How to Tell Your Heating and Cooling Service Provider What Sound Your System is Making

May 04, 2017

Your system has a collection of sounds that it regularly makes. For the most part, they should be easy to overlook on a day to day basis. If your system is making strange or disruptive sounds, you probably have to call in a professional for a service visit.

Listen thoroughly to the things you’re hearing, shut off your system and call in experts like AZ Air Conditioning and Heating. Your system might simply have a loose item inside. The noises could also be an signal that considerable repairs are necessary. If you know how to talk about the sounds your system is making, you can help your service professional figure out a solution.

Here are some common sounds that signify a need for heating and cooling service:

  • Continual clicking—You can hear a clicking sound when your system turns on and off, if you listen well. This is normal. However, if you hear this sound repeatedly, you probably need a heating and cooling service appointment to check out if it’s a problem with the system’s relay or its electrical control.
  • Rattling, banging, clanking or thumping—Rattling usually indicates a loose piece. Louder banging or thumping sounds could mean a component of your system is totally broken or disconnected.

Normal maintenance can prevent some of these noises from ever beginning.
