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 normal range of sounds that they consistently make, but they don’t need to be disruptive or really even noticeable. If your system is making weird sounds, it typically means that it’s in need of heating and cooling service.

Take note of the sounds you’re hearing, turn your system off and call in professionals like Custom Air Systems Inc. You may find that your system simply has a busted part, but it might also indicate that it needs a major repair. Knowing how to pass along the sounds your system is making can help the heating and cooling service technician troubleshoot the issue.

Here are a couple of the more normal sounds that highlight a need for heating and cooling service and their possible causes:

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

You can prevent some of these noises from ever showing up by arranging normal maintenance appointments with Custom Air Systems Inc. We can highlight and repair possible problems before they become bigger. Just give us a call at 772-247-2283 to make your appointment.
