You’ve got a runaway AC! The idea of an air conditioner that’s almost continuously sending out cool air may seem refreshing during the hottest days of the summer, but it will soon lead to a house that’s too cold and electric bills that are far too high.

One day, air conditioning systems may come with complex self-diagnostic computer systems that will quickly alert homeowners to malfunctions. But current ACs don’t have these capabilities, so it’s up to a homeowner to notice when their air conditioning system begins to behave strangely.

Normally, an AC makes only a few sounds: the whirring of motors, occasional clicking as it shuts down, and the movement of air.
