You know what your air conditioner is supposed to sound like when you turn it on. Most of the time, it shouldn\u2019t sound like anything; you hear the noise of it groaning to life, then it\u2019s quiet. All you hear is the sound of air blowing from the vents after the compressor kicks on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what happens when abnormal sounds occur, and they don\u2019t stop? It usually points to the need for AC repair in Rancho Cordova, CA<\/a>. Don\u2019t fret: before you pick up the phone and call for repairs, let\u2019s see if your AC is making any of the following noises and explain what they mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Banging Sounds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Metal expands and retracts. When it does, you hear some banging sounds from time to time. This could be nothing, but if banging sounds persist, it points to a different issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a list of potential problems that could show banging sounds as a symptom. It\u2019s best to have a professional technician diagnose the issue. It\u2019s recommended to stop AC operations until they can be examined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light Buzzing or Humming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Buzzing sounds normally come from the motor. You could be facing a failing condenser fan, the isolation feet could need adjustments, or your compressor could be showing signs of an early death. This sound can also happen when your coils freeze up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your coils do freeze and your AC attempts to run anyway, it can cause long-term damage to your unit. This requires you to power down your AC and let it thaw, but that alone doesn\u2019t solve the problem. You need a technician to check for damages and find out exactly what\u2019s causing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unending Clicking Noise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s okay to hear a clicking sound when you turn your thermostat down and it sends a signal to your air conditioner to turn on. It\u2019s completely normal. It\u2019s when that sound doesn\u2019t stop that you have a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuous clicking noises point to an issue with the capacitor. It could face failure, or there may be an electrical problem that doesn\u2019t present itself as buzzing or humming like we mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Screeching or Squealing Sound<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Light squealing is a sign that there\u2019s something wrong with your air conditioner\u2019s internal pressure. This could be in a variety of areas, although most of the time it ends up having to do with the fan motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your fan motor\u2019s bearings are dry, the metal-on-metal sound will steadily increase until it\u2019s very noticeable. This indicates that you either need more consistent maintenance or that there\u2019s internal damage and you need a repair specialist as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Your AC in Need of Repair?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your air conditioner is giving you trouble and the noises won\u2019t stop, it\u2019s time to call for repair. These noises can escalate into bigger problems (or there may already be large problems that point toward a breakdown). It\u2019s not something you should wait to tend to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
