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

Listen carefully to the sounds you’re hearing, switch off your system and call in professionals like Mayeuxs AC & Heating. Your system may simply have a disconnected part. The noises could also be an sign that major repairs are needed. If you know how to define the sounds your system is making, you can help your service technician figure out a solution.

Here are some common sounds that imply 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 well. This is normal. However, if you hear this sound again and again, you probably need a heating and cooling service appointment to find 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 piece. Louder banging or thumping sounds could mean a piece of your system is completely broken or disconnected.

Regular maintenance can prevent some of these noises from ever starting.
