An underperforming air conditioner can cause you discomfort and unnecessary stress, especially during the hottest days of summer. But the positive side of dealing with a failing air conditioner is that before it officially shuts down, it will show signs of deterioration, some of them are excessive noises.
The compressor is one of the most critical components of your system. It converts the refrigerant from liquid to gas and back again in a continuous cycle, creating fresh air. It is supposed to perform its job with minimal sound. But if your AC starts to operate with too much noise, especially within the compressor’s area, the compressor may be faulty. A failing compressor struggles even to start, let alone run effortlessly.
When you hear clicking sounds when the AC starts, this could indicate that the compressor motor mounts have failed. The motor that distributes conditioned air from within the compressor has issues and starts clobbering around inside its housing.
Other reasons for excessively noisy air conditioners include an off-balanced blower, faulty motor bearings, or a refrigerant leak. If you notice the sound produced by your AC is getting abnormally louder, contact a qualified professional as soon as possible. You might be in a situation where you have to choose between a significant AC repair or a replacement.
