Air Conditioner Unusual Noises and Smell

Unusual noises and Smell

Your air conditioner shouldn’t give off any scent; therefore, when you notice any, it’s a sign that your unit has a problem.

The smell of your air conditioner may mean that the wire insulation has burned or there is an electrical short. The problem may also be due to high resistance in the wiring. Unless you are an electrician, you should hire your local our AC expert to troubleshoot the unit.

While the air conditioner makes some noises, they are usually unnoticeable. If you notice that your air conditioner is getting too noisy, there is a problem that you should have it checked as soon as possible.

Rattling or growling noises are an indication of a broken fan belt, loose part, or defective motor. If there are clicking noises, the capacitor or relay may be trying to switch itself on. It’s common for the air conditioner to make running noises but it isn’t cooling. This is usually due to a failed condenser or low Freon levels.

You can try troubleshooting the problems if you have the necessary skills, but if you don’t have the skills, you should contact our local Mississauga AC contractors to help you out.
