Bartlett Heating and Air Tells You How to Reduce AC Noise

There is a lot of noise in daily home life. One of the nosiest at times is your air conditioner. While most air conditioner noises are natural, here are some tips that can help you reduce the noise it does make. The first way to make sure your air conditioner is as quiet as it can be is to have it cleaned and maintained each year. This makes sure the unit is running at its best and lets you know when you need something repaired so you can fix it right away. The best time to get this done is each spring before you use the AC for the summer. The cleaning also will help it to run better and save you money on your energy bills. If your air conditioner is making an abnormal and much louder noise than normal for it, you need to call a technician like the ones at Bartlett Heating and Air right away because it likely need service. Once the repair is done, your air conditioner will be much quieter. One noise that is not a direct problem with the air conditioner is loose windows. When windows are loose, they tend to rattle when the ac kicks on and off. They will also rattle and make noise when people open and shut doors. Poorly installed windows will also allow way more outside noise to get into your home. New windows will help reduce outside noise from getting into your home as much. Older air conditioners are noisier than newer ones. The newer air conditioners were built to run quieter so you have the option of buying a new system. This is a good idea if your current system is 10-15 years old because the new ones are way more efficient than the old ones so you will be saving money on your energy bills. The new ones also come with a warranty so if anything big happens it most likely is covered. If the AC is making a rattling noise, tightening bolts and covers will help fix it. If the outside AC noise really bothers you, you can build a 8 foot wooden fence around it that will divert the noise up instead of towards the home. These are some of the things you can do to reduce AC noise. Bartlett Heating and Air can help you with all your HVAC needs so call us today!
