When your air conditioner starts making strange sounds, it’s not just annoying, it could be a warning sign. For homeowners in Central Texas, Brazos County, and Robertson County, recognizing these sounds early can help you avoid a complete breakdown and keep your home cool all summer long. Whether you need a quick tune-up or a more serious repair, Turner Company is here to help.
Here’s a quick guide to what those common AC noises might mean:
1. Banging or Clunking
This usually indicates a loose or broken part inside the compressor or blower. It could be something as minor as a loose bolt or as serious as a damaged connecting rod or crankshaft. Either way, it’s time to call in a technician for a repair or tune-up.
2. Buzzing
A buzzing noise often points to electrical issues, like a failing capacitor or loose wiring. It might also mean your outdoor unit is clogged with debris or the condenser fan motor is malfunctioning. Electrical issues should be addressed by a professional as soon as possible.
3. Clicking
A clicking sound when your AC starts or stops can be normal. But if the clicking continues or gets louder, it could indicate a problem with the thermostat, relay switch, or electrical control panel.
4. Rattling
Rattling often means something is loose, a fan blade, screw, or part inside the AC. It might also mean your system is aging and components are wearing out. A mid-summer tune-up can catch and fix these issues before they worsen.
5. Squealing or Screeching
These high-pitched noises usually come from the blower motor or fan belt. In some cases, a motor bearing may be going bad. If you hear squealing, shut off your AC and call a technician to prevent further damage.
