How To Deal With an Air Conditioner Clicking Noise

Our air conditioners work best when they make no noise; that way, they can keep us cool and comfortable while staying out of mind. When they do start to make noise, it can be a strong indication that something is amiss. Clicking noises coming from your air conditioning units can quickly become annoying, but they can also point to significant issues, so it’s important to address the noise ASAP.

If your air conditioner has been clicking, Aladdin Air Conditioning & Heating is here to help. The following guide goes over different types of clicking noises, common causes, and how to deal with them.

Constant Clicking Sounds

Clicking noises that just won’t stop have the potential to drive anyone crazy. On top of that, it indicates issues within your system. The most common cause of constant clicking is a bent fan blade in your unit. When a fan blade becomes bent or broken, it will need to be fixed to make sure that AC works properly. Our air conditioning experts at Aladdin AC can easily repair or replace the fan blade.

Clicking During Startup & Shutdown

You can typically hear when your AC kicks on and off due to the change in airflow from your vents, but that’s all you should hear. If your air conditioner clicks every time it turns on or off, there could be a number of causes. Often, clicking at startup and shutdown is caused by issues with the AC’s motor, fan, or compressor relay switch.

If you’ve noticed your AC makes clicking noises when turning on or off, call a professional to inspect your unit. The highly trained technicians at Aladdin AC will be able to pinpoint the cause of the issue, repair it, and identify any related damage that may have been caused.

AC Clicks But Won’t Start

Summers in Southern California can get hot, so an air conditioner that won’t start is a serious problem. However, if your AC makes a loud click when it tries to turn on but won’t actually turn on, this can help identify the issue with the unit. A loud click during an unsuccessful startup could be caused by the capacitator, control board, or thermostat.

If this issue is happening with your unit, give the Aladdin AC team a call. When one of our technicians comes to inspect your unit, let them know about the clicking noise.
