It may seem like fresh, cool air flows effortlessly through your vents, but your AC is working hard to make that happen. A new system starts its life with fully functional parts. With time, those parts start to break down due to natural wear and tear.

You can extend the life of your system by changing the air filter regularly and scheduling at least one AC maintenance appointment each year. Breakdowns are still possible, so it helps to understand the most common reasons residents in your area need AC repair.

Did you know that the middle of summer is the most likely time that an air conditioner will break down? This is more likely if you have an aging cooling system, and/or one that hasn’t had maintenance in a while.

This said, if you’re hearing odd noises, it may be time to call for that tune-up, or better yet, repairs. Sure, no air conditioner is silent! But there are some sounds that you simply shouldn’t hear your air conditioner making, and we’re going to cover those specific sounds below–like clanging, buzzing, booming, excessive rattling, or hissing.
