Ductless air conditioners offer an energy-efficient way to cool your entire or parts of your Micco, FL, home this summer. These systems operate quietly, even with the fan blowing air into your space. If you notice loud or unusual noises from your ductless AC system, read on and learn what these sounds might mean.

Loud Banging and Clanging

Loud banging and clanging noises inside your ductless AC system could indicate a damaged or loose component. These loud sounds occur as the part bangs against other parts of the system. Call us for repairs when this happens to minimize damage to the rest of the mini-split system.

Grinding and Grating

Grinding or grating noises are another sign of a loose part inside the cooling system. When one component rubs against another, it produces these noises. Lack of lubrication can also result in grinding, which may damage the components involved.

Hissing or Whistling

Refrigerant leaks in the ductless AC system can cause hissing or whistling noises. These noises happen when air gets into the system or as the refrigerant slips out. Refrigerant leaks are harmful to the environment and people and require immediate attention.

Humming or Buzzing

An electrical issue in your ductless AC system may produce a humming or buzzing sound. This noise may be faint, but it indicates a hazardous condition. If you hear unusual humming or buzzing, shut the system off and call for repairs right away to prevent further damage and electrical hazards for the system and your home.

Ductless AC systems provide efficient directional airflow to cool your home. If your system starts making loud or strange sounds during operation, you won’t get the efficiency and comfort you need for much longer.
