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. All in all, they should be easy to overlook on a day to day basis. If your system is making bizarre or disruptive sounds, you likely need to call in an expert for a service visit.

Listen carefully to the noises you’re hearing, switch off your system and call in professionals like B&D Air Conditioning. Your system might simply have a loose part. The noises could also be an sign that major repairs are necessary. If you know how to describe the sounds your system is making, you can help your service professional work out a solution.

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

  • Repetitive clicking—You can hear a clicking sound when your system turns on and off, if you listen hard. This is natural. However, if you hear this sound frequently, you definitely 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 hints at a loose part. Louder banging or thumping sounds could mean a piece of your system is totally broken or disconnected.
