What it is: The insulation on the AC suction line is missing or deteriorated.
Why it matters

Sun and weather degrade exposed line insulation on Bloomington homes over many seasons.
Signs to watch for
- bare copper suction line
- cracked or missing foam insulation
- condensation dripping from the line
