Signs Your HVAC Compressor is Failing

If you notice your air conditioner isn’t keeping your home cool, or that your utility bills are higher than normal, it could be a sign that your air compressor is failing.

Reduced Cooling – Your air conditioner may not be able to cool your home properly, or it may struggle to maintain a consistent temperature.
High Energy Bills – When the compressor is failing, your HVAC system has to work harder, so you may notice higher utility bills.
Strange Noises – You may notice grinding, squealing or clanking sounds coming from the outdoor unit.
Breaker Tripping – If the air compressor is overheating, it can cause the circuit breaker to trip frequently.
