How do you know when the condenser is blocked?

A blocked condenser can be identified by several signs: the air conditioning unit may struggle to cool the space effectively, resulting in higher indoor temperatures. Additionally, you might notice unusual noises or vibrations coming from the unit, and there could be visible ice buildup on the coils or water pooling around the unit. If the condenser is hot to the touch while the system is running, it may also indicate a blockage.
