Sounds like the system is overcharged or some other issue. A/C repairs need to be done by a professional.

Great advice. you can add it to anything... Blah blah blah, needs to be done by a professional. I'm sure many things can be done on the ac units without having to be a "pro." IE, replacing bad switches, usually charging system.. etc. It's a little fluid dynamics.. as easy as rocket science. It's the dang wiring that drives me bonkers.
