How I Fixed My Window AC So It Didn't Keep Me Up All Night

By Peter Demuth


If you have an ac system, chances are that it is a window device. These are the most popular kinds of a/c unit worldwide. In recent years, we've seen an explosion of window air conditioners being made use of not only the United States, but additionally in places like India and China. Window air conditioners are so popular due to the fact that they are budget friendly and they don't use up any area in your bedroom.

In spite of all these positive characteristics of window air conditioning system, it is important to remember that window units can be fairly noisy. The amount of noise depends upon how many BTUs or window air conditioning system has. Some individuals who are sensitive to loud noises really don't like these kinds of air conditioning unit.

Just before you buy a new window air conditioning system you must do a little better investigation about how loud each device is. The level of volume is measured in decibels. For example, a subway train generally is about 90 dB loud. A lot of window air conditioners measure between 60 and 80 dB. This can be very loud if you are utilizing the device throughout the night while you are trying to sleep.

The reason window air conditioners are so loud is because the compressor and the fan are housed in the exact same unit. These are the two loudest components of the whole machine. By contrast, split air conditioning system houses the fan in your house and locates the compressor outdoors. As a result, split air conditioners are typically quieter than window systems. The downside with a split a/c, obviously, is that it is priced at considerably more than a window system. If your a/c unit's decibel rating isn't really especially high, you may want to take a glance to figure out if there is some other reason your a/c is making a lot noise. Vibrating or rattling sounds are normally due to poor setup.

Here is exactly what I did to cut down the sound in my brand-new window system.

Begin by inspecting the screws holding the front panel of the device on. Make sure that the screws are securely tightened. If they're not, this can result in rattling of the machine. The next step is to figure out if the a/c is vibrating against the windowsill. Double check to make certain that the braces holding the window ac system in place are firmly secured. If that a/c device is sitting at an unusual angle, simply place some small pieces of wood in between the windowsill and the ac system to hold it securely in place. Follow these pointers to guarantee that your air conditioning system is as quiet as possible all summer long.
