Today\u2019s home comfort systems are designed to work effortlessly and quietly so that homeowners hardly even know they\u2019re on. When it comes to your home\u2019s air conditioning system, it should be relatively quiet. All you should hear is the sound it makes when it turns off and on and the quiet flow of air from the vents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When all\u2019s not right with your air conditioner, it\u2019ll be sure to let you know. The most obvious way it\u2019ll do so is by disrupting your home\u2019s harmony with loud and sometimes obnoxious sounds. You shouldn\u2019t ignore these sounds for many reasons, the primary reason being that doing so will only make whatever issue is causing the noise worse. If you hear any of these noises, be sure to call us for AC repair in Colorado Springs<\/a> so we can restore your home\u2019s harmony ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Whistling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your AC can make this sound for the same reason a human can: by emitting air through a tiny opening. If you\u2019re thinking that your AC shouldn\u2019t have areas for air to leak from, you\u2019re completely right. It usually means there\u2019s a loose or damaged seal somewhere in your AC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Squealing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This sound doesn\u2019t mean your AC is squealing with delight about its ability to cool your home. In fact, it\u2019s the exact opposite. This noise means your AC probably has a fan belt that is loose, misaligned, or worn down completely and needs to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Running\/Leaking Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a sound no homeowner ever wants to hear! If it sounds like it\u2019s coming from your AC, it could mean several things. The most common cause is when the condensate drain becomes clogged and forces the condensate pan to accumulate excess water. The condensate pan is also subject to wear and tear and can develop cracks that allow water to leak out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Clicking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Depending on when you hear it, clicking noises could mean different things. When the AC is running, clicking noises could indicate that the fan blades are bent and misaligned. If your AC is clicking but won\u2019t turn on, it could be an electrical issue with the capacitors. If you have an older thermostat, the clicking could be coming from a faulty thermostat that\u2019s worn out or has a bad connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Hissing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Does your AC sound like it\u2019s angry about something? Hissing and bubbling noises usually mean there\u2019s some kind of leak. If the noise is coming from the ducts, there could be leaks in the ductwork. If the sound is coming from the AC itself, this could mean there\u2019s an interval valve leak or leaks in the refrigerant lines. Leaking refrigerant is detrimental to your health and if you suspect a leak, you should have it looked at ASAP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Banging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Banging noises from your AC usually indicates that something is either broken or loose. There could be a loose part that\u2019s banging around your system and clamoring against the walls of the unit. This noise is not only annoying but if it continues unchecked, when it bangs into something it shouldn\u2019t, then the problem is suddenly much worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
