THE AIR CONDITIONER
RUNS TOO MUCH
Check if ...
Then ...
Energy Saver is chosen.
Inside blower continues operating
for one minute to use as much cooling that is
available
in the evaporator.
Current Unit replaced
an older unit.
Newer, higher efficiency Air Conditioner
may run longer to cool the room. Total
energy consumption is less due to higher efficiency.
BTU size is too small.
A higher capacity unit may be required depending
on the size of the room being
cooled. (Page 9)

TYPICAL AiR CONDITIONER
SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Check if ...
Then ...
High pitched whine or pulsating noise that cycles on and off.
Compressor - Normal noise due to modern high efficiency compressors. (Page 1 1)
Rushing air sound.
Fan/Motor
- Normal noise of higher efficiency fans pushing air further into the
room. (Page 1 1)
Pinging or swishing sounds.
Condenser - Normal noise of water hitting the condenser to increase energy
efficiency. (Page 11 )
Gurgling
or hissing sounds.
Evaporator
- Normal noise of refrigerant
passing through evaporation.
(Page 1 1 )
Beeping.
Electronic Control - Normal noise when electronic control settings are changed.
Vibration.
Unit Vibration
- Due to poor wall or window construction or incorrect installation.

Norrnal
Sounds
High Pitched Whine
Today's
high efficiency
compressors
may have a
high pitched
whine during
the cooling
cycle.
Sound of Rushing Air
At the front of the unit,
you may hear the sound
of rushing air being
moved
by the fan.
Gurgle/Hiss
"Gurgling
or hissing" noise may
be heard
due to refrigerant
passing
through
evaporator
during
normal
operation.
Vibration
Unit may vibrate
and make
noise because of poor wall
or window
construction
or
incorrect installation.
Pinging
or Swishing
Droplets
of water
hitting
condenser
during
normal
operation
may cause
"pinging
or swishing"
sounds.
