What Is That Noise My AC Is Making? Bartlett Heating and Air Has the Answer.

Your air conditioner can make many different noises over time. Some of these noises are harmless, but some are more serious and require immediate attention. Here is a list of the various noises the AC can make and possible reasons why. If your air conditioner is chirping, you could have dry bearings. Chirping can also mean that your fan is rubbing or that the belt needs to be replaced. If you let the chirping go on without fixing the AC it can turn into a squeal which signals those issues getting worse. They also signal that the fan is getting ready to go out so call Bartlett Heating and Air to come inspect your AC before the issue gets worse.  If your air conditioner is making a growling noise, your compressor might be going out. This is a serious noise and you should shut the AC off right away and call Bartlett Heating and Air before it worsens. There are tons of parts inside your air conditioner to make it run, because of this, you will get occasional rattling. Rattling can also mean you have a loose fan motor, the fan is off balance because of bent blades, loose belts of panels, or just old age. If your air conditioner starts to knock it should be looked at right away. Knocks can be caused by faulty compressors, refrigerant pressures being off, valves that are stuck, or a loose compressor. All these noises should be looked at by a professional like the ones at Bartlett Heating and Air sooner than later to catch and fix the issue early. This will save you time and money so call Barltett Heating and Air today!
