When it comes to air conditioners making obnoxious noises and signaling the need for repairs, we&#8217;re all over that topic.<\/p>\n<p>So, keep reading as we dive into some of the more insidious noises that an AC system can make. We&#8217;ll even go over the ones you don&#8217;t need to be concerned about so you can relax about the normal noises.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Annoying Noises<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s a good chance that any annoying noises are usually a sign that your AC is in disrepair. We&#8217;ll go into detail on many bad noises you can keep your ears peeled for.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Banging.\u00a0<\/strong>Banging is a sign that something wrong is occurring within your air conditioner. A banging noise can occur when the fan is out of place or something isn&#8217;t aligned properly. When ignored, this can turn into a full system breakdown. Make sure you call a professional to have this repaired.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rattling.\u00a0<\/strong>Sometimes screws and other tiny components can become loose inside your air conditioner. These parts then jump around your system making a rattling noise, similarly to metal parts being jostled inside a closed box. While they might seem harmless at first, these problems can easily compound into other, more complicated issues down the road.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buzzing.\u00a0<\/strong>A buzzing noise signifies that you&#8217;re dealing with a faulty electrical component of your air conditioner. We don&#8217;t expect homeowners to know much about the electrical systems within their AC units, but take our word for it\u2014an electrical problem can be\u00a0<em>bad<\/em>. It&#8217;s always a good idea to have a professional on the scene to diagnose the specific issue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hissing or Bubbling.\u00a0<\/strong>These noises are infamous in the HVAC industry. They signify that there&#8217;s a refrigerant leak within the lines of your AC system. These need to be patched and repaired by a licensed technician. Otherwise, you risk ruining the efficiency and efficacy of your air conditioner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Good Ones<\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, there are some noises that you really don&#8217;t have to worry about.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A click or two.\u00a0<\/strong>Your air conditioner should make a click when it turns on and off. This is the contactor that tells the system to start up. If you&#8217;re hearing multiple clicks per cooling cycle, though, there&#8217;s a problem in your system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wind.\u00a0<\/strong>How is the cooled air supposed to get to you, if not through your ducts and out of your vents? You should hear the slight sound of a gentle breeze coming from your ductwork or air handler. This is natural and a great sign that your AC is working!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Do you recognize something wrong with your AC? <a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Call North Central Florida Air Conditioning today<\/a> for AC repair.\u00a0<em>Improving lives by improving homes!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The hard part is figuring out which noises warrant a call to a professional HVAC provider and which ones don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[70],"tags":[39,13,116],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=835"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":838,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835\/revisions\/838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ncfac.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
