AC Problem

Hey my ac is working but it is making a hissing sound. The sound cycles on and off pretty steadily any ideas?

Hissing? That's normal. Happens each time the compressor cycles.
Now if the compressor is cycling non stop, fast with no long breaks in between then that's a low charge which means you have a leak.

I assume you meant what fuzzy said. Fast on/off cycles.

Well, there's a leak somewhere. it's a pressure system. If it's low on freon , then it's leaking out. Likely a O ring from somewhere. You'll have to get it leak tested. There's a Dye that's added & will leak out from wherever the leak is & should be easy to spot.
from there fix the leak & recharge.
