If your air conditioner is screaming or hissing at you, it probably isn’t full of ghosts, but it’s definitely trying to tell you something…
If you live in Florida, you’re probably in a committed relationship with your AC, and you want that relationship to last. That means you need to listen when your AC is trying to tell you something, so it doesn’t quit on you when you need it most. You know you need to call someone when you see ice on the evaporator coil or the AC stops working altogether, but some cues are more subtle. That’s why we’re providing you with a “Spooky AC Noise to English” translator that’s guaranteed to improve your relationship with your AC.
Screaming/Screeching
If your AC is screaming or screeching at you, it’s probably trying to tell you that it has a damaged or slipped fan belt. It could also be the sound of excessive friction caused by an insufficiently lubricated moving part.
Banging/Clanging
If you’re hearing banging or clanging, it could be component that’s come loose. This can result in damage to the loose component and/or whatever it’s banging against.
Hisssssssing
If your AC is hissing, you probably have a refrigerant leak, and the hissing isn’t going to stop until the refrigerant runs out.
Clicking
Clicking sounds are generally caused by a failing electrical component or capacitor.
If you’re in Sarasota, and your Air Conditioner is trying to tell you something, call (941) 921-7208 and give your AC the attention it’s calling out for, before this most important relationship suffers.
