As the summer heat rolls in, the last thing you want is an air conditioner that’s making strange noises. Your AC should hum along quietly, keeping your home cool and comfortable. But if it starts to sound like a heavy metal band, it might be trying to tell you something.
What do different AC noises mean and when should you call HVAC repair service?
- Banging or Clanking: Loose or broken parts, such as fan blades or motor mounts, need fast repair to avoid major damage.
- Hissing or Bubbling: Often a refrigerant leak that requires professional detection and recharging.
- Screeching or Squealing: Usually worn or unlubricated bearings in the fan or blower motor.
- Constant Clicking: Persistent clicking can point to electrical issues or thermostat failure.
- Rattling: Caused by loose components or trapped debris inside the system.
- Buzzing: Electrical faults or a failing compressor, turn the unit off and call an HVAC technician immediately.
