5 AC Sounds That Mean Trouble
You want to catch the need for a repair before it costs you your home comfort. To do that, you’ll want to know what warning signs to look for or, in this case, listen for.
- Hissing: This sound can be a little harder to pick up on but if you hear hissing it isn’t a sounds to ignore. Hissing may be caused by air forcing its way through an extremely dirty filter or it can be caused by a refrigerant leak. Whatever the cause, schedule repairs to get it taken care of ASAP.
- Continuous clicking: Some clicking at the beginning or end of your cooling cycle can be normal. However, if you are hearing clicking throughout the entire cooling process, it isn’t normal. This could indicate trouble with your thermostat or another electrical component in your system.
- Screeching or screaming: These sounds are harder to ignore and that is a good thing–you want to get them taken care of as soon as possible! These abrasive sounds can be an indicator of a dry and deteriorating blower motor belt or can be a warning that you have loose fan blades scraping around in their housing.
- Rattling: Does it sound like your air conditioner has something bouncing around in it? That’s because there probably is! Rattling may be a sign of a loose part of a par that has already broken free and is rattling around in your system and causing serious damage. The sooner this noise is addressed, the better.
- Total silence: When you turn on your AC, you should hear something. Total silence, while it may sound like it is caused by a system that is just really well made, isn’t good. It actually indicates that your system isn’t responding to your requests at all–which means no cool air.
