Do you know when you\u2019re supposed to call for air conditioner repair in Ashland<\/a>? Ideally, when you spot a problem, but before your air conditioner breaks down completely. That\u2019s what odd sounds and weird noises from your AC do for you\u2013they let you know something bad is right around the corner. Let\u2019s talk about these sounds, what they mean, and what your next steps are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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

If it sounds like a pair of fists are banging on your air ducts, your AC isn\u2019t doing so well. Parts can come loose and bang around. It sounds like they just need to be tightened or screwed down, but it\u2019s not that simple\u2013they can loosen further and hit other components, damaging your AC in multiple places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clicking or Distant Clapping Noises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your thermostat is used to detect the temperature in your home and send a signal to your air conditioner to let it know when to turn on or off. If you’re hearing a repeating clicking or clapping sound, it’s usually due to a miscalibrated thermostat or some kind of problem between your thermostat sensor and your HVAC system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light Buzzing (Almost Like Humming)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Buzzing sounds are related to electricity. Normally, a buzzing noise indicates that the voltage to a specific piece of equipment is too high, which overloads the device in question. You might have heard this buzzing sound around your light bulbs in the past and wondered why they never last as long as they say they will on the box (spoiler alert: your wiring is bad).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With your air conditioner, that humming sound could be coming from internal wiring as it begins to give out. This is a reason to call a technician for repair ASAP. The last thing you want is an electrical fire starting in your air conditioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal Wailing Sounds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Metal-on-metal screeching is never a good sign. Metal is supposed to be lubricated so it doesn\u2019t grind against other metal, but when that\u2019s not the case, it sounds awful and causes serious damage. In fact, you should shut off your AC if you hear this noise at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lubrication can run dry over time. If you\u2019ve never heard this sound before, it\u2019s because your technician replaces it during every maintenance appointment. However, as time goes on and your AC becomes less efficient, it may run through it quicker, resulting in a screeching sound before your next appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No More Bumps in the Night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s unnerving enough to hear these sounds during the day, but at night? How are you supposed to get any sleep? Get rid of the noise, get your AC running the way it\u2019s supposed to be, and avoid all the hassle of those odd noises in the middle of the night at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your air conditioner is sending you a signal\u2013it\u2019s time to listen to it so you don\u2019t end up with bigger repairs later on down the road. Let\u2019s make sure you don\u2019t run into a headache and a half; call us today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
