Hello World! Welcome Friends! AC units are appliances that are built to last for several years. Sometimes due to certain reasons, they break or start to function more poorly. It is easy to notice when an AC breaks because it will not cool or heat anymore. When more subtle issues appear, owners must find out what is wrong.
A hint of a possible breakdown is loud noises coming from the unit. If owners are in doubt regarding loud noises, they can always speak with an AC professional to be on the safe side. Loud noises coming from the AC can appear for various reasons, and below is a list of the most common ones.
Loose Parts
Loose parts are the most common reason for loud noises from the AC unit. Mostly, it will be caused by loose screws because of vibrations in the unit. The sound will get louder if a screw is not tightened. One screw will lead to another, and the whole AC may break.
Due to vibrations, the outside AC unit should be connected to the wall with belts or iron poles. If the box is not connected properly, it will create loud noises when turned on. There are many moving parts inside, like the fan or the compressor. They can all create strong vibrations, which will make the AC move if it is not tied up properly.
Noise From the Fan
The fan is one of the main components of every air conditioner. It will cause a loud noise if it is not properly maintained. Such a sound coming from the fan means that it needs to be lubricated. Some other fans may be affected by rust or damaged by dirt, branches, or even small animals that get inside the unit. In this situation, if you do not want the noise to get louder, you should replace the fan.
Faulty Compressor
The compressor is the unit’s pump that helps the whole system’s cooling process and can make loud noises when damaged. Its motor can be the cause of loud noises. In this situation, the compressor and the motor should be checked until the issues are fixed.
When a faulty compressor makes a noise, it will sound like a screech that is distinctive from any other noises coming from the AC. It is similar to noises made by other broken motors, like the ones in cars or washing machines.
A Whistling Sound
A whistling sound is usually the result of broken ducts. It happens when ducts get punctured, and air flows through the small holes creating a whistling sound. The same sound can come from pipe leaks.
To fix the issues, duct and pipe replacement might be needed if the damage is extensive. If there are only tiny holes, owners can patch them to save money.
Also, a whistling sound can come from dust obstructing the filters and airflow. If a lot of dust is on the filters, there are only small areas where air can pass through, and it will sound like a whistle.
