We all know the Texas summer heat is an intense and sweltering force to be reckoned with. The soothing hum of an air conditioner becomes a welcome sound.
However, what happens when that hum stops? If strange noises are not addressed your AC system is likely to take a permanent vacation and you end up on a wait list for service.
Rattling: A rattling noise often indicates loose components within the system, such as fan blades, screws, or panels. Over time, vibrations can cause these parts to become loose.
Hissing: If you hear a hissing sound, it could indicate a refrigerant leak. Refrigerant is essential for cooling the air, and a leak can impact the system’s efficiency.
Grinding: A grinding noise can signify an issue with the air conditioner’s motor or bearings. Ignoring it can lead to more significant problems and potential system failure.
Clicking: A clicking sound when the system starts or stops is generally normal. However, continuous, or repetitive clicking could suggest an electrical problem, such as a faulty relay or control issue.
Buzzing: Buzzing sounds may stem from loose parts, debris, or electrical issues. They can also indicate a failing compressor.
Whistling: A high-pitched whistling noise usually suggests an airflow problem. It could be due to a clogged filter, blocked ducts, or issues with the blower motor.
Banging or clanking: Loud banging or clanking noises often indicate a severe problem, such as a broken or unbalanced part. It could be a result of a failing compressor or damaged fan blades.
