Why Is My Air Conditioner So Loud?
Why is my air conditioner making a loud noise? This is a question we get a lot!
If your AC is humming, it could be a couple of different things, such as a turned off breaker at the panel box or a blown high voltage fuse at your outdoor disconnect box.
Another (very likely) possibility is that the humming sound is due to a bad start capacitor for both the compressor and the condenser fan motor.
The capacitor’s job is to provide a boost of energy to both the components at start-up. When the capacitor fails, the fan motor will not run. The compressor also will try to start for a few seconds and hum very loudly—resulting in a very noisy air conditioner!
It’s incredibly important to have a trained professional diagnose the humming sound coming from your air conditioner before the problem gets worse.
