Normal Air Conditioning Noises<\/h2>\n
Normal air conditioner sounds include things like a clicking noise just after setting the thermostat. Then, you\u2019ll hear the hum of the air conditioner, and eventually, the familiar noise of air blowing from the vents. These are normal noises, and ideally, you\u2019d want to be able to take them for granted so that you can pretend they aren\u2019t even there.<\/p>\n
Troublesome Noises<\/h2>\n
On the other hand, you should never have to raise your voice just to be heard over the sound of your air conditioner. You also shouldn\u2019t be hearing any new<\/em> noises that you haven\u2019t heard before.<\/p>\nOversized Unit<\/h3>\n
If the sound of rushing air is so strong that it\u2019s becoming a distraction, there\u2019s a chance that your air conditioner might be oversized.<\/p>\n
If that\u2019s the case, you should check to see if you\u2019re experiencing any signs of short-cycling. This is a common problem that often indicates an oversized unit, and includes symptoms like:<\/p>\n
\n- The AC turns on and off rapidly<\/li>\n
- Your cooling bill is much higher than usual<\/li>\n
- It takes a long time for your home to get cool<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
An oversized unit is typically a result of a rushed or amateur installation. Instead of calculating the power output of the AC specifically for your home, your installation technician may have used a reference book or just made an educated guess. If the unit truly is oversized, there\u2019s not much you can do but to have it replaced completely.<\/p>\n
Duct Issues<\/h3>\n
Assuming you\u2019re using a central air conditioner, then that means you\u2019re using a duct system with it. Ducts can sometimes develop problems that might create loud noises.<\/p>\n
If you hear hissing, <\/strong>you might have duct leaks. The sound of air rushing through them can definitely be enough to cause some alarm. It\u2019s not common that duct leaks make enough noise to be heard, so consider it a good thing that you can hear this problem! Having it fixed ASAP will help retain lost efficiency.<\/p>\nOn the other hand, your ducts may have been badly designed and could be making banging <\/strong>or popping <\/strong>noises. An HVAC contractor can help you by replacing the ductwork in these areas.<\/p>\nEmergency Repair Issues<\/h2>\n
There are also noises that could indicate a very serious repair issue. We urge you to turn off the unit and call for repairs sooner than later if you hear noises such as:<\/p>\n
\n- Buzzing:<\/strong> A common indication of an electrical problem. Depending on how bad the issue is, it could be very dangerous to tinker with the AC when it\u2019s buzzing.<\/li>\n
- Screaming:<\/strong> Most likely a refrigerant leak, which can bring serious damage to the compressor if prolonged.<\/li>\n
- Clanking: <\/strong>Loose or damaged parts often bang against the AC and cause clanking noises. Have them fixed ASAP before they get worse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
