Unusual Sounds From Air Conditioning

Haunted by inexplicable sounds? It might be your air conditioning system!

A rattling sound, a scary noise, or even a screech? It may feel as though Halloween has come early this year!

Autumn is well and truly underway, and our thoughts inevitably turn to Halloween, especially with these scary noises. But what if the noises aren’t a figment of your imagination? It’s time to consider whether your Air Conditioning System might be haunting your home!

Air Conditioning Malfunction

If the rest of your home is comfortably warm, but one room always feels cold, it could be a damaged air duct obstructing airflow. A room with a blocked vent not only leaves you feeling cold, but also puts a lot of pressure on your air conditioning system, resulting in increased energy consumption. Think of it as your system’s equivalent of changing a car’s oil; regular air filter replacement is crucial. Additionally, beware of leaks caused by the expansion and contraction of ductwork or faulty vent seals.

Noises Explained

During the night, you might hear suspicious noises— crashes, screeches, and banging—all right out of a horror movie. Your first instinct might be to reach for the phone to summon a ghost hunter, but before you dive into the supernatural, consider calling a professional to inspect your AC system.

Screeching noises could indicate belt or motor problems, and the banging might be attributed to delayed gas ignition or unstable metal ductwork. If you suspect motor or belt issues, it is best to consult an air conditioning engineer. Replacing a damaged belt is easily done by an experienced professional.

Delayed gas ignition, on the other hand, can lead to system damage, so it’s crucial to address it immediately. Finally, noisy ductwork is a common issue but can be repaired by regular filter replacements.

Moving objects

We’ve all seen inanimate objects inexplicably moving on their own in horror movies. That creaky door slowly swinging shut might send shivers down your spine, but before you jump to paranormal conclusions, it might be your air conditioning acting up!

Objects moving on their own is certainly unsettling, so it’s a wise move to investigate further. Don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with Cool Services to diagnose the issue if these occurrences become a regular theme in your home. It could be a pressure imbalance within your HVAC system causing these movements.
