With refrigerant gauges we read the pressures and measure the temperatures, without that we look at the amp draw and what the air temps are going in and out,

Why is smoke coming out of your home air conditioner?

I assume that the smoke you experience hasn't burned your house down yet. The vapor that appears about 12" from the a/c is cold air from the air conditioner meeting the warm air in the room it is cooling, and the cold condenses water vapor out of the hot air, just like a cloud. So it may be steam you're seeing -- not smoke. It should go away after the room cools down a little. If this is not the case, and it really is smoke in your room, then you need to turn off the air conditioner, then unplug it, and call a certified a/c technician. It's possible that someone may have overcharged the freon in that air conditioner.


What should you do if every time you turn on your air conditioner the copper pipes outside freeze?

You need to either get more air across the coil, or the AC is overcharged. A blocked air filter can reduce air flow and result in freezing refrigerant lines. As can an underspeed AC blower motor or a dirty blower cage.
