How I Repaired My Window AC So It Didn't Keep Me Up All Night
Posted by Unknown on 1:17 AM with No comments
Last summer season, I bought a new window a/c unit. It was my very first air conditioner purchase. Up until then, I had depended on fans and open windows to try to cool things down. However, I got a great deal on a window unit. It only cost me $140, so I thought I would give it a try. My pal and I set it up in less than an hour and, in all honesty, it does do a great job cooling.
In spite of all these positive attributes of window AC unit, it is essential to keep in mind that window units can be relatively noisy. The amount of noise depends on the number of BTUs or window a/c has. Some individuals who are sensitive to high decibel noises do not like these types of air conditioners.
The first thing I did was to check how loud the air conditioning unit was rated. I dug out the tag from the device and had a look. It just rated 60 dB. That isn't really particularly about. By contrast, my motorcycle reaches about 100 dB. I needed to figure out exactly what was going on.
I did a little investigation, and I learned that window air conditioners (and portable air conditioners) are the loudest air-conditioning units. This happens for a very simple reason. The loudest component of the device is housed inside the housing, which is then inside your home. With a central air conditioner, by contrast, the compressor is fixed beyond your home. And the compressor is the loudest part of the device. Given that the machine was brand new, I wanted to ensure that it was appropriately installed because I suspected that that might be triggering some of the loud noises.
Follow our ideas for ensuring your a/c is as quiet as it can be.
Begin by examining the screws holding the front panel of the system on. See to it that the screws are securely tightened up. If they're not, this can lead to rattling of the machine. The next step is to determine if the a/c is vibrating against the windowsill. Double check to ensure that the braces holding the window air conditioner in place are securely fastened. If that air conditioning unit system is sitting at a weird angle, simply insert some little pieces of wood between the windowsill and the a/c to hold it safely in place. Follow these pointers to ensure that your ac system is as quiet as possible all season long.
