5 Unusual Noises Your Ductless AC System Can Make

Your ductless air conditioner should operate quietly and barely make any noise. These five unusual noises can stem from problems requiring professional repairs for your ductless AC system in Okeechobee, FL:

Hissing

A leak in the refrigerant line in your ductless air conditioner can cause your system to make hissing noises. It also puts your system at risk of breaking down and not keeping your living space cool. An experienced HVAC senior service technician can locate and repair the refrigerant line leak.

Bubbling

When you hear bubbling noises, they may signal that your ductless AC system has excessive moisture buildup. This buildup typically comes from a crack, hole or clog in the drainage line. A skilled HVAC senior service technician can patch the crack or hole or remove the clog to resolve bubbling noises.

Buzzing

Many things can cause the buzzing noises you hear from your ductless AC system. Your mini-split might have dirty condenser coils. It may also have loose components or a bad fan motor. A senior service technician can clean the coils and repair the fan motor as part of your system’s yearly professional maintenance.

Rattling

Loose parts can also cause your ductless air conditioner to make rattling noises, which may be loose debris inside the system. Hire a senior service technician to tighten loose parts and clean debris to resolve rattling noises.

Grinding

Grinding noises often mean you must lubricate the bearings inside your ductless AC system. A senior service technician can handle this task for you and prevent your ductless air conditioner from making grinding noises as it operates.
