The noises could also be an signal that considerable repairs are required. If you know how to talk about the sounds your system is making, you can help your service professional work out a solution.
Here are some common sounds that signify a need for heating and cooling service:
- Repetitive clicking—You can hear a clicking sound when your system turns on and off, if you listen well. This is natural. However, if you hear this sound repeatedly, 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 indicates a loose component. Strong banging or thumping sounds could mean a piece of your system is totally broken or disconnected.
