How can I tell if my air conditioner is over charged?
Watch out: an air conditioner or heat pump system that has been over-charged with refrigerant can also show up the problem as short cycling, rapid on-off cycling of the compressor motor.
Why do I hear a hiss in my air conditioner?
The air inside the cabin flows through the evaporator, which then cools the air. If the A/C were leaking bad enough for you to hear a hiss, you wouldn’t even be getting any cool air out of the system (before or after). The only way there could be an issue is if you overcharged the system and blew out a seal.

Well, overcharged AC simply means that you have put excess Freon in the lines of the AC system. Most people are tempted to put much Freon to the AC, thinking that it would make the AC extra cold. Unfortunately, overcharging your AC can make it warm or function abnormally. In short, when an AC is overcharged, it starts blowing cold air.
Why does my AC make a loud noise when I start it up?
Outdoor fan motors and indoor blower motors squeal loudly when they’re going bad. The blower wheel and housing will also squeal when they malfunction. For some units, this sound is normal upon start-up. You should be able to identify whether it’s a sound that the unit always makes or if it’s something new.
