What's Wrong With It?

HVAC (Heating/Cooling)

Weak airflow, or ice/frost building up on the unit

Likely cause, what to safely try first, and whether it gets worse if you wait.

Likely cause

A clogged filter restricting airflow, or a refrigerant issue causing the coil to freeze.

What to try first

Check and replace the air filter if it's dirty — this is the #1 cause of weak airflow.
If you see ice, turn the AC off and let it fully thaw before running it again.

⚠ This tends to get worse (and more expensive) the longer it's left unaddressed — worth acting on soon.
