaks Around Your Unit
Leaks can be caused by your coil continuously freezing and thawing. In Indiana, PA, it would be a common problem with the cold winters.

Hot Air Coming Out
You don’t want to feel hot air coming out of your supply vents in the middle of summertime when you’re hoping for cold air. Check the thermostat to make sure you’ve it set to cool. If it is and you’re still only feeling warm air, it’s time to do some further inspection. Schedule an AC repair to avoid a small issue turning into a costly problem.
