This week, while I was outside in the yard pulling weeds, I heard a unusual noise coming from my neighbor’s yard. After listening for a while, I realized it was coming from their HVAC condenser. If you don’t know what an HVAC condenser is, it is the outside portion of a split HVAC unit. I live close to my neighbor, so I am used to hearing the condenser cycle on & off. And though the condenser is a bit noisy, this noise was unlike the typical noise I would hear. It sounded like there was some kind of metal loose inside the condenser. And after listening for about a minute or so, I realized that the noise wasn’t going away. So, of course, I went over to my neighbor’s apartment & let him know about the noise that I was hearing coming from the HVAC condenser. He wasn’t aware that it was making any unusual noises. In fact, he said the a/c unit was working & cooling the inside of his home perfectly fine. I am not sure if he contacted his HVAC worker, but if I heard a unusual noise coming from my HVAC unit, that would be the first thing that I would do, but weird noises usually indicate that there is something wrong. And even if the unit is functioning respectfully, it would be better to get the unit checked to identify the noise & get it fixed. Afterall, if there is something wrong with the unit, it would be better to identify the problem before it becomes a bigger one.
