Why Is Your Aircon Noisy?

Unwanted noise in our homes can be really bothersome and annoying. Considering the hot climate in Singapore and the intense sunlight that gives us sleepless nights, having an air conditioner (aircon) is essential. However, what happens when your aircon, which is supposed to provide a calm and cool environment, starts to annoy you with its noise? Often, we tend to ignore the sounds coming from our aircon, assuming they are normal or not serious enough to worry about. But ignoring these noises can lead to significant expenses later on if the underlying issues are not addressed in a timely manner. Noisy aircons don’t necessarily mean you need to replace them. Sometimes, a quick and simple service is all that is required, while other times, replacement may be necessary. Regardless of the case, giving your aircon timely attention is crucial to avoid unnecessary expenses and stress

Common Reasons for Noisy Aircon:

Let’s take a look at some of the most common reasons why an aircon becomes noisy:

1- Banging
2- Clanking
3- Clicking
4- Buzzing
5- Humming
6- Squealing
7- Screaming

You might be surprised to learn that aircons, like humans, can make these kinds of noises. Let’s explore these noises in more detail for better understanding.

1- Banging

Over time, the internal parts of your aircon’s compressor can experience wear and tear, which is normal for an electrical machine like an aircon. These parts may become loose or broken, resulting in a banging sound. An unbalanced indoor blower can also cause banging noises. In the worst case scenario, your aircon may constantly produce a banging sound, indicating the need for compressor replacement.

2- Clanking

When the compressor becomes loose and unbalanced, it can produce clanking sounds. This could be a clear signal that it’s time to replace your aircon. Clanking sounds can also indicate that the indoor blower and outer blade are overlapping or not properly balanced, causing them to hit other parts of the aircon. Addressing these issues as soon as they arise can prevent further damage and expenses.

3- Clicking

You may have noticed a faint clicking sound when turning your aircon on and off. While this sound is normal, if it persists throughout operation, it could be a sign of a defective thermostat. Never ignore such defects and call an experienced technician, like us, right away!

4- Buzzing

Aircon buzzing can occur due to various reasons, including a loose or unbalanced outdoor motor, a damaged blower, unbalanced fan blades, copper lines rubbing against something, dirty condenser lines, the need to change the air filter, or debris in either the indoor or outdoor unit. Repairing an aircon with such a long list of possible defects requires the expertise of a professional. Call us and leave the rest in our hands. We promise to restore your aircon to its previous fit and healthy state!

5- Humming

Although not very serious, humming indicates that something is wrong with your aircon. Vibrations are usually produced when there is an issue with the refrigerant or when a part becomes loose, resulting in a humming sound. Electrical problems can also cause such noises. The compressor is often the main culprit when it comes to noise. If you hear a humming sound from the compressor and it fails to start, it’s essential to call us for aircon repair and save yourself from annoying and potentially dangerous noises.

6- Squealing

The duct system of your aircon transfers noises from the blower and fan, often resulting in squeaks, squeals, and rattles that are incredibly irritating. If you hear a squealing sound, it’s likely due to issues with the indoor and outdoor motors. These signs should prompt you to contact us to avoid enduring terrible noise.

7- Screaming

Yes, aircons can “scream” too! But why? The only reason your aircon would scream is if there is a refrigerant leakage. Not only does this damage your aircon, but it is also harmful to you and your surroundings. The first step is to turn off the aircon and have an experienced technician, like us, inspect it.

In summary, to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your air conditioning system, it is crucial to remain vigilant and heed the warning signs. By promptly seeking our assistance, you can spare yourself the inconvenience of enduring bothersome noises that can be highly irritating to your ears.
