Regularly clean or replace air filters, inspect and clean the outdoor unit to ensure it is free of debris, and schedule annual professional maintenance checks.
Unusual noises may be due to loose components, debris in the outdoor unit, or issues with the fan or compressor. Inspect the unit for visible issues and tighten any loose parts. If the noise persists, contact a professional technician.
Ensure that doors and windows are sealed properly to prevent air leaks. Use programmable thermostats to adjust temperatures when not at home. Regularly maintain the unit and keep the filters clean.
Check if the condensate drain line is clogged or blocked, causing water to back up. Clear the blockage using appropriate cleaning tools. If the problem persists, seek professional assistance.

This could be due to short cycling, which may result from a dirty air filter, thermostat issues, or incorrect refrigerant levels. Check and clean the filter, ensure the thermostat is functioning properly, and have refrigerant levels checked by a technician.
Freezing may indicate insufficient airflow, a dirty filter, or low refrigerant levels. Turn off the unit and allow it to defrost, check and clean the air filter, and ensure airflow is not obstructed. Contact a professional for refrigerant issues.
