Got a Noisy AC? Here’s When to Call for Help.
While not every air conditioner is built to work silently, there are certainly many noises that your system might emit that aren’t to be ignored. Here are some sounds that should tip you off to when it is time to reach out for HVAC service:
- Hissing: A hissing air conditioner is one that may have trouble in the system itself or its ductwork. Hissing can indicate a refrigerant leak or it can be a sign of an air leak in your ducts. There is also a chance this sound is coming from your air filter–if it is overly clogged you might be able to hear the air pushing through the debris.
- Banging: Banging is a sure sign of a problem. There is a chance of a loose part banging around inside your system or even an off-kilter blower fan creating this noise.
- Rattling: If the AC is rattling it isn’t very good. This noise can indicate loose parts or even parts that are deteriorating within your system. This is a sound in which your fan could also be a cause.
- Screeching and screaming: An air conditioner that is screeching or screaming is one that isn’t going to be easy to ignore. That’s for a good reason too because these noises are going to be ones that are a bad sign of belts that need lubrication or even of fan blades scraping around in your system.
- Clicking: If it sounds like your AC is clicking or buzzing it is likely due to electrical troubles or troubles with the connection between your AC and your thermostat.
