In the middle of summer when the temperature slowly but steadily starts rising in your home, in spite of the AC going full blast (quite literally) then there is a more than even chance of a leakage.

However, it is not necessary that the leakage has to be a gas leak in the AC itself. Rather it could be a ‘ducting’ issue.

Ducting is a very important part of virtually every temperature controlled environment that is equipped with an AC. Unfortunately, it seldom gets the attention it so richly deserves. If there are any errors in alignment or placement, then the ducts might be prone to leakages and as such defeat the whole purpose of AC installation in your home. Such an eventuality might also lead to higher electricity bills without a corresponding increase in cooling effect. Moreover, leakages in the ducting system would also allow the egress of cold air in areas where it is unwanted.

Furthermore, if the ducts become clogged with dust and other particles, it would greatly impair the working of the cooling system and therefore, increase the load on your AC’s compressor, effectively forcing it to work harder without delivering the kind of results that you would expect. This is why it is important for all ducts as well as filters to be cleaned thoroughly at periodic intervals to ensure that cold air passes through to its desired destination without any obstruction.
