For most of us, the thought of not having a working AC system in the summer is too much to even think about. The moment that you think something could be wrong with your AC, it is enough to strike fear into any homeowner. Most homeowners see nothing but dollar signs and misery when something goes wrong with their AC. One sign of something amiss with your AC is the presence of strange noises. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning is here to talk particularly about rattling sounds coming from your AC and what it could mean for your unit.

What Could Cause a Rattling Noise in Your AC Unit & What to Do About It

Like mentioned above, the last thing any homeowner wants to deal with is an issue with their AC unit in the middle of one of the hottest summers on record. Hearing strange noises, including rattling, coming from your AC unit can be unnerving. Getting to the bottom of the problem is always going to be the first thing you should do. Here are some common problems that might cause rattling noises to come from your AC unit:
– Debris: One thing that can cause rattling to come from your AC unit is debris caught in the unit somewhere. When speaking of your outdoor unit, it is much more common as the outdoors are full of debris that can get stuck inside your unit somehow. It isn’t uncommon for twigs, leaves, or even rocks to get stuck in an outdoor unit. Ensuring that you have regular maintenance done on your unit each year will help you avoid this issue.
– Loose Screws: There are many screws and bolts that hold your AC unit together. Over time, as you use your air conditioning system, these screws and bolts can start to become loose from regular wear and tear. Sometimes, the rattling noise that you hear needs nothing more than tightening a few bolts or screws.
– Loose Fan Blades: It might seem like your AC system is working around the clock during the summer in Vegas. That means the fan located inside your unit is working overtime. It isn’t uncommon for the fan blades to either become loose or damaged the as the unit gets older. This can definitely cause rattling noises to come from your unit when running.
– Motor Issues: One of the main components inside your AC unit is the motor. If it starts to malfunction for any reason, it can definitely lead to rattling sounds. If this is the case, you’re going to need the help of a professional to fix it.
