When the air conditioning quits in Spring Hill, TN, the house tells you fast, and so does everyone in it. The part that fails most often is the humble run capacitor: a few dollars of electronics that starts the compressor and fan, weakens quietly for years, and finally lets go on a brutal afternoon, leaving the outdoor unit humming but the fan still. Right behind it come pitted contactors that no longer pass power cleanly, condenser fan motors with dry bearings, refrigerant leaks that slowly bleed the system's capacity away, and evaporator coils that ice over solid whenever airflow collapses behind a clogged filter.

- Frost or ice forming on the copper lines or the indoor coil
- The outdoor unit humming or clicking but the fan not spinning
- A hiss or gurgle from the lines, a common sign of leaking refrigerant
- Higher summer bills even though the house still feels warm and humid
- Vents blowing air that is barely cooler than the room
- Water dripping from the indoor unit or showing up on the ceiling below
