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

May 04, 2017

 

Heating and cooling systems all have a certain number of sounds that they regularly make, but they shouldn’t be disruptive or really even audible. If your system is making unusual sounds, it typically means that it should have heating and cooling service.

Keep track of the sounds you’re hearing, turn your system off and call in pros like CNR Air Conditioning Inc. You could find that your system simply has a broken part, but it could also be an indicator that it needs a bigger repair. Recognizing how to describe the sounds your system is making might help the heating and cooling service technician understand the concern.

Here are a few of the more routine sounds that highlight a need for heating and cooling service and their potential causes:

  • Rattling, banging, clanking or thumping—while rattling normally indicates a busted part, louder banging or thumping sounds may mean a component of your heating and cooling system has completely busted or become unattached.
  • Repetitive clicking—If you listen carefully, you can hear a clicking sound when your heating and cooling system turns on and off. This is regular. However, if you’re hearing this sound repeatedly, you likely need a heating and cooling service appointment to identify if it’s a problem with the system’s relay or its electrical control.

You can prevent some of these noises from ever beginning by scheduling routine maintenance appointments with CNR Air Conditioning Inc. We can highlight and repair a number of problems before they become bigger. Just give us a call at 239-241-5318 to make your appointment.
