What Your AC Sounds Mean<\/h2>\n

We don\u2019t expect you to understand the source of every single air conditioning problem that you have. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve compiled a comprehensive list of the top air conditioning trouble sounds and their causes:<\/p>\n

Banging<\/h3>\n

Banging is probably the top AC trouble sound. When you hear this air conditioning sound it\u2019s incredibly hard to ignore. If you hear this sound coming from your home\u2019s air conditioner, you should call a professional from our team sooner than later. The most common reason that you\u2019ll hear this sound is due to a faulty air conditioner compressor. A compressor problem calls for meticulous care and a huge overhaul.<\/p>\n

If this sound occurs in routine succession it could be due to a loose fan blade. It\u2019s important not to procrastinate no matter what the problem is. Problems like this will wear down your air conditioning system fast<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Buzzing<\/h3>\n

This is probably one of those noises that you\u2019ll try to ignore for a while. It\u2019s easy to let this noise blur into the background. Buzzing noises are normally the result of loose screws or bolts causing your system to vibrate. If you let this system go on for too long it will result in a reduced system lifespan or frequent repair issues. That\u2019s the last thing you want during a hot summer! Contact our team sooner than later.<\/p>\n

Whistling or Hissing<\/h3>\n

Soft whistling or hissing noises hint at a problem with worn or improperly sealed ductwork. If there are gaps or loose parts anywhere within your network of ducts, you need a professional. You can\u2019t just tackle these problems with duct tape or caulk. You need a professional to diagnose these problems and make sure your air leakage issues are solved once and for all.<\/p>\n

Squealing<\/h3>\n

Squealing is almost always a sign that you\u2019re having trouble with your air conditioner\u2019s belts. Air conditioner trouble means that you have loose or defective belts in your air conditioning system. These components incur natural wear and tear. You can count on our team when you start to notice the signs of trouble.<\/p>\n

Grinding<\/h3>\n

Grinding is another one of those sounds that will typically alert you to a problem very quickly. If you suspect that your air conditioning motor has seen better days, you need our team to help inspect your system and get it back in shape.<\/p>\n
