Your system has a array of sounds that it usually makes. For the most part, they should go unnoticed. If your system is making strange or disruptive sounds, you likely need to call in an expert for a service session.
Listen thoroughly to the sounds you’re hearing, shut off your system and call in experts like Lakeside Heating & Air. Your system could simply have a loose piece. The noises could also be an indication that larger 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 familiar 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 hard. This is routine. 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 means a loose component. Louder banging or thumping sounds could mean a part of your system is altogether broken or disconnected.
