Dirt like stains on the ceiling or on the supply grilles
Black particles coming from your supply grills
Breathedeep:
does is smell less than fresh? musty? sour?

Thumps or bangs
What you can see, feel,hear and smell can point to serious problems.
If you see dust and dirt build-up on the air conditioner supply grilles this can indicate a lack of proper filtration or a leaking return duct system.
What you feel is important too. Rooms that are too hot/cold could result from collapsed or undersized duct work. Drafts can be a sign of infiltration caused by poor sealing windows and doors or unsealed holds and cracks in the structure. Dampness is a sign of high humidity that can point to serious problems.
What is your system saying? Those strange noise are trying to tell you something, listen. Worn blower motor bearings can cause your system to "growl". Out of balance, bent or broken fan blades will produce a symphony of noise. That "gurgle" you hear may indicate a clogged drain line. Call us, we speak your systems language!
