Common AC Sounds & What They Might Mean
Normally we would say that your system is pretty communicative when something goes awry. But that goes doubly so when it’s literally making sounds! Luckily for you, many of the sounds your system might make mean something specific, which means our diagnosis and air conditioner repairs will be quick and effective!
Keep an ear out for these common sounds:
- Rattle and clank. A very audible clank or bang coming from your system can be pretty startling. And unfortunately, it can be fairly dangerous for your system as well! These sounds most often indicate an issue with loose or damaged components that are slapping against other parts of your cooling system. Left alone, that loose part could do some serious mayhem. If you hear these sounds, it’s best to shut your system down completely and call on a professional right away!
- Squeals. A squeal or screech is almost always a problem with the belt or bearing in your blower motor. This could indicate a worn out bearing or belt, or it could possibly as simple as a lack of proper lubricant. Get this problem looked into soon, because a damaged belt will snap, and that can leave you at the mercy of a South Jersey summer in a hurry!
- Clicking and ticking. You usually hear this sound when your system kicks on or off. But if the sound continues, or is persistent after the system has cycled off, you likely have an issue with the electrical components or relays in your air conditioner.
- Whaps or thwomps. Odd sounds, but it can be hard to describe! This would be something similar to the rattling you hear from a loose component, but somewhat muted. Think about the sound a pencil stuck in a box fan would sound like. This is often much like that, as the sound is commonly attributed to debris caught in the outdoor unit’s fan.
If your air conditioner is making any of the noises listed above, contact a professional right away!
