Whether it is a soft hum from the equipment or a whooshing air from the vents, it is normal for your HVAC system to create some noise. After all, it is comprised of various components working together to serve its function. Certain unnatural and disruptive sounds, however, may signify deeper or worse problems. It is important not to ignore them, as they might help you determine if you need repair or even an upgrade.
Here’s a look at some of these signs.
Common HVAC Noises and Their Meanings
The best way to prevent problems down the road is to work with a trusted HVAC contractor for timely inspections and tune-ups. That said, it pays to know which sounds are normal and which aren’t so you can take immediate steps to mend them. Take note of the following:
Keep in mind that you should only call a technician to come over when your unit is making a loud hissing noise. If the hissing is light, this implies that your filter is not secured properly. You might also have the wrong filter size, forming a gap in the seal. This can be easily repaired by replacing the filter with a more appropriate one for its size, which would get rid of the sound.
