The Many Noises of an AC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might be surprised by how many different types of noises\nyour air conditioner could make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hissing and Bubbling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A hissing or bubbling noise coming from your air conditioner\ncould be a signal that your AC is suffering from a refrigerant leak.\nRefrigerant is kept as a highly pressurized gas within the refrigerant lines of\nyour AC system. So, refrigerant leaks can mean that your AC is running low on\nrefrigerant while performing ineffectively, as well as that you\u2019ll need to\nspend money on a pretty expensive repair soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rattling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A rattling noise signals that something has fallen loose in\nyour air conditioner. Air conditioners have many screws and ball bearings\nwithin them that could have fallen loose over the conventional wear and tear\nthat your AC goes through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clicking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s normal for your AC to click when it turns on and off.\nHowever, if you\u2019re noticing many clicks over the course of a cooling cycle,\nthat could mean it\u2019s hard starting repetitively because of an electrical\nproblem or circuit issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buzzing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Buzzing noises are usually a clue that there\u2019s an electrical issue occurring, but it could be worse than that. Sometimes buzzes are accompanied by a spark or a burning smell, which can indicate an overheating fan or an electrical problem that is dangerous. Contact a technician as soon as possible if you\u2019re noticing this symptom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grinding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Metal on metal contact can give off a familiar and disconcerting grinding noise. If your air conditioner is giving off a grinding noise, either soft or loud, this could be an indication of a compressor problem or damaged belt that\u2019s inhibiting the effectiveness of your system. The compressor is the heart of your cooling unit, so any problem that has to do with your compressor is worth calling a professional over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the moral of the story is that none of these noises are good and none of them are simple to fix. The simplest and most effective solution to an abnormal air conditioner noise is to call a service professional to take care of your AC problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
