If you notice excess noise coming from your Newtown air conditioner, it might be a problem that can be fixed by your technician. Here are some common causes of excess noise from an air conditioner and what you can do to fix them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blower \u2013 The blower is a motor and fan blade assembly. If the blade touches the housing or if the motor needs a tune up, it might start to make excess noise. Loose screws, foreign objects, or a need for oiling or new parts will all cause noise problems.<\/li>\n<li>Ductwork \u2013 If the sounds you\u2019re hearing are in the ductwork or vents, it may be due to expansion and contraction in your ventilation system. This is normal and while it may be obnoxious, it tends not to persist during the hottest months as temperature won\u2019t fluctuate as much.<\/li>\n<li>Bubbling Sounds \u2013 If you hear a gurgly or bubbly noise coming from your indoor unit, it may be due to a blockage in the condensate line. The easiest solution is to have a tech clean the condensate line and check for any clogs or blockages in the system.<\/li>\n<li>Clicking Sounds \u2013 If you hear a clicking sound, it is likely from the relay or contactor in the system. If this is the case, have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carneyphc.com\/contact\">Newtown AC\u00a0professional<\/a> check it right away. Electrical problems are not to be taken lightly where your air conditioner is concerned.<\/li>\n<li>Foreign Objects \u2013 Sometimes, the condenser fan will make a lot of loud noise because foreign objects get stuck in there. Sticks, leaves, toys, food from small animals \u2013 it can all get stuck in the fans and make a tremendous amount of noise. Keep the area around your condenser unit clear of debris and check it often if you hear loud noises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most noises from your Newtown central air conditioning unit are explainable and can be fixed relatively easily.
