Understanding Your Heating and Cooling System Sounds
Heating and cooling systems all have a certain set of sounds that they consistently make, but they shouldn’t be disruptive or even noticeable. If your system is producing strange noises, it usually indicates the need for a professional heating and cooling service.
Identify the System Sounds
Take note of the sounds you’re hearing, turn off the system, and call in experts like Temp Air. While some noises may simply signal a minor issue, others could indicate more significant repairs are necessary. Understanding how to describe the sounds your system is making will help our heating and cooling service technician diagnose the problem more effectively.
Common Noises and Their Causes
Here are some routine sounds that may indicate a need for heating and cooling service, along with their potential causes:
- Rattling, Banging, Clanking, or Thumping: Rattling often suggests a loose part, while louder banging or thumping noises could mean a piece of your heating and cooling system has become disconnected or is completely broken.
- Repetitive Clicking: A soft clicking sound when your system turns on and off is typical. However, if you hear this sound repeatedly, it may indicate an issue with the system’s relay or electrical control, necessitating a service appointment.

Many of these noises can be prevented with regular maintenance. By scheduling routine appointments for your Manhattan Beach HVAC with Temp Air, our expert technicians can identify and repair potential problems before they escalate into costly issues.
