HVAC systems have built in noise reduction technology that generally keeps the level between 25 and 65 decibels. If the AC unit is pumping out very loud sounds or unfamiliar noises, it\u2019s going to need help from your local HVAC professionals in the Valley of the Sun. Similar to car noises, an AC sound can let you know there\u2019s an issue that needs to be fixed sooner rather than later. Here\u2019s a list of three AC noises and what may be causing them. <\/p>\n<h2>Rattling<\/h2>\n<p>Is your AC unit making a constant rattling noise? This can be one of the easier sounds to diagnose. Maybe a recent monsoon thunderstorm may have embedded sticks or dirt debris in the condenser in the outdoor unit. Sometimes a loose screw on the outside AC unit can loosen up over time due to typical unit vibration. Both situations are relatively quick fixes by cleaning the condenser or tightening screws. If you\u2019re hearing the sound inside the house, it can be from air vents recently closed in any of your rooms or from air ducts that have become loose.<\/p>\n<h2>Squealing<\/h2>\n<p>Possibly one of the most annoying sounds is a high-pitched squealing or screeching noise. There are two common causes. When the humidity levels are elevated during monsoon season, a worn out or broken fan belt can cause this sound. The other potential cause is due to high pressure in the compressor. This is the component pumping refrigerant gas that cools air through the AC unit. It\u2019s best to call for immediate assistance before additional damage is done to the HVAC system. <\/p>\n<h2>Clicking<\/h2>\n<p>A clicking noise that doesn\u2019t go away can be a problem. There are four typical causes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The AC capacitor that powers the compressor can be losing its charge.<\/li>\n<li>When the thermostat\u2019s relay is broken, or there\u2019s a wiring problem the AC won\u2019t receive power.<\/li>\n<li>The outdoor AC unit fans may be obstructed by debris or loose.<\/li>\n<li>A faulty electrical signal somewhere in the AC unit can cause the unit to shut off and on repeatedly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Bruce\u2019s Pros Are AC Noise Experts<\/h2>\n<p>Some sounds can be simple issues to resolve.
