While an air conditioner keeps you comfortable in your home, strange noises from a malfunctioning unit can be a tell-tale sign of problems with your HVAC. There are many reasons why your unit is making noise, so it’s necessary to get professional help to solve the issue at the earliest that you can.
Possible reasons for your AC making weird noises
Loose or Misaligned Parts
One common issue involves loose or misaligned components are one of the main causes of weird AC noise. So over time, with constant vibrations and the operations of your AC, loose screws, bolts or fan blades can cause rattles, clanks or buzz sounds. Spending some time checking and tightening these up will fix the problem and you can stay comfortably in your home.
Worn-out or Damaged Fan Belt
Squealing or screeching sounds may also be heard due to a worn out or damaged fan belt. But this is the belt that connects the blower motor and fan together. These belts play an integral role in maintaining the overall functionality of the AC; if it gets damaged, it may not allow the AC to operate freely. So, do reach out for a certified HVAC technician in Mississauga to get the noise sorted.
Dirty or Clogged Air Filters
A clogged or dirty air filter is also an issue, which impedes airflow and causes rattles or whistles. Cleaning and replacing the air filters regularly in your AC can make a big difference in its performance and prevent any interruption in cooling.
Refrigerant Leaks
Hissing or bubbling sounds could indicate a refrigerant leak. This will affect cooling efficiency as well as pose health risks. Our qualified technicians are trained to find and repair such leaks safely so as to maintain comfort and safety at home.
Faulty Compressor
The compressor’s job is to circulate refrigerant, and without it, there’s no cooling, but the part can fail, making a grinding, clicking or buzzing sound. It must be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid irreversible injuries. You have to consult professionals who diagnose and see if they need repair or replacement.
