When the daily outdoor heat can feel overwhelming, you can always feel good coming back to a cool home, until it is not. With an appliance as critical as air conditioning, issues that appear can often lead to unpleasant consequences, so understanding when work needs to be done is important to know! In this first part, we will discuss signs your AC may need repairs, specifically the presence of strange noises!
If you are hearing your unit making grinding, squealing, or banging noises as it is running, that can be signs of a serious issue. Grinding is typically associated with an issue with the motor bearings, while squealing can suggest a worn belt or motor. General banging can mean that something inside is loose or broken.
Ignoring these noises can lead to even more damage and more expensive repairs down the line, so addressing these issues as soon as you can is a must to avoid a whole system collapse. With any of the signs, it is important to call a professional to get the job done.
