A few weeks ago, while resting in my yard, my air conditioner cycled on.
- And I heard an odd noise coming from the condenser device that sounded like a piece of metal was loose inside.
So, after finally hearing the noise, the first thing I did was to turn off the air conditioner. Once I turned it off, I contacted an actual heating, ventilation and A/C provider to schedule an appointment. Luckily, the day wasn’t too hot, and I was able to use my ceiling fan as an update for the air conditioner. The worker came to my house the next day to inspect the heating, ventilation and A/C unit. Upon inspection, he did not hear any odd noises, in fact, he said everything was functioning well with the unit. He asked me about the noise, and I explained to him that it was metal clanking, although he also found no trace of that. He commanded that he should do a full inspection and service of the device to which I agreed. After he serviced the heating, ventilation and A/C unit, his only recommendation was that it needs to be updated soon due to its age. The heating, ventilation and A/C device is about 15 years old, and I barely have any problems with it. In fact, over the last few years, it broke down once when the capacitor malfunctioned. That happened during one of the hottest Summers that we’ve had in years, so I guess the capacitor burned out because of the heat. Either way, I also know I will need to update the device soon, however for now, until it absolutely begins to show signs of decline, I will continue to use the one that I have.
