Did You Hear That?
Your air conditioning system can’t tell you when something is wrong, but if you’re hearing strange noises coming from the equipment while it’s running, it may very well be trying to get your attention! If you hear any unusual sounds, don’t hesitate to call Parker Oil & Propane to check up on your AC system.
- Loose or broken parts can cause a banging noise – this can indicate that there is an issue with the indoor blower, or the compressor needs to be replaced
- A sign of a defective control or failing thermostat is a constant clicking that emanates from the electrical components of the air conditioning system
- Buzzing and squealing coming from the equipment are signs that the fan blades may be loose or out of balance, air filters need changing, or a bad motor
- High-pitched whistling or screaming requires immediate attention! If you hear this sound, turn your system off immediately and call Parker Oil & Propane – this sound is likely caused by a refrigerant leak, which can damage your AC system and threaten your family’s health.
Remember – it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Even if you think an unusual sound may be nothing, contact us online or call so that we can check it out and ensure that your system isn’t heading for a breakdown in the middle of a hot summer day.
