Why Is Your Ac Making That Strange Noise?

Del-Air

A malfunctioning AC system can sound like a ghost—between the screeching
and banging, and clicking, you might think your home is haunted by a spirit
rather than a broken AC unit. Still, odd AC sounds can be beneficial and
might even indicate that it’s time to call your friendly Del-Air
technicians for
AC repair in Tampa. Below are some sounds homeowners often hear from their AC units and tips
on what they could indicate:

  • Squealing or Screeching Sounds: Is your AC making a squealing or screeching
    sound? If so, the problem might be that your blower motor has a bad belt.
    Because a blower with a broken belt will no longer turn, homeowners should
    aim to repair these issues as soon as possible. Fortunately, Del-Air can
    perform this service quickly and inexpensively, restoring your AC to normal function.
  • Banging or Rattling Noises: Are the rattles from the AC interrupting your
    TV time? Persistent air conditioner banging or rattling could indicate
    that a system component is coming loose or even that a motor is failing.
    Additionally, rattles can indicate issues with fans. In many cases with
    rattles, you will need to purchase a new part to fix the one that is defective.
    To prevent more serious problems, shut the system down and contact your
    AC technician ASAP.
  • Clicking Sounds: Hearing the occasional click of your AC turning on or
    off is perfectly normal. However, persistent clicking noises from the
    control panel or outside compressor could suggest a defective relay. Additionally,
    clicking noises could result from a malfunctioning thermostat. To be safe,
    have a professional evaluate the system.
