Your air conditioning unit is an important part of a well-functioning home, and keeping your unit in great shape is essential. While AC is vital for many, even the most well-cared-for units can be quite noisy. To help you keep noise down without compromising efficiency in your home, the experts at Long’s Air Conditioning & Refrigeration have three tips to help quiet your AC.

Top 3 Tricks for Quieting Your Air Conditioning Unit

1. Upgrade Your Fan

The fan on your air conditioner is the most active and often the noisiest part of your unit. With advancing technologies in fan design and new styles of blades, noise can be greatly reduced by upgrading your unit to a new model. This will help to muffle the sound of air exiting the unit and keep it running quietly without compromising efficiency.

2. Insulate Your Compressor

The compressor in your air conditioner is, without doubt, the loudest component, and you’re likely familiar with the sound it makes when it kicks on. Many manufacturers have begun taking advantage of muffling technology that greatly reduces the amount of noise created by the compressor. When shopping for a new unit, look for this feature and ask your air conditioning contractor what they recommend in your area.

3. Create a Sound Barrier

Give your air conditioner an aesthetically pleasing and sound-dampening fence or an assortment of shrubbery to lower noise. This is a simple and effective way to reduce noise while adding a nice touch to your lawn. Not only will you improve curb appeal and have a quieter AC unit, but there’s also no need for replacing components or upgrading to a new system yet.
