Unwanted noise at home can be incredibly frustrating, and with Singapore’s hot climate making air conditioning a necessity, the last thing you want is a noisy Aircon disrupting your peace. Designed to provide comfort and coolness, your Aircon can quickly become a source of annoyance if it starts making unusual noises.
Many people overlook these sounds, assuming they’re normal or not worth worrying about. However, ignoring minor issues can lead to major expenses down the line. It’s important to remember that noisy Aircons don’t always need replacing—a simple service or a minor repair might suffice. Timely maintenance can save you from unnecessary stress and hefty costs.
Common Causes of Noisy Aircon Units
Here’s a closer look at some typical sounds Aircons make and what they might indicate:
Banging
This sound usually results from worn-out parts inside the compressor, which may loosen or break over time. It can also occur due to an unbalanced indoor blower. In the worst-case scenario, constant banging could mean your compressor needs replacing.
Clanking
A clanking sound often signals a loose or unbalanced compressor. It may also mean that the indoor blower or external fan blades are misaligned, causing them to strike other components. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage.
Clicking
Hearing a faint clicking noise when your Aircon turns on or off is normal. However, continuous clicking might indicate a defect in the thermostat. Don’t ignore this—call a professional technician immediately to inspect and repair the issue.
Buzzing
Buzzing sounds can stem from various issues, such as a loose outdoor motor, misaligned fan blades, dirty condenser coils, or debris in the system. Changing the air filter or addressing loose copper lines can also resolve the problem. Let our experts handle these complex repairs for you.
Humming
While humming isn’t usually a serious issue, it can indicate loose parts, refrigerant problems, or electrical malfunctions—often originating in the compressor. If your Aircon hums but doesn’t start, it’s time to call a technician.
Squealing
Noises like squealing, squeaking, or rattling typically come from the blower or motor in the duct system. These signs often point to motor issues and shouldn’t be ignored. Contact us to resolve them promptly.
Screaming
A screaming noise is rare but critical—it likely means a refrigerant leak. This is not only harmful to your Aircon but also poses risks to your health. Turn off your unit immediately and reach out to a professional to address this urgent issue.
