Some individuals are extremely sensitive to noise. In fact, the American Academy of Otolaryngology recognizes this as a health condition known as hyperacusis. For these people, a rattling furnace or the sound of a central air conditioner compressor can be maddening. Having just bought a house with an older furnace can be problematic if the attached duct pipes rattle and buzz when the equipment is running. This person may love the idea of central air but not know how he or she would ever deal with the noise. Heating And Cooling Technicians can help a new homeowner with these problems and make the house a more pleasant place.
Heating And Cooling Technicians may be able to stop the excess furnace system noise by tightening the component attachments. Over the years, the duct pipes may become loose as the old furnace vibrates to a certain extent. The technician also can thoroughly inspect the system and let the homeowner know how long it will be until the equipment should be replaced. If the individual has enough money saved, doing so before the next heating season may be advisable if the furnace is of a certain age. Furnaces in warm climates can last a very long time, but newer equipment is much quieter and doesn’t have the vibration issues more common with old furnaces. It’s also a great deal more energy efficient.
In regard to central air conditioning, the key to not being bothered by compressor noise is to have the outdoor equipment located as far away as possible from rooms where that noise would be most aggravating. A company such as AA Temperature Services would generally recommend not having the compressor right outside a bedroom, for example, because it could still be heard through a closed window. The compressor should be installed away from the south and west sides of the house if possible to keep sun exposure and the resulting heat at a minimum. If placing it there would be the best option for the residents. However technicians can provide advice on how to keep the equipment shaded without blocking air circulation.
