How to Tell Your Heating and Cooling Service Provider What Sound Your System is Making

May 04, 2017

Your system has a set of sounds that it regularly makes. Most times, they should be easy to overlook on a day to day basis. If your system is making bizarre or disruptive sounds, you likely need to call in a certified technician for a service session.

Listen carefully to the sounds you’re hearing, shut off your system and call in professionals like Farnell Heating & Air Conditioning Inc. Your system may simply have a loose piece. The noises could also be an signal that larger repairs are necessary. If you know how to describe the sounds your system is making, you can help your service specialist create a solution.

Here are some familiar sounds that signify a need for heating and cooling service:

  • Repeated 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 definitely 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 piece. Louder banging or thumping sounds could mean a part of your system is completely broken or disconnected.

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